TIME²'s parent company DM London, the UK’s leading independent specialist watch retailer, has acquired businesses The Watch Gallery, including thewatchgallery.com, and The Watch Hut, including thewatchhut.co.uk.

As more official photos are released, the fashion flock is gearing up for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and its attendant retro fashion references. In particular I'm zoning in on Carey Mulligan’s layered pearl bracelets - both pretty and a little bit different.

Combining Bulova’s 136-year tradition of quality and design expertise with Accutron’s history of innovation, the Swiss-made Bulova Accutron represents the highest expression of Bulova’s commitment to superior timekeeping.

Bulova has been a top US watch brand for over 100 years, opening its first store in Lower Manhattan, New York, in 1875. Founded by 23-year-old Bohemian immigrant, Joseph Bulova, Bulova has been renowned for a unique blend of European craftsmanship and American innovation.

It’s a long time since fashion has been what I’d call celebratory, yet look around and there’s a definite steer towards the glitzy, crazy-coloured and over-embellished – all in the same outfit. With December fast closing, cue the switch from posh goth to unashamed flamboyance on the fashion front.

Christmas is an expensive time of year, and when it comes to buying presents, we need to set a strict limit so we don’t leave ourselves short. ‘Stocking filler’ and ‘watch’ may not be two words you have ever considered pairing in the same sentence before – but there is a huge range of watches available on TIME² today that are affordable for all budgets.

These days, affordable doesn’t mean low quality - so check out my top 5 mens' watches for under £100!

Christmas is that time of year where grown men across the globe pretend that they really did want another pair of socks or pants. You may have unknowingly fallen for the “we don’t want anything” line but really we are still big kids and want the new shiny toy on Christmas morning.

Today, I am concentrating on the Gadget Guy. You know the type; he has all the latest gadgets, loves technology and can fix any computer for you within 5 minutes (no – not by just turning it on and off!). His ideal watch would be something digital or slightly retro and a bit ‘geeky’. So here are my picks for the gadget guy this year.

After caring for you throughout infancy and putting up with you during your teenage years, it’s the perfect time of year to show your Mum how much you appreciate her efforts. If you think she’s been good enough for Santa to bring her a beautiful classic watch this year, read on to steer the man with the white beard in the right direction...
