So, let’s say you’ve just gotten a new watch. What can you do it? You might be saying to yourself: “It’s just a watch. What can someone do with a watch, other than tell time?” But that’s not thinking creatively! Today, we’re going to look at five different watches by a group of esteemed horologists and talk about what fun things you can do with the right timepiece on your wrist!
The pieces below are offered by our friends at Clowes Jewellers, Merry Richards Jewelers, Northeastern Fine Jewelry, Kevin’s Fine Jewelry, and Quenan’s Fine Jewelers. Visit their sites or their stores to find the right pieces for any event you might be attending!
1. Pretend to be a Superhero!
Just look at this Luminox watch: Equipped with a second color countdown zone on the dial, a dive timing unidirectional ratcheting bezel, scratch resistant sapphire crystal built with antireflective coatings, a walking speed scale–and even night vision tubes!– there’s nothing cooler than this timepiece. When you put this watch on your wrist, you’re living as close to superhero technology as this world allows (And we promise not to tell if make laser noises when you play with the adjustable compass attached). This piece, the Luminox Recon Watch 8831.KM can be found at Quenan’s Fine Jewelers jewelry store, located in Georgetown, TX.
2. Relive the 80’s!
Who doesn’t want to be a Material Girl, living in material world? The 80’s might have been a lot of different things to people, but you can’t deny that the synthesizer and boombox era had a certain over-the-top cool that we still go gaga for. This timepiece, the Baby-G BA120KT-7A is a playful reminder that when you “Express Yourself”, you’ll end up “Burning Up” “Everybody” (Okay, we’ll stop the Madonna puns, promise). This durable, adorable, and playful watch is one piece of a larger collection of Baby-G watches offered by Northeastern Fine Jewelry, whose jewelry stores are the pride of New York, located in Schenectany, Albany, New York City, and Glens Falls.
3. Attend a Seductive Venetian Masquerade!
The Venetian Carnival has been going on for a thousand years, which means that the Venetians have had plenty of time to learn how to make their masquerades as extravagant and flashy as anything seen in Europe. If you ever get the chance to visit Venice during the Carnival season, try wearing the Michele Seaside MW05A36B4905_MS18AA030669 with one of the festival’s famous ceramic masks, or with a big, flouncy pink gown for an extra level of fabulous charm that honors the spirit of this Italian celebration of fun and fantasy. Kevin’s Fine Jewelry, based in Totowa, New Jersey, offers this piece as part of a larger collection of whimsical Michele watches made to delight the imagination.
4. Go Shopping in a Tiny Mountain Town!
Red Deer, Alberta, where Clowes Jewellers’ jewellery store is based, is a little far from Vail, the Colorado mountain town in the picture above, but it’s not so far from Banff or Canmore, two towns nestled in the Alberta mountains. The Kate Spade Snake Double Wrap Watch KSW1274 is the perfect timepiece for going shopping for a cute new coat or some fabulous boots while you’re enjoying the falling snow, the company of your best girlfriends, and the ability to go back to a cute bed & breakfast to cozy up next to a fireplace. This adorable, feminine watch just screams, “Yes, I’m adorable, and honey, I know it.”
5. Organize an Art Nouveau Dinner!
Try on your new top hat and get fitted for a new dinner jacket, because this fancy, fabulous Piaget watch is the perfect accessory for any man looking to put together the swankiest 1910’s-themed dinner party. The Piaget Exceptional Pieces G0A32148 is one of the finest offerings from Merry Richards Jewelers, Oakbrook Terrace, IL’s favorite jeweler. With an 18k white gold bezel and case, and an elegant mother-of-pearl dial, this watch is a curvy, organic, and delightful art piece that will accompany the absinthe and Claude Debussy music you’ve got flowing at your dinner party!
