Although men typically never wear a woman’s watch, women love to wear men’s watches. And most men do not mind. In fact, in most cases, it seems to make the woman even look greater than she already is and the watch even more masculine. We will explain this phenomenon later in the article, but first: what is it that makes women want to wear a man’s watch?
Daily Wear
Ladies' watches are generally more decorative than men’s watches; even the less flashy ones often have jewellery-like elements. There's nothing wrong with these delicate and decorative pieces as they can pair well with a number of great outfits. For daily wear however, some women prefer a more sporty or basic watch, one that goes with everything. Simple is the key, which brings women to the men’s section of watch stores.
Bigger is Better
Even if the woman’s watch has a very basic design, some ladies still prefer men’s timepieces because they generally have a larger watch face. Compared to a decade ago, most brands actually make smaller watches now; as a result, the larger faces on men’s watches became an even more interesting counterpart. Of course, many women still love the refined luxury brand watches, just not all the time. A bigger clock face fits well with a more sporty image and in fact, the bold face and the wide watchband combine perfectly with more delicate accessories like a diamond ring or necklace, creating a perfect balance.
Best of Both Worlds
There is one more reason women wear men’s watches, and it is probably the main one. The greatest thing about a woman wearing a man’s watch is that it creates a contrast with the feminine styling and other decorative jewellery. Thanks to this contract, a woman can look elegant, but also sporty at the same time.
So, women of the world, if you are looking for a new watch; don’t forget to check the Exclusive Men’s Watch Auction as well as the Ladies' Watch auction.
