When you get ready for any event, whether it is a meeting, interview or party, an individual is scrutinized from top to bottom. The first impression is made based on the way he gets dressed up. However, no matter how well you get dressed, if your wrist watch strap has a rubber band on it, or the strap is all worn out, then your impression goes for a toss.
A man, who is style conscious, will always pay attention to every accessory he wears. Whether it’s a belt, tie, wrist watch, cufflink, socks, shoes, sunglasses or outfit, every small touch to your style will make you look complete and unique. Just like females, men too have different styles and patterns of accessories depending upon different occasions. Hence, not only outfit or ties, but wrist watch also plays an important role. Thus, stylish men have a classic collection of wrist watches as they know its importance.
Not only the style and brand matters, but also the way you wear it and the position in which you wear it matters too. There are many brands that have appealing look. However, it is also important to not wear a particular watch with an attire. For example, an athlete will pay more attention to its specifications like waterproof and rough look, but a businessman will look into style, royalty and class.
Rolex, Tudor, Seiko, Omega, Hublot, Tag Heuer, IWC, Patek Phillipe, Audemars Piguet are some brands that fascinate today’s generation. Some brands like Seiko, Audemars Piguet, as well as Rolex are in the market for years. Audemars Piguet Holding is a Swiss company that manufactures luxury watches and mechanical clocks. The company was started in 1875, since then, the families of Jules Louis Audemars as well as Edward Auguste Piguet have owned it.
There are various models owned by Audemars Piguet, but the most famous watch is the AP Royal Oak Offshore. This watch was first presented in 1972 which was designed by Gerald Genta as Royal Oak, who has also designed some models of Patek Phillipe. Royal Oak is the first luxurious sports watch. Later, on 20th Anniversary a new designer, Emmanuel Gueit, gave a new look to Royal Oak and named it Royal Oak Offshore. Both models, the previous and current, are successful till date.
It is through media and advertisements that we get influenced by every brand. Thus, the companies pay more emphasis on the brand icons and celebrities who will fascinate their consumers. If you have seen in many advertisements, banners, hoardings, all men who put on watches are dressed up according to the purpose of the brand and its specification.
If it is a sports watch, then the brand icon is an athlete who is dressed up in his sports outfit, or if it is a royal and luxury watch, then the brand ambassador is a royal celebrity, dressed up all in suit and royal attire. Hence, it proves that outfit and wrist watch should complement each other.
