This trend, seen on the streets of Paris, on social networks and on the red carpet, proves that there are no limits to creativity when it comes to accessories.
A new look on your watch
Why should a watch be worn only on the wrist? The fashion world answers that question, with inspiring looks on the red carpet and at high-profile events. Rihanna’s choice of a Jacob & Co. “watch necklace” set the tone during Louis Vuitton’s show.
Taking the trend even further was Taylor Swift, who wore a custom vintage diamond watch by Lauren Schwartz to the Grammy Awards. The message is clear: watches are not only used to tell time, they are also used to attract attention.
DIY: How to make your own watch necklace?
What makes this trend so desirable? Possibility to do it yourself.
Emma Chamberlain recently showed how a simple vintage watch strap can be transformed into a unique choker, an affordable solution that also adds a personal touch to any look.
what do you want A vintage watch case, which you then attach a long chain, leather strap or ribbon. Another option is to find a very long watch (narrow, square models are the most beautiful) and wear it around your neck like a classic necklace.
Chain watches return
The idea of wearing your watch elsewhere than on your wrist is actually classic. In the past, a pocket watch or pendant with a watch was very fashionable. Today, at a time when we mostly use our smartphones to tell the time, a watch has become as much a fashion accessory as a piece of jewelry.
A renewed interest in watches worn as jewelry is also seen in large jewelry houses. Luxury brands like Van Cleef & Arpels, Chanel and Piaget show how to steal the show with “saltoire watches,” long chains with watches attached to them. A perfect blend of vintage glamor and trends.
