"Why do I need a watch? I have a cell phone." you might say. Quite frankly, I couldn't agree more. There is really no need for a clock strapped to your wrist, when everything you might ever need on the move is crammed into a little smart device. However, if you want to make a bold fashion statement, there is no way around a dapper time-piece. That of course doesn't mean you have to go for a chunky gold and diamond encrusted Rolex. We say: Less is more, and this especially refers to our choice of wrist watches.
Void Watches - V03C Chronograph
The Void V03C Chronograph features a Japanese Miyota movement, providing a delicate precision that goes hand in hand with the sophisticated design. The included Italian croco leather watch band adds a subtle touch of luxury to this otherwise understated time-piece. Get it directly at Void.
Uniform Wares - 100 Series Wristwatch
The 100 series is Uniform Wares' most minimal designed time-piece. Entirely focusing on form and function, this subtle accessory compliments every outfit without drawing too much attention to itself. This mid-century design inspired wrist watch features among others a 37mm Stainless Steel case, a matt PVD coated finish, a Precision Japanese Quartz movement and PU rubber wrist band. Get it at The Ghostly Store.
Sometimes Watch
The Sometimes watch is truly an unique time-piece. The all black design is only highlighted by three contrasting white hands, of which the center one - the seconds hand - moves independently, therefore appearing to be out of sync. The watch is consructed of black IP Stainless Steel for extra durability and features a high quality Quartz Movement. The wrist band merely sleeps through loops on the case back, making it easy to switch the standard black leather or Kevlar band to a different colored one. This amazing watch is available at Project Watches.
