Discover the most exciting New Year watch trends in 2022, courtesy of Bhindi Jewelers.
Like sands of the hourglass, so are the watch trends of the new year. While the purpose of a timepiece has remained more-or-less the same, what's in style has. Through the incorporation of new materials and the resurfacing of old designs, the luxury watch has seen countless reinventions. Feeling lost in a tide of cases and wrist straps? This guide may be a beacon of life in a sunless sea.
Minimalism, When a Little Means a Lot
Minimalist pieces are so popular they are bordering on clich. These watches break a watch down to its most basic components, whether that means their form, shape, or machinery. While the name of minimalism may give simplistic connotations, in reality these watches are varied.
This Nomos Glashuette Watch is an excellent minimalist watch. This watch has a muted, neutral tone that can match with almost any outfit. Its leather and stainless steel materials are both durable and attractive. Its face displays the time via Arabic numerals. This exquisite piece is perfect for those who appreciate the form and function of a timepiece.
Sustainability, Do Not Call it a Comeback
Make no mistake, climate change is a dire threat to all of humanity. Everyone is concerned, including timepiece enthusiasts. Some have chosen to help with their wallets and have started making environmentally friendly purchases. This includes buying items using recyclable and sustainable materials. As a result, sustainably sourced watches are gaining traction and have become rather popular.
Paneri is a brand that focuses on making environmentally friendly watches using sustainably sourced materials. Their watches are high-end, fashionable, and have a beautiful aesthetic. Paneri is on route to reaching zero carbon dioxide emissions.
Bronze, Not in Third
Bronze timepieces have an old-architecture style that have an especially unique twist: they turn a green-blue over time. This is known as patina and has been made legendary by the Statue of Liberty. It does not harm the watch, merely changing its appearance from brown to green. For an heirloom piece, a bronze watch can be particularly awe-inspiring as they show off their age.
This piece by TAG Heuer possesses many of the unique properties of bronze. It is anti-corrosive, anti-magnetic, and resistant to seawater.
Style for All
Watches are becoming more accessible than ever. Not only are there more varieties, but it is becoming more socially acceptable to wear a watch more dependent on your style than wearing a watch meant for your gender.
This Omega De Ville watch glows with a burgundy leather band and red gold case. Designers are incorporating more traditionally feminine characteristics to men's collections and masculine qualities to female watches in fashionable and inclusive ways so that anyone can look fabulous in their watches.
