Fashionable Friday: Oversized Watches

It may not be a hard and fast rule, but, let's face it: Sometimes bigger is just better. Here's wishing you a weekend where the watch is simply for the style, no timekeeping required...

Oversized watches are by far my most favourite accessory. I don't wear a lot of jewelry, but this is a staple in the wardrobe. Trendy and fun, or classy and professional, this goes with it all!

StagerLinda said...

Love big watches. Kinda coveting the last one in rose gold. This accessory can update a wardrobe for 'mature' ladies.

Not only beautiful but a must when ones eyesight isn't as good as it used to be!

Splendid Sass said...

I love ALL of these photos...they are just oh so chic! Great finds!

Annie said...

This look is definitely one of my favorites. Michael Kors actually makes some of my favorite watches of all time, including his men's watches. I've been wearing mine for a few years, and think it may be time to invest in another.. ;)

The Pink Pagoda said...

The watches are gorgeous, and the green, white and black in the 5th photo down is fantastic!!

The bigger the better. Watches have always been a top priority ever since I have been old enough to shop on my own. All of these are really cute.

Love big watches. they were big in the 80s also. I use to wear my husbands watch to work when no one else was wearing big watches. I just think it looks chic!! Love the Michael Kors rectangle tortoise watch that is out, I have it on my radar! Happy Weekend,
Kathysue

I've yet to purchase one of these large watches. The ones are want are pricey and I wonder if they are just trendy. These are gorgeous and now I feel that maybe I should get one. I'm torn between gold or white.. stress! :)

Enjoy your weekend.

I'm a sucker for big golden watches :) Even if they don't really work. Great post!

Splendid Market said...

Must admit I have never been a watch girl, but if I were I would wear one of these. Thank goodness of phones!

traci zeller designs said...

I wear the same watch everyday - a classic piece purchased by my parents as a college graduation gift - so it has definitely stood the test of time (ha! no pun intended!) ... but I rather wish I had another that was men's sized!

Karen T. said...

Great post! I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful watches. (That tortoise one is really, really nice!) I love the look of the big over-sized watch faces. Don't know how much of it is the fact that it's the current trend. I think, however, that they're a must for those of us who've also finally given in and started wearing long needed "readers". I had worn the same watch (with a regular size face) for more than 26 years until Christmas of last year when I sprung for the biggest "feel good" watch face offered. I'm hooked for several reasons and will still be wearing my over-sized watch when they go out of style.

I love oversized watches, I've been wearing them for years! Each picture is a new inspiration though. Michael Kors is a good brand for a great variety at reasonable prices.

I love huge watches and have a couple of them now that are fun to switch out. My fave is my Michael Kors with the shell band - a fun accessory when you can't stand to be without a watch.

Over 30 years ago I used to wear what my husband sweetly referred to as "BIG BEN." I just adore how this style (which I still love) is making a come back. It never really took off 30 years ago, but trust me, when someone wanted to know what time it was all I had to do was lift up my wrist...and the whole room would know!! :) Lovely blog...such elegant musings!
