Women living large

The large watch fashion trend is still going strong. It makes quite the fashion statement when you see an elegantly dressed woman or celebrity wearing a large sporty timepiece. It exudes confidence and attitude, while still being functional and incredibly easy to read.

Watches that have been great sellers with the ladies, are the Bell & Ross BR01 and BR03 Instrument models, the U-Boat Flightdeck and Classico models even up to 55mm if you can believe that, as well as the Alpina 48mm Avalanche Extreme and Corum Admirals Cup 48mm Competition.

Imagine your husband or boyfriends face when he sees you wearing a watch that is bigger than his.

Women are getting more and more into wearing a men's full size watches. It is extremely fashionable to wear a large high-end timepiece, the term a mens or womens watch is out the window. Bell & Ross has a new model that has elegance and beauty with the 39mm square size that is comfortable for either sex to appreciate.

The BRS Ceramic line has the simplistic style of their Instrument watches, with a ceramic case, and thinline to house a quartz movement. They come in White or Black Ceramic, as well as with a rose gold or diamond bezel. If you want to exude pure elegance, there are BRS full white or rose gold models with a variety of dial colors.

With the new Bell & Ross BRS Ceramic watches its never been easier to find a timepiece that represents your own personal style no matter what gender.

In these economic times of uncertainty, there are exceptional watch brands that are comparable to those of the Haute Horlogerie. There are many watch brands that are at par as far as quality and style is concerned. Watches like Hamilton which are owned by the Swatch group, who also own the movements that are supplied to watch manufacturers around the world.

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono with 7750 movement and sapphire crystal, is comparable to a IWC Portuguese chronograph with its 42mm stainless steel case, the IWC has the same base movement as the Hamilton and is four times the price. Granted the IWC is a world renown name, you pay for the marketing. Hamilton is on the mark with its styling and most important its price point. The value is uncomparable in any other watch brand.

Another example of styling quality and value would be the Alpina line of Extreme watches. Comparable to the Hublot Big Bang, these 48mm timepieces exude the fashion and style of todays large sporty watches. Sapphire crystals excellent attention to finishing and detail, Alpina prices are a fraction to so many watch brands in the high-end market.

The Alpina Extreme Regulator with its Unitas 6497 modified regulator movement. So many watch companies use this base movement as a regular three hand watch with manual wind. Panerai had it in there incredibly saught after 1950 and Militare watches are at a whopping 10 times the price of the Alpina, which is not even a regulator, with the hour, minute, and second hands independent of one another, which is considered quite a large complication in the world of mechanical watches.

There is a wide range of prices and styles that could satisfy any budget, as long as it turns your crank, you don't have to break the bank.

As a guy, I may not have the best understanding about fashion trends, but I do know jewelry. I also know which pieces look good on the wrists and necks of our customers. Combine hot jewelry with seasonal colours and you got this fall's trends.

Pink gold is the perfect metal for this time of year. It has a warm pinkish brown hue and is more eye-catching then the more subtle yellow or white gold alloys. Rebecca offers many collections that are made in Italy with rose gold plated bronze. The Tennis bracelet is adorned with citrine and is a beautiful modern twist on the traditional tennis bracelet. It can be worn casually with jeans and a shirt or a even a more dressed up look.

Pearls have always been a fall classic. Pianegonda offers them in their new Life collection. The silver Life necklace is made of thick silver chain that would mirror the soft thickness of a wool fitted jacket. The pearls are surrounded by silver and also 18 karat gold elements.

Calgaro's new gold collection is, as its name implies, Perfect. The Perfect collection carries over the comfort and softness that you would expect from a summer styles, but with the colours of the fall. The bracelets and necklaces are made in Italy of 18 karat rose gold, diamonds, and organic shaped faceted amethyst.
