Fashion Accessories In The Form Of Horology

By Walter Landry


Only a couple of years ago those skilled at horology didn't admire the term 'fashionable watch'. Before, time pieces that focused on style didn't concentrate on complexity, skill and number of movements. Today, however, things are changing and fashion accessories are increasingly using the best horology skills.

The public is demanding watches that fulfill many functions, and which are hand made. It's relatively easy to create complex functionality in high tech ways, but when made by hand, they are more valuable and desirable. People also want these pieces to be stylish and today, the worlds of horology and style are combining to supply the masses with the most exquisite and interesting pieces.

A complicated time piece can take a horologist a year to create and he needs to be incredibly skillful. In men's fashion, increased attention is being paid to this aspect. It's fashionable to show the guts of a watch in stylish ways by using color in the actual mechanics of the piece, which is being used in amazingly effective ways.

In women's trends, diamond encrusted faces that supply a subtle peek into the watch innards are very fashionable. Another trend dictates that women wear masculine styles so their pieces are not always as subtle. It's reasonably common to see women wearing large chronographs strapped with metal.

Movements such as moon phases and stop watch functions are extremely popular among both sexes. In a true chronograph, the stop watch feature will not affect the watch time keeping at all. In less expensive versions it slows the time by varying increments of a second.

The real versions need two different sets of mechanics, and sometimes as many as five. These are creating incredible design opportunities with brands which are creating some truly exquisite pieces. Blue and purple innards are combined with titanium outsides, for example. Those wanting gorgeous chronographs to wear as fashion accessories won't have to search far.
