black is the new black

Reviving (and finishing up) an old post (early 2008) previously stuck in draft mode...

Watches for men tend to be conservative in design and shade. This is especially so for office wear. The typical watch for looks like this.

The other common style would the above dial, but with a black leather strap. It's not very popular in Singapore, as our humid environment make it hard to maintain leather straps.

I've previously written about my favorite style, so I won't repeat it here.

What I wanted to highlight is the Black IP type of watch. 2 examples of this style below.

Espirit male attraction black


Casio Edifice EF-311BK-1AV

What do i like about this style? I like the colour and the contrast. First, instead of the typical metallic-silver colour, you get black, which is still safe enough a colour for work. Touches of colour (green or red above) make the watch stand out from the crowd too. Contrast? By that, I mean the reduction of contrast, something I mentioned previously. Black metal strap, black rim, black watch face...

What about what I'm currently wearing? I'm wearing my brother's Casio sports watch. Pathetic right? Time for some shopping?
