Timeless appeal Malaysia Star
WATCHES and accessories never had it so good. Choices previewed at the recent Fossil’s Asian Sales Conference in Hong Kong ranged from trendy to classic styles, and ceramic appears to be material of the future.
Some quarters may have been sceptical about ceramic being a delicate material in the past, but today, new technologies have transformed it into a durable scratch-resistant substance. Given the right designs and accessories (think: diamante and mother-of-pearl), such watches are not only practical but fashionable, and brands like Michael Kors, Burberry, DKNY, Fossil, Adidas and Emporio Armani are all for it.
Timeless (round and square-faced) watches in colour combinations like black and white, black and silver, and gold and silver are still hot favourites for AX, Burberry and Emporio Armani. These classic timepieces are finished in white metal and complemented with silver dial and black numerals – making them reliable accessories for any occasion.
The Philippe Starck (with Fossil) watch collection is part of a series of timepieces dedicated to reconciling objects with people. Starck watches are conspicuously outstanding compared with conventional timepieces due to its unique forms and compositions. Classic black and white continue to be the focus of the season, with a splash of bright orange on the dial, glass and strap.
Besides timeless classics, brands like Michael Kors, Addias, AX and DKNY also offer multi-coloured watches for the young at heart. Available in various sizes and designs, watch lovers can be assured of stand out designs on their wrists.
