Designer Watch Style - Back To Baroque!

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.

Of course, watches are an easy way to channel the baroque-inspired trend, whether you go the whole hog by teaming with Mary Katrantzou-style prints or take baby steps with a luxe white shirt. For starters, Juicy Couture offers plenty of options with its signature jewelled watches in gleaming white or gold-trimmed pastels. More ornate are the watches from Guess; in particular, the elaborately logo-ed Whimsy and the embellished gold Autograph would feel right at home on Lady Gaga’s wrist, accessorising one of her many vintage Versace ensembles.

Less overstated is this Triwa Brasco watch. A unisex mix of sporty ceramic-style strap and dazzling gold dial, it tempers Givenchy’s opulent chain-print bomber jackets beautifully. Team with cream cashmere and a mess of gold bracelets for a daytime take on lavish luxe.
