Watches are hard to ignore. Critics have predicted doom for these pieces ever since digital technology came around. Unsurprisingly, the conventional watch has managed to rise from a seemingly endless crevasse to reclaim its glory and place in immortality. There just seems to be things about the watch we cannot get over. The feel of that piece gracing your wrist is always something to long for, but how has the watch avoided obsolescence? The answer seems to be in its ability to reinvent itself over the course of time.
Contrary to women, who have endless options in accessories they can wear, for men the watch is one of the few accessories we have to make a statement. The designs are creative, others are vintage, while yet others experimental and playful. Here is a list of some of the classic minimal watches trending today. Because in this case less is better
