Women and their watches! It's complicated!
This may sound to conspicuous, but women are very conscious
of what they are wearing and if each and evry article that they are wearing is
in collaboration with the their style as a whole! The concept of time piece for
women is usually associated with being a piece of jewelry alone. What many
fashion bloggers and in many cases huge watch making companies tend to forget
that women very much like men prefer to own the best of gadgets! This is why we
can now see that there are more sporty watches for women. Even we can find
stylish watches that are equipped with the latest technology.
It is good to see that the watch makers have picked up with
the trends to design women watches with more mechanical and technical
complications so that they can enjoy the same things that men have been using
for quite a few years. The reason for the shift in ladies watches is the
increasing participation of women in every field of life, be it corporate,
business or sports or computing. The ever demanding pace of life is becoming
very similar for both the men and women and in many instances with women having
additional responsibilities then men! One of the early pioneers of this shift
in design are Jaeger-LeCoultre , their Reverso-Duo design has dual dials,
being controlled by a single mechanism. It come in two designs, men and women.
This has become a preferred timepiece for many working women , who can set
their watches to show time back home and to show the time of their new
destination.
Women watches and the myths!
The general belief that has existed for eons is that women
are always interested in things that are flashy, shiny or generally related to
jewelry or diamonds. The watchmakers have been cashing on this notion for years
and this is why there is a need to break the stereo type and promote the idea
of better designs and functional watch pieces. The men's watches have
been deigned to be more accurate with the latest possible technological
features that help them remain up to date even when they are on the go. On the
other hand women watches were all about how delicate they looked and how
intricately they had been designed with gold plating, diamonds and gemstones.
The fancy belts, or chains as wrist straps were also a consideration. The
functionality of the watch remained to its inception purpose alone, to tell
time and nothing else. While the focus of men's watches was on bold, dark
colors that exuded charm, grace and strong personality, the women's watch
colors were all about being fancy, brightly colored.
