Fat Face



To corroborate yesterday’s post on the Heather watch, an article from the October edition of Watch Pro has featured a version of my favourite over-sized Fossil ladies watch, this time on a  nude leather strap. The article notes the trend for large dial and skinny straps combinations, highlighting a few brands who do this really well.


 To read the article in it's entirety, go to the  Watch Pro website

Michael Kors of course has a look in along with George Jensen, Olivia Burton and my favourite, Vivienne Westwood. As mentioned in the article (oh look, that’s ME quoted!), paring back the width of the strap leaves more room to focus on the details of the watch face and can provide a more balanced aesthetic. It’s interesting to see that all of the watches featured in the article take a minimalist approach to dial design, the size of the case really speaking for itself:


Vivienne Westwood AW12 Clarity Bright, resist purchasing one of them HERE

Calvin Klein's Mirror watch in  gold. For those who love their reflection as much as their watches



 This style of watch has partially grown in popularity from the growing trend for ‘stacking,’ where a watch with a narrow or wrap-around strap sits in the middle of a stack of matching bracelets and bangles. A quick look at fashion watches on Pintrest or Instagram shows the popularity of ‘stacking’ and the diversity this allows. Again, Fossil does this particularly well as does Mr. Kors:


 Stacking is a great way of adding a personal style touch to your wrist and all you have to do is raid your jewellery box. My wrists are bare today except for my white and rose ceramic so I’m suffering from major wrist envy.
