Black Friday Watch Deals This week is Thanksgiving and for most folks that means turkey or tofurkey depending on your dietary preferences. It also means a day of family togetherness built into the season to remind you of all the gifts you are going to need to buy in the coming holiday saturated weeks. For some people as the plates are being scraped and left overs are making their way into Zip-Lock bags there is an urgent and potentially cold trip to the mall ahead. In the past few decades “Black Friday” has become the shopping event of the year…
Proportion Control on Oversized Watches
Oversized watches have been a big trend as of late. Both men and women alike are loving the “big look” this season. Now while oversized watches are meant to be just that, there really is a such a thing as too big. If you’re a woman looking for a luxury timepiece with a large face, at least stick to the watches designed for women. They are meant to be in proportion to the smaller wrists we women have. However, that’s not to say you can’t purchase a standard men’s watch and treat it as such because it will obviously be…
Trending Men’s Watches As Gifts
Believe it or not, men do worry about accessories, just maybe not in the same way that women do. Men worry about classic attire, such things as money clips, wallets, ties, and watches. To be caught with something lackluster opens the floor to critique. Men’s watches need to be steadfast and reliable. They must be rugged and edgy. They are more than simple timepieces, they represent social status. They are also a key to determining one’s character. If you plan on buying a trendy men’s watch as a gift keep in mind these following aspects. Collection: The collection can refer…
Time and Luxury Watches
Time is closely related to space. We wear watches in space to measure time. Sometimes time passes slowly (typically when we’re bored) and sometimes it passes quickly (typically when we’re having fun). And yet the irony is that when we have memories of weeks of boredom, they are stored in very thin layers. Our memories of fun events, birthdays, weddings, and vacations are stored in vast expanses, so that we can remember small details such as the ceramic watches we wore and how we perfumed ourselves before going to dinner at that resort we stayed at in Costa Rica, and…
Shopping for Watches Online
My watch battery just died, and I am taking this as an opportunity to treat myself to a new watch. I want to get my old watch fixed, of course, but I want a new, fancier watch as well. I am a bit of a watch addict; I remember loving watches even when I was little. As I grew older, I realized that a good watch is an investment. The watch I currently have is simple and generally dependable; perfect for my post-college lifestyle. I found it online for a great price, so after that very successful shopping experience, I…
Men’s Watches For Your Christmas List
As the holiday season approaches, I am considering what sort of high end gifts I can get for the men in my life. I really outdid myself last year when I purchased all of those iPads and now the pressure is on to deliver another knock out gift to the guys I love. It may not be the best approach but I like to buy everyone a similar gift so they know that in my eyes they are all equals. Men’s watches has become the thing I am looking into the most. I’ve found some great pieces, and if I…
Durable Luxury Watches
I am really quite ridiculously hard on my watches. I was previously a stage hand in theatre and it was almost impossible to get through a season with the same watch. My “Little Mermaid” watch, my gum band watch, and the ever popluar (in the 80s and 90s) snap bracelet watch, all litter my watch-killing history with broken faces, snapped bands, and corroded batteries. When I grew out of my “Little Mermaid” phase I began to appreciate the longevity of luxury watches. But when I somehow broke my third Pulsar, my father refused to buy me another one. I went…
An Extreme Luxury Watch
Consumers have come to expect innovative and sometimes wild designs for luxury watches. However, I don’t think anyone was quite expecting this level of “out there” with the 2lmx watch created by new watch designer Arnaud Tellier. Tellier, a former curator at the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, has taken the idea of a skeleton watch to the extreme on his newly designed watch. But it’s hard to decide if this watch is insanely awesome or just plain insane in design. The 2lmx is a mechanical watch with a core tourbillon mechanism that, unlike other watches, runs on a 24-hour…
Swiss Watches Make Well Cherished Gifts
When you need a gift for the holidays and you need one fairly quickly, there’s few things more loved or cherished than Swiss watches. The idea of a Swiss watch is understood by everybody. We all know how the name itself ensures a well made, top quality watch. We learn this early when we are pretty young. Maybe Grandpa talked a lot about his Swiss watch or we just saw a lot of Swiss made timepieces when Mom was buying her watch at the local jewelry store. That’s why when you give Swiss watches away this holiday season, you know people will…

Luxury watches come in all shapes and sizes. Fortunately for the fashionistas that want a gorgeous timepiece, one of those shapes is a bracelet. Bracelet watches straddle the professional and casual with ease. They make perfect accessories for after-dark outings because they’re dinner and club friendly. Gucci makes some really amazing bracelet watches. If you are looking for a bangle specifically, the women’s Twirl collection is one fantastic option.
