While the rest of the world focuses on fashion weeks beginning the year in New York, followed by Paris and London, the watch trend followers are focused on an entirely different segment of the world. Even decor trend watchers keep an eye on high end outer wear fads. However, when it comes to watches worn as fashion accessories, all eyes are on Geneva.
This is where the global best in horology and time piece design gather annually to show off their gadgets for the year. This show displayed some interesting new facets in watches, with some unusual additions to dials as well as some returns from classic eras. Overwhelmingly, though, the show seemed to state that elegance is back in a big way for arm wear.
One piece stole the show as the overriding favorite. It was a little square dialed number with a narrow face and black leather strap. Unusually, it was a hand wound piece, which horology fans will love for the nostalgia it brings. They will remember the age in which a time piece absolutely needed a year's worth of work to create.
The public is loving sports watches right now because of the number of functions they offer. While they're extremely practical, they don't fit in with the elegant flavor of current trends. Because chronographs need heavy mechanics if they are to be made mechanically, they tend to be thick and bulky, and this posed a problem for the designer who brought a range to the show.
It was solved through the use of the thinnest tourbillon ever made. This enabled the authentic chronograph functionality that maintains accurate time in a thin and elegant model. The micro-rotor would also have caused a bulk issue, so this was placed on the face of the watch instead of inside.
Retro is incredibly important in all fashionable areas, and thus time pieces showed a major vintage flavor. There was one commonality between all models: they were mechanical. This means that the skill of horology is currently the most important trend in fashion accessories worn as watches.
