Mechanics And Horology Become The Trends In Time Pieces Worn As Fashion Accessories

By William David Henry


As all the trend followers keep a wide eye on London, New York and Paris fashion weeks, those who care about time pieces are looking to a whole other global area. Even interior designers have their eyes on the catwalks. However, this has little influence on watches as fashion accessories: trend watchers in this area watch Geneva.

It's here that the world's top notch horologists display their wares for the season. There have been some exciting new features in men's watches this year, with timeous faces never before seen and some classics that have been revamped. All in all, though, there has been an overwhelming turn towards elegance.

One piece stole the show as the overriding favorite. It was a little square dialed number with a narrow face and black leather strap. Unusually, it was a hand wound piece, which horology fans will love for the nostalgia it brings. They will remember the age in which a time piece absolutely needed a year's worth of work to create.

Sports watches are incredibly popular among the public today because of the increased functionality they supply. While they do offer some wonderful elements, their guts tend to be bulky because mechanical versions require different sets of mechanics to cope with separate functions. This creates a problem when trying to bring in an elegant element.

It was solved through the use of the thinnest tourbillon ever made. This enabled the authentic chronograph functionality that maintains accurate time in a thin and elegant model. The micro-rotor would also have caused a bulk issue, so this was placed on the face of the watch instead of inside.

There was a return to retro eras through the design of time pieces with a vintage flavor. The one thing all the pieces had in common was that they functioned mechanically. This brings the art of horology to the forefront of trends in fashion accessories.
