Turn back time; this week, in honor of Madison Avenue Watch Week, we’re going vintage. Vintage watch styles are making a huge comeback, especially with the watches you’ll find in our store. In the past few years more and more men have been vying for an old – but fashionable – timepiece; they want something that has style and class but also holds memories. This is totally opposite from the expensive style of pursuit and luxury.
But, just because these watches are older in age does not make them any cheaper in price! These vintage tickers can be high-maintenance which leaves everyone asking for a something more efficient. This demand is leading modern watch-makers to solving everyone’s vintage watch deprivation.
Centuries old British Luxury Brand favored by Asprey created the Vintage Regulator. It takes inspiration from the company’s 1930 regulator clocks. With a white gold face, blue hands and an alligator strap, this watch is perfect for any man searching for their “Grandfather’s clock.”
Another classic piece of jewelry which is a symbol of age and wealth may be taking some money out of our pockets and replacing it with something else – a pocket watch. Yes, these are coming back into style as well. IWC Schaffhausen’s Portuguese Hand-wound 5454 is a replica of a 70 year old line comprised of pocket-watch style wristwatches. The sapphire crystal front, black face, and black strap are all about the classic masculine feel.
We had the pleasure of getting in a few beautiful vintage watches ourselves. This beautiful Cartier features a bright blue fabric band and diamond encrusted white gold face that screams vintage glamour.
A vintage favorite, the pocket watch, is a timeless male look that will never go out of style. Though there are beautiful modern takes on this old-school look, we still appreciate the splendor and distinctiveness of one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. Some of our favorites that we have gotten the chance to restore to their original brilliance are a true rarities with beautiful hand painting, inscriptions and intricate clock detailing.
Whichever kind of vintage watch you are looking for, it’s out there! You don’t have to rummage through your grandfather’s old jewelry or visit a wide range of antique stores to find it. You can get a new vintage watch without the maintenance price!
