Picking out a fine timepiece is like shopping for a luxury automobile. Sure, you have your old beat-up car for running to the grocery store, but people don’t spend tens of thousands of dollars on a vintage ride to drive it to the Home Depot.

Picking out a fine timepiece is like shopping for a luxury automobile. Sure, you have your old beat-up car for running to the grocery store, but people don’t spend tens of thousands of dollars on a vintage ride to drive it to the Home Depot. They pick out a car that says something about who they are.
Think of picking out a watch a sort of a miniature version of that. In a way, it is also a much more subtle version. A man whipping around town in an expensive convertible might think it makes him look cool and exclusive. But to some he may just look pompous and flashy. The wearer of a distinguished wristwatch is the opposite of that.
When properly chosen a watch can reflect the qualities of its owner in an instant, like the flash of a smile or the glimmer in an eye. There are countless different styles of watch faces and bracelets, and the combination possibilities are endless. Take a minute and consider some options that may be right for you.
Skeleton Dial Faces
The intricate art of clockwork is too often underappreciated, all those tiny, delicate parts, ticking away and keeping perfect time. It seems a shame to cover them up with even the most fancy dial. If you are the type of person who believes that the artistry of watch making should be out in the open for everyone to see, you might consider a watch with a see-through skeleton dial.
The Android Men’s Naval Skeleton Mechanical watch is a perfect example of a crystal clear dial that allows all the intricate gears to show themselves off. The Invicta Men's Stainless Steel Quinotaur Russian Diver Watch is another simple and sleek design that offers a window into minute majesty. If you are someone who believes it is that which is on the inside that counts, you might consider a watch with a skeleton face.
Understated Faces
Johnny Cash wore all black, all the time. He wanted people to focus on what he was saying, and to do that he dressed simply. To this day, there are few things that can make people look calmer, more confident, and fully sure of themselves than understated simplicity in design. The Movado Men’s Saphire watch is a terrific example of practical elegance. The round, black case encircles a plain black dial.
The only flair apparent is the signature Movado dot that sits at 12:00. The Movado Men’s Black Dial Tungsten Bracelet Watch is another timepiece that has a face with nothing to prove. The gently arching tungsten carbide case enfolds around a calming black dial. The silver-tone hands circle beneath that signature dot and the word “Movado”. For people with a strong personality, a simple and sleek watch design will mirror the characteristics of the wearer.
Leather Bracelets
There is nothing fake about your existence. You talk straight, you work hard, and you expect the things in your life to be as reliable as you are. If that sounds like you then what other choice could you make than a genuine leather watch strap? It has worked for centuries and if it ain’t broke, well, you get it.
The Stuhrling Original Men’s Madmen Traveler Ana-Digi Sport Leather Strap Watch comes equipped with a comfortable and sturdy leather bracelet that is up for any challenge. It is available in a wide range of colors from bright red or yellow to regular old plain black. The Stuhrling Original Women’s Audrey Freedom Automatic Watch comes standard with an additional white embossed crocodile leather strap and a black satin leather strap so that you can mix and match with other accessories and outfits. For practicality or comfort, keep it real with a genuine leather strap.
Titanium Bracelets
Or maybe the most important thing to you is having the toughest, strongest watch on the block. You demand a watch as strong-willed and able-bodied as you are. The Invicta II Men’s Swiss Quartz Chronograph Titanium has a titanium bracelet that will last a lifetime. Polished stainless steel links weave in and out of satin finished titanium links for a unique and empowered look. The Invicta Reserve Men's Lupah Automatic Multi-Function Titanium & Steel Watch fuses two of the most durable metals on the planet for an unequaled tag team of metallic toughness.
Rubber Bracelets
You have a busy lifestyle. Running errands, working overtime and trying to fit a jog in between it all. For people that are active and outgoing, a rubber or polyurethane strap is the way to go. The Invicta Reserve Men's Subaqua Venom Swiss Quartz Polyurethane Strap Watch offers you the flexibility of rubber without sacrificing modern avant garde fashion. On the contrary, the bright orange strap will be sure to draw compliments. The Stuhrling Original Men's Metropolis Automatic Retrograde Black Rubber Strap Watch is another example of a watch that has a great style and will go that extra mile.
When you meet a stranger it can be hard to express all of your best characteristics right off the bat. So if you are planning on buying a new watch, take some time beforehand to consider what it says about you. Then you can let it do the talking.
