Fashion houses rarely create timepieces. But now and then, some brands invest in making truly excellent timepieces. Trust us when we say that these brands do not disappoint. If you are looking for trendy timepieces with excellent craftsmanship timepieces, there are a few fashion brands that are worth noting. In this article, we’re listing down the best of them:

1.   Emporio Armani Skeleton Automatic Watch

If you are a fan of Giorgio Armani, then you will love these timepieces. It has a great collection to choose from. If you have ever wondered what one Emporio Armani watch to get, the Skeleton Automatic in the white dial is it. The watch looks and wears like a classic, perfect for a casual day out. Much like other skeleton watches, the beauty of this watch is in its movement, and with a transparent case back, you get a 360-degree view of how your timepiece ticks. Though these timepieces are at par with other luxury brands, these watches are relatively more affordable. Surely, you don’t want to miss out on this eye-catching piece. 

2.   Chanel Monsieur Calibre 1

The Monsieur watch is Chanel’s first serious horological timepiece. This is the watch that heralded the brand’s foray into watchmaking, featuring the first in-house caliber movement that has been in the making for five years. The Monsieur is powered by the Calibre 1, a self-winding mechanical movement with an impressive jumping hour retrograde with more than the standard three-day power reserve.

The Monsieur fetches an astronomical price that even a Patek will be shy, but since it has the Chanel branding, and there is an air of luxury that this timepiece carries, you will have to indulge in it if you want to get the piece. Hodinkee says that the watch wears like a dream and that the movement is stunning when viewed at the back. The dial is reminiscent of vintage watches from the day, and if you have ever had an A. Lange watch, particularly the early vintage models, you will see a similarity with both. 

3.   Bvlgari Diagono

In terms of creating watches, Bvlgari has been in the game for the longest. With a history of making jewelry that is both contemporary and intricate, Bvlgari has become one of the staples when building a watch collection. The Diagono, in its latest iteration, is a study of subtlety, not like the Serpenti that leans more towards sophisticated ostentatiousness.

With the Diagono line, you get a choice between an automatic or a quartz movement. We think that if you are serious about watches, the automatic movement should be more to your liking. It will set you back a pretty penny, but none more so when you acquire a Swiss quartz watch.

4.   Chopard LUC

Chopard has been in the game for quite some time now, and while it is true that they are more of jewelry watches than true daily beaters, the LUC collection solved all of that and more. With the LUC watches, Chopard offered its loyalists something casual yet individually Chopard at the same time. The automatic movement is a joy to have, and with a 30-50 meter water resistance, this is a watch you can use even at pool parties!

The line also has options for both men and women, which makes it more attractive for the general populace. The gents’ collection has more options, and the Traveller One in the Complications collection should be a great place to start your search. You don’t have to cast a wider net as the collection itself will surely draw any aficionado in. For the ladies, the 35mms are genuinely magnificent and one of a kind, something that you can use casually but wears well for special occasions as well.

Don’t miss out on these luxury brands!

Always bear in mind that these watches hold a significant heft to any collection; that is why you need to be careful in purchasing one. Do your diligence and research the timepieces you fancy so that you will not have buyer’s remorse in the end. And like any luxury piece of item, make sure that you get your watch serviced every other year or so to keep it in tip-top shape.
