Watch Out!

Watch Out!

There are so many classic watches that I love…

…like the Première and the Hermès Médor. But, sometimes its fun to wear a different kind of classic, like the Swatch!

Are you a watch wearer or do you just rely on your cell phone to tell time?

  • J’avais une montre à peu près similaire mais elle s’est cassée sinon j’aime bien la montre Swatch, et pour info j’utilise surtout mon téléphone depuis que ma montre s’est cassée, lamentablement !

  • Hi!
    I wear a watch all the time! I’m not used to using my phone for that! Watches are more convenient!
    I have a wonderful bow watch from Louis Pion, it looks like a bracelet! I also love Calvin Klein wacthes! I had one once, but it fell and was broken! Reparing it was as expensive as buyinng a new one…So sad!

  • Je porte les Smoothie Watch, très pratique pour les sports d’hiver ou l’été à la plage. Une vrai belle montre en plastique et swiss made! :) http://www.smoothiewatch.com

  • I love wearing my ceramic grey DKNY watch, in fact I’ve worn it every day for 3 years! I treat it more as a piece of jewellery than purely functional, I don’t think there’s anything chicer than a beautiful classic watch.

  • I have such tiny wrists and I hate watches on me!! but I really want one

  • I do too, but found a Citizen ecodrive that is small, classic, just lovely.

  • J’utilise plutôt mon téléphone haha! Mais en ce moment, j’adore la candy Swatch

  • I recently found a jewelry box with old watches of mine from high school and several of my mother’s from years ago- basically 70’s 80’s and 90’s Citizen, Skagen, Swatch, etc. – and have put them in my rotation. I’ve gotten so many compliments, which just proves that if the design is good, it will hold up over time. I’ve also been wearing a Baby G on more casual occasions and really like the size and bold colors. Nixon also has some fun designs – the men’s seem to be a little more interesting than the women’s.

  • I wear watches and I like having them so I can quickly glance at the time and not having to go through my bag to find my phone. Unfortunately my favorite watch broke the other day and now I’m in search of a new one

  • J’ai ma montre au poignet tous les jours (c’est une MK skylar de couleur argent).. Mais pour avoir l’heure, je me fie surtout mon téléphone. Et la grace à ce poste, je viens de me rendre compte que ma montre ne fonctionne plus!

  • SWATCH … pour toujours !!!

  • I love my NIXON watch. I have The time teller model in Red. I get so many compliments on it!

  • I have always loved watches and cycled among about 5 of them. Then for a milestone (!) birthday my husband gave me a Cartier tank. I wear it 90% of the time. I feel invincible when I wear it. :-) Well, at least on time in a classic way.

  • Je ne portais jamais de montre, puis j’ai pris goût à la beauté de cet accessoire et je me suis offert une belle montre Tissot pour mes 19 ans, j’en ai maintenant 23 et très rares sont les jours où elle n’est pas à mon poignet ! Cela dit je regarde également l’heure sur mon téléphone, pour plus de précision !
    Très jolie photo

  • J’aime regarder ma montre, je n’ai acheté que des modèles chronographes pour homme ces dernières années…

  • Most definitely rely on my cell for time. A watch has become a fashion accessory that I admire on other people. Love the picture here with all the red watches.

    I really loved oversized watches I hate anything that looks too dainty.

  • Surtout en été j’aime bien porter une montre un peu plus gaie que le modèle classique que je porte tout les jours. En ce moment c’est une montre en caoutchouc en bleu ciel. En plus pendant les vacances vaut souvent mieux de porter quelque chose pas trop cher.

  • J’aime bien votre concept du classique, légendaire ou plus populaire.
    Je ne porte pas de montre pour l’instant, j’attends de pouvoir m’offrir une très belle pièce sans doute vintage pour avoir le plaisir de découvrir son histoire.
    Cependant, une vieille montre à gousset acheté sur une brocante m’accompagne pour tous mes examens, comme un porte bonheur.
    Bonne soirée Brie et merci pour cet article :)

  • Moi j’en ai 3! Je les adore :)

    I used to be an avid watch wearer and then I lost my favourite (after breaking a few) and am now on the hunt again.. Currently loving this watch: http://www.thehorse.com.au/collections/watches it’s on my list for my birthday next month! Classic, yet big, to make a statement. And it’s not even expensive by watch standards!

  • Like Shan, I received a cartier tank as an anniversary gift from my husband 10 years ago and have worn it everyday since! It makes me feel very Jackie O….it makes the outfit.

  • Ugh — wish I didn’t rely on my cell phone for time, but I do! And that’s even when I wear a watch, too! I love a great watch, especially if it is a unique statement piece!

    Très jolie photo ! Pourriez vous préciser les marques de ces jolies montres estivales ?
    J’aime beaucoup celle avec le bracelet maillons !

  • Moi j’ai toujours eu des montres, des swatch surtout. Mais j’en utilise toujours une, c’est celle que m’ont offert mes grands parents pour gérer mes cours particuliers. Elle a un design assez classique à aiguille mais avec des numéros super jolis , et un bracelet jean bleu.

  • Téléphone! j’ai bien une ou deux montres, mais j’oublie de les mettre le matin. Mon rêve est une montre rose-dorée de chez Burberry !

  • My beloved Tank Solo, always wearing it

  • For me a watch on my wrist is crucial. I have a gold Casio from their men’s collection and get complimented all the time for it.

  • Love the pic! I wish I would change more my watches, but I always wear the same one… maybe because I just love it so much and it goes with everything. I prefer to use something classic and basic that will go with everything, clothes and other accessories, so I don’t have to think much of changing it… maybe I should try something new!

    The first and the last are from swatch, but what about the one in the middle with a chain strap?

  • I wear a watch every day as I don’t always carry my phone with me… I suppose that shows my age. :)
    I have 3 in rotation that I love- my favorite is my classic casual Timex – I can change out the bands. I like to incorporate them into my wardrobe.

    I am currently saving up for another watch. In the interim, I might have fun and buy a Swatch.

  • Une montre, mais just par habitude, c’est vrai que le téléphone c’est bien pratique !

    Je porte laJ12 de Chanel, que j’ai reçue en cadeau pour un grand événement, sinon j’ai découvert Daniel Wellington et Larsson Jennings, que j’adore

    J’avoue que les Swatch ce n’est pas trop mon truc, je préfère les montres plus masculines !

    Ma cartier 21 toute en acier est celle qui est préposée aux activités aquatiques! Mais cette photo est super

  • Ever since I received my Tank Solo, I wear it everyday. I love a classic!

  • I always wear a watch but somehow I always check time on my phone. I think most of my watches don’t even work !

    Une Omega Constellation, modèle simple, c’est-à-dire sans diamants, plutôt sport-chic, étanche, bracelet acier, hyper résistante, cadeau de mon époux pour nos 10 ans de mariage, et qui n’a pas quitté mon poignet depuis le premier jour.
    J’habite le pays des montres, mais c’est la seule que j’aime.
    Sweet dreams

    Watch wearer forever!
    My first watch was a gift from my parents when I turned 12, a Russian watch with mechanical jeweled movements. Now it rests in a box in parents’ house.
    Second watch was a gift from a boyfriend when I turned 23, a Japanese one with black leather bracelet and silver case. Still functional but rests in a yellow box in my room.
    Third watch, the one that I wear now, is a gift from a very dear friend of mine, received when I turned 33. It is a Swiss, Philip Watch, with a rose gold case and a black leather bracelet.
    Interesting fact, or not, is that the first two had a square display and the last one a round one:-)
    Disclaimer: I am addicted to black leather bracelets.
