There is nothing quite like a good, reliable watch. Watches, particularly luxury watches, are expected to stand the test of time and be that dependable tool that can navigate years of wardrobe and style changes.
That said, luxury watches change with the trends just like the rest of the fashion industry. This year’s luxury watch trends are especially noteworthy, as they implement a dramatic shift in what we think of as a luxury watch.
If you’re in the market for a new luxury watch, you’re in the right place. In this article we’ll cover 2018’s biggest luxury watch trends, so that your newest watch purchase is the kind of timeless and fashionable piece that you expect it to be.
Simple Yet Elegant
If there is one trend that is catching on fast within the world of luxury watches, it’s the appreciation for the simple. Gone are the days of large faced, bejeweled, gilded pieces and in its place are luxury watches with smaller faces, fewer arms, and free of flashy diamonds.
In some ways, there is more of an appreciation for the practical in 2018’s luxury watches. For instance, some of the timepieces from watch designer Elle Time & Jewelry fit this luxury watch trend.
Elle’s watch designs strip the watch face of cumbersome secondary faces and rely on simple bands that range from stylish leather to gold plated stainless steel. No longer do luxury watches need to scream wealth and class; instead, they can do it through subtle, elegant style.
Don’t Fix What Isn’t Broken
The fashion world as a whole has made a definitive step back to vintage styles, and luxury watch trends this year are no different. This shift to the past is far from a bad thing, as luxury watches in trend this year pull from the uniquely beautiful Art Deco era.
This attention to the vintage creates a stark contrast to all of the modern styling that runs rampant in our cars, tech, and architecture. Vintage luxury watches mean leather straps, warm-toned watch faces, intriguing color choices, and angular designs.
The timepiece designers at Michele have adopted this vintage style, opting for square shapes, simple watch faces, and rugged leather straps in their Deco Sport collection. Metal straps were also popular during the Art Deco Era, and the designers at Michelle were quick to remember that in their Deco collection as well.
In their Deco collection, they use stunning steel and gold-plated steel cases and bands to create a look that exudes wealth and class. The designers at Michelle certainly understand the popular phrase, ‘If it ain't broke, don’t fix it.’
