It’s good to know what time it is and to be precise. There are so many engagements we have to keep in our modern world and without a watch on your wrist it’s easy to keep your cell phone in your pocket and then you know the old saying, out of sight, out of mind, you’re ten minutes late here, five minutes late there, pretty soon you have the reputation of being the late guy — which is not fashionable.
But a Seiko watch is. A Nixon is a little less expensive and just as suave; it can help you pull off an all black outfit with a dash of panache. And if you want to have your watch for a really long time, think about a Tag Heuer. The reason these watches are harder to find for an extreme deal is that they have scratch-proof crystals, meaning they’ll stay looking good longer.
When all’s said and done your watch should reflect your own personality and who you want to be. It’s great if you can get a watch for a snap deal, but if you can’t don’t compromise — spend a little extra for something you love.
When it comes to really beautiful watches, I know what I like as soon as I see it. And as soon as I saw the Cartier Pasha watch for women, I fell in love with it. Especially in the awesome blue it comes in. This is, by no means, a cheap watch. The MSRP is about $17,000 and change, though The Watchery is currently selling it at a discount of about $14,000.
The band is lizard leather so it’s soft and contours to the wrist perfectly. There’s a light blue sunburst affect on the dial and the strap itself has a sort of rainbow look to it in various light. The clasp on the band is 18 karat white gold. I am a sucker for white gold! It really is beautiful and I like the look of silver and white materials better than yellow gold. Besides, silver and blue play off each other very well and are quite beautiful in this design.
The numbers on the face are large and playful and the the markers for the hours are diamonds. You can’t get any classier than that. I’d love to have this piece on my wrist, though it’s a bit pricey for my tastes. Still, it’s a gorgeous piece!
I needed a watch that was both an elegant status symbol but also wearable with a pair of jeans. It is hard enough getting through the day sometimes without having to worry that my watch simply was not right for my pants. So I was thrilled when I saw a good deal on Esq watches at the Watches of Dreams website. It was the kind of thing that was versatile and well crafted. Something that your average Joe might wear were he to be a classy and knowledgeable shopper.
Of course these Esq watches are great pieces but what makes them work so well in casual environments is that they have gone through ever conceivable effort to make them scratch resistant. This means I get to wear a sharp looking watch to the company golf outing and when a black tie event comes along I can wear the scratch free watch there as well.
Esq watches are a great balance of form and function. The sort of watch you could give your Dad for a big occasion or give your son expecting him to eventually “get it.” Mine rarely leaves my wrist and I would imagine your’s wouldn’t either.
When I do things, I do them big. And when I buy things, I like to buy glitz, glam and feminine styles. And what’s more glam that diamonds? Not another rock on this planet, that’s for sure. And when I shop for luxury watches I feel like it’s go big or go home. I mean, why spend all this money on a piece that’s so simple? I want something a little bit more eye-catching. And the more diamonds, the better.
So I fell in love with the Clerc CXX Scuba watch in white. Do you know how many diamonds are on this baby? 294 just on the lugs, bezel and dial. Another 32 are on the indices and 13 on the buckle. That’s 339 diamonds. I knew then and there I had to have this watch, no matter what.
Here’s the even better thing. It’s practically $20,000 at original price, but I found it on TheWatchery.com for just under $7,000. Like I said, I love my diamonds and don’t mind paying the price for them but hey, if you can save some money, you do it, right?
So now I wear this beauty out anytime I have some impressing to do, or just when I want to feel like a lady. Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend!
The Ambassador.
I’m a man who enjoys options. Surf and turf is just one way I enjoy the best of both worlds. Thus, I love having more than one watch. I enjoy a leather banded watch such as my Wittnauer Ambassador when I’m relaxing on the weekends, and a more stately one such as my Astor, while at the office.
These two watches represent my different personas, one at once rugged and refined, ready for anything; the other crystalline and classic, able to put on a good show and impress when necessary. I enjoy wearing them both equally. The looks of respect and admiration I get when I wear the Astor make me feel self-assured and confident; those I get with my Ambassador on my wrist make me feel capable and wise.
It’s great being able to cast different roles for myself. I don’t know how much of it is the watch I put on, and how much of it is me acting, but either way, I feel natural. And after all, “The world’s a stage and we are all merely players.”
So if you want to give yourself a different feeling when you introduce yourself at a party or to a boardroom of colleagues, think about Wittnauer watches.
It is said that the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem: Hello, my name is Tara, and I am a watch addict. My preoccupation with watches stems from my obsession with knowing the time. I am uncertain as to why I have always been fascinated by knowing the exact time; I do not recall what started this passion. In fact, I do not remember a time before it. 
From the time I was a young adolescent, I owned a Timex watch with a stainless steel clasp. I remember that the more sophisticated looking fastener made me feel like a sophisticated adult. As I grew older, my interest in watches expanded to include luxury watches by brand name designers, such as Michael Kors, but I maintained my loyalty to Timex as well.
I am petite and have a small wrist, so I like watches that do not overwhelm it. Although the most popular Michael Kors watches seem to be oversized, he does make watches with more moderately sized faces, such as the Michael Kors Chronograph Rose Gold Tone Steel Ladies Watch. As the name implies, the watch face, and stainless steel bracelet are both rose gold. The chronograph dial ensures that I always know the exact time, and the watch is water resistant up to 100 meters. I love the versatility of this watch; it is sport enough that I can wear it when I run errands without feeling overdressed, yet elegant enough that I can wear it as a pretty accessory when I go out to dinner at an upscale restaurant.
Like my fixation for knowing the time, my fondness for watches has not waned over the years. If anything, it has grown and matured to appreciate a variety of watch brands and styles. I guess I am not ready to abandon my addiction.
There’s no such thing as “too much” when it comes to watches. Give me lots of color, lots of bling-bling, and tons of cool features. But sometimes I want a lot without it looking like a lot and that’s why I purchased the Stuhrling Women’s Deauville Rose Watch, pictured below. It’s 100% rose gold, from the dial to the bezel to the band. It hits you right in the face with all that beautiful rose gold without being ornate and tacky looking. 
It’s an elegant watch made for only the most elegant of ladies. You can wear this with your business casual attire or dress up your wrist for a night on the town. Sometimes simplicity works. Not to mention, rose gold beats out a yellow gold watch any day of the week. Yellow gold just looks like you’re trying to rich and important, but in reality, you’re not.
You can find this stunning masterpiece at TimepieceTrading.com where it’s being sold for a mere $79, which is over $150 off the orginal price. Snatch up this beauty before it’s too late –no pun intended. Okay maybe it was…but seriously buy this watch!
Here are our favorite watches for this week.
Above is the Starck PH1116. As you can see it is a twist on the digital aesthetic. Here the ’80s watch is contemporized into a wrist band that illumines the time when a button is pressed. Pretty slick, and pretty sleek, too.
This IWC watch is gorgeous and makes me wish I could afford it. But at $8,720 from Time Imports, and the original at $10,900, it seems like it will be a long time before that’s possible.
This Invicta Sportswatch is a beauty.Perfect for the weekends, and any sporty endeavors you may encounter, this watch is a nice medium between the two above.

2. They make you look classy. It’s a nice piece of jewelry that you can wear all the time. What’s not to love?
3. You always know the time. Sure cellphones have the time. But what if your cell phone dies? What then? You’re going to have to ask around on the streets, “Excuse me, sir, can you tell me what time it is?” only to be discouraged by angry mumblings until you eventually find a sweet old lady who has the time and will only give it to you if you listen to the story of the birth of her ninth grandchild. Is it worth it?
4. They add to your stylin’. Members of the opposite sex always notice the details in what you’re wearing. If you have a nice watch, they won’t soon forget.
