Watches As Types Of Fashion Accessories

By Walter Landry


In almost any society or culture from any region in the world, style has always been a very sensitive factor considered by many people especially the rich and affluent. Different times come with different styles for different people in different classes and status in society. A major form of fashion accessories used in many styles is the watch used by both the men and the women.

Apart from keeping time, watches are also an important item used in accessorizing when adhering to a type of style or statement. A person class and status in society can easily be gauged by the type of watch he wears. This is because they range from simple time pieces which are cheap and only used for telling time to the more expensive designer watches mostly used as stylish accompaniments.

In olden societies status and affluence was mainly expressed by having a pocket watch. These were fairly expensive and were only accessible by the rich in the society. Having a pocket watch signified not only riches but also the power one held in the society. They were mainly crafted from silver and gold and also gemstones.

Modern equivalents also have the same characteristics with the designer watches being made of silver, titanium and gold including encrusted diamonds in within. They also vary in size and shape depending on the collection they are from. Some famous models include the Rolex and the Swiss watches.

Size is a major consideration when it comes to the different types of watches used as accessories. This is the major aspect differentiating women from men watches. Women prefer small bracelet sized watches while their male counterparts prefer some fairly larger models.

The watches used as fashion accessories by most people can be grouped into a variety of groups. Some notable examples include, sport types, dress types for women as well as jewellery watches. Most styles include a type of watch to pull off.
