Pay Attention, we’re ‘Watching’
5 months into 2022 & here we have an updated list of the watches all horologists need to add in their collection.
Yes, it isn’t just a silly trend anymore but watches now make your attire complete. Here’s a reminder to not start the day without covering your wrist with a worthy timepiece from the best-in-the-business brands. Still not convinced? Let me give you some reasons why a modern man should wear a watch. Did you know women check out men first by looking at three main accessories, a stylish watch, maybe cufflinks, and whether or not there is a wedding band. We probably think you’ve understood and need no more reasons. Anyways, keeping the style factor aside timepieces also make great heirlooms and are a quintessential gift to pass on to generations. Owning watches of the people who lived before you makes you think of them in a real way. Enough said, now we are here to help you find out the watch that stands out from the rest and becomes your true friend. While many luxury brands have a waiting list on the watches yet to come out in 2022, some are already out and winning hearts with their specifications and not to forget elegant hooks. Dive in!
Timex – Waterbury Dive Automatic
Successfully running the business since 1854, American global watch manufacturing is one of the most trusted brands for wristwatches. With very little maintenance their watches shine when it comes to movement & quality. Speaking of that, the watch we have for this month is their Waterbury Dive Automatic, a contemporary sports watch with a timeless classic look. Well to begin with, when wearing on the wrist, this will do justice to the craftsmanship and other design elements. It's unlike the heavy watches, thin & sleek but not dainty. Furthermore, powering this watch is a 21-jewel automatic movement that can also be hand-wound at the crown. Have a look at some of its specifications below:
