The X Factor UK has been an explosive series so far...and the best is yet to come! We're glued to our seats every Saturday night to see what the female contestants and judges will be wearing (and what they're going to sing of course!), but what about their watch style? Here we give you a run-down of the watches we think these glamorous ladies' would love to accessorise with...

Time²’s expert designer watch buyer Keira Payne-Gibbs has been out in Switzerland at BaselWorld 2011, the world’s biggest watch trade show, to source some fantastic new brands and fabulous watch collections for AW11. TIME² blog readers have been given an insight into her pick of the top trends for autumn/winter 11...

Vivienne Westwood, the designer label, has unveiled it's AW11 watch collection at BaselWorld 2011, due to launch at TIME² this September.

The Vivienne Westwood watches collection looks fabulous and prices range from £145 to £325 for both men’s and ladies’ watches. I’ve snapped one of my favourite pieces (above) which retails at £220.

We now have a host of Vivienne Westwood watches in stock, all of which can be found here.

Technology is the new bling for Ecko at Basel this year. The brand calls it ‘Street Tech’ and this collection is definitely one to watch!

Japan is great isn’t it? I can honestly say that I have never been anywhere so far removed from what I deem ‘normal’ as this place. Whether that says something about me and my lack of being well travelled I have no idea!

I like sushi. No, scrap that, I love sushi! And I especially love it when I have no idea what I’m ordering in a badly-lit, slightly risqué sushi bar in a well-hidden Tokyo back street: on my own, at night.

This time last year I was moaning about snow and arctic conditions in Berlin. Whilst it isn’t exactly tropical in 2011 at least I could feel my extremities. Maybe it was because I was warmed into a happy smile by this seasons offering from Bread and Butter, the twice annual fashion trade show held in Germany’s capital every January and July.

Military is a watch trend here to stay for spring/summer 11 and the harder, more masculine styles look fantastic on both men and women.
