subject: The Changing Face Of Watches [print this page] Celebrities the world over are selecting designer watches to match their outfit, from big bold Ice-Watch designs to glamorous, crystal encrusted styles from the likes of DKNY or Karen Millen. This new trend of co-ordinated watches doesnt stop with the celebrities, it has filtered down to the high street and the influx in watch sales proves that attitudes towards watches are vastly different now. It cant be denied that celebrity trends affect us mere mortals and I think a perfect example of this is the vast increase in popularity of Ice-Watches. These bold, colourful designs have featured in various music videos such as Katy Perry, LMFAO and The Saturdays, they are worn in the soaps by the Moon brothers and Cathy Guetta has designed her own range.
People used to own just one watch and would wear it, or not, regardless of their outfit choice or indeed what they were about to do whilst wearing their watch. Nowadays people, and especially men, own more than one watch and they are selected due to certain criteria like colour, size and functions. One might own a watch to be worn day to day, or one on nights out, maybe a different one for work and play. The possibilities are endless in the ever increasing watch market.
Its not just fashion that has changed our attitudes towards watches but even the ease of travelling worldwide has affected what type of watches are available. Watches now offer World Time functions, moon and tide graphs and temperature gauges.
With such a wide choice of sophisticated technology and fashionable designs it is no wonder people choose to have a number of watches. With designer watches ranging in price, there is a model, style and brand out there for everyone. Recent styles from DKNY, Diesel, Karen Millen and the like prove that you dont have to break the bank to get the latest look. Sure there are many brands out there, prestigious brands such as Michael Kors, TW Steel and Rotary that cost a lot more but spending lots isnt the only way we can enjoy the designer fashions. Personally I like to have a sports watch, a posh watch and an everyday watch; but I cant promise I wont invest in any more should one catch my eye!
