Are you team slim or oversized watch?
I used to be a team slim but ever since I saw bulky watches turning out to be more fashionable nowadays, I'm actually leaning on to the bulky watches but of course, the "bulkiness" has its limits! Though I'm not a petite person, my wrist and hands are almost the same as a petite person (okay, that's too much information) but you get the drift when it comes to me choosing my watches!

And let's not forget the fact that I'm born with a dad who loves watches dearly, I got his watch-loving genes so I am very particular in investing on watches that I like and making sure I can use them on various occasions!
That's why when it comes to watches ranging Php15,000 above, I make sure I can wear them as often as I can and choosing an oversized watch may be cute but may not work for formal events!
That's when TW Steel, the Big in Oversized Watches company says: "Why Not Both?"
I knew about TW Steel years ago when I
visited their Podium Boutique. I was searching for a nice, not so
overly expensive watch as a gift for my brother. As much as I would
love to give him TW Steel, the slim line aren't available back then and
my brother has small wrist as well and prefers slim watches!
Finally, this Dutch Brand created a Slim Line range which comprised of 10 executions, available only in 45mm dimension with the choice of steel or A-grade PVD rose gold plated cases. And of course, the beauty is not only on the exterior but TW Steel is a beauty inside as well! All models utilize a Miyota 1S13 slim movement! All models of the Slim Line Collection are embellished with sapphire crystals.
TW1300 to TW1305 (SRP Php18,000) sport a stylish turn edge leather croco-print strap
TW1306 and TW1307 (SRP Php21,000) features steel bracelets
TW1308 and TW1309 (SRP26,000)
are presented with steel bracelets resplendent in A-Grade PVD rose gold plating.
To summarize the Slim Line Collection, they are all 5 ATM Water Resistant with 6 leather strap, 2 stainless steel and 2 PVD Rose Gold Plating, that comprises the Slim Line Editions.

This is the Automatic Collection which is also new and available in the local market.

I am into oversized watches because I find it cool to wear even in a Corporate Attire. I love MK and I have two G-shock watches.
ReplyDeleteooo I love MK and G-Shock! :) Good choices!
