The Beauty of Designer Watches - What to Look Out for When Buying a Watch
Watches are both attractive and functional. Designer watches for both men and women are always in vogue, despite indications that say that younger people have stopped wearing watches. The reasoning behind this idea is that people are more likely to tell the time from their mobile phones. But there is more to watches than the ability to tell the time! A watch is a superb accessory that can complement and enhance any outfit, whether formal or casual. Watches are jewellery too, and an attractive one will garner compliments.
A well-designed watch is a thing of delight, something that can be handed down to your children to treasure. Designer men's watches can be made of gold, silver, platinum, titanium or even from the hull of the Titanic! Geneva-based Romain Jerome took metal form Titanic and blended it with modern shipbuilding steel. Coal which was to have been burned in the Titanic's furnaces and which was also recovered from the seabed has been mixed with ceramics to create black dials for the watches. These went on sale for up to £75,000. But you don't need to break the bank to find what you want.

Women's designer watches can also be made of precious metals, and often are enhanced with diamonds, or Austrian or Swarovski crystals. These are more likely to be dress watches.
Watch styles range from Divers watches, Military watches, sport watches, vintage and retro styles.
What should you look out for when purchasing? If your eyesight is as bad as mine, then the first thing to look for is a good clear dial so you can see the time! Apart from the practicalities such as day/date, size of dial,and whether you want Roman numerals or digital display, a funky design or classic, you should also consider whether it is for everyday wear, or to be worn for best. Fashionable watches include brands such as Storm, Diesel and Guess, while Tag Heuer, Gucci and Cartier cover the expensive end of the spectrum. A fine Cartier watch for example can cost several thousand pounds, but if looked after retains value and can be sold on at a later date. On the other hand, quality need not mean expensive- a good watch from D&G, or Tissot can combine style with affordability so there is no need to spend more than you need in these difficult times! Funky or functional, the choice is yours.
