Have you ever been tempted by this new, particularly trendy fashion in 2021?Here are some tips not to be overlooked to choose your male watch, but also the most popular brands.
Why do women opt for men's watches?
For some time, in the fashion sector, the border that has existed between the feminine and the masculine has been increasingly tended to fade.However, this change in the consumption habits of women is not surprising when we know that for many years already, they have been adopting more and more accessories and clothes originally reserved for men.It is therefore quite natural that this freedom also acquired on a professional level was also quickly noted in terms of their dress style.
They then started by freely sporting pants, blazers, derbies (to name a few)).If this trend has taken a little time before expanding accessories, it is now very present, especially in the field of watch industry.This is one of the fashion trends of 2021.The received ideas according to which the imposing sizes of the male models were unsuitable for the wrists of women were therefore gradually put aside.
In addition, it must be recognized that if women like to have charming and elegant bijoux watches, in fact, they prefer models much more imposing on a daily basis.This is also what partly justifies this craze that they have for the purchase and wearing of male watches.In addition, the models that exist for women in terms of watches are generally more limited than those of their male counterparts.
Which pushes more than one to fall back on male ranges and find their happiness.In addition, it should be noted that the history of men's watches dates back a certain time now.They therefore have a long and particularly rich story, which is not necessarily the case with female models.However, this is a dimension which is considered very important these days in the choice of a watch.
Tendencies
Mixity is on the rise in the field of fashion.This trend is also followed by the watchmaking industry which is increasingly offering mixed models for both feminine and male audiences.For many women defending this way of life who do not hesitate to proudly wear a mixed class watch on the wrist, the purchase of this accessory should not be primarily conditioned by the gender question.They indeed recommend choices that only take into account the style and tastes of the interested parties.
Rather than falling back only on male models, women do not hesitate to adopt more and more female watches with a unisex design.You will rarely see glitter, bright colors or too girly drawings.The emphasis is generally placed on sobriety, more basic colors and wiser ornaments.In addition, it should also be emphasized that the trend is more and more vintage.Women are indeed more attracted by watches of this type, because in addition to being in essence considered as unisex, they also have the advantage of being a little smaller than the exclusively male models.
DE PLU, if it was in the past you have the impression that the watch industry did not give very great importance to the quartz mechanisms of their models for women, the trend is no longer the same.Nowadays, potential customers do not hesitate to opt for watches motorized by precision mechanics.
What do men watches look like by women look like?
There are generally certain characteristics common to the design of men's watches that women are used to carrying.At the bracelet level for example, we can see that it is generally thicker than that of models only reserved for women.Regarding the size of the wrists, it is also a little larger than that of exclusively feminine watches.At this level, the emphasis is much more on those which are wide enough to be comfortable, without risks that they do not fall.In order to best frame with this need, diameters are often limited to 40 or 41 cm at most.Which is ideal for all wrists.As for the dial, its shape generally varies between the circle and the square.

Arnold & Son
Basée en Suisse, Arnold & Son est une entreprise horlogère qui a été créée en 1764 par John Arnold.If it is known for the quality and precision of its watches, it is above all its policy which consists in developing for each model, its own movement which brings it out.

You sleep
Founded in 1926 by the creator of the Rolex brand, You sleep is a company that aims for the design and marketing of qualitative watches at slightly more accessible costs.An initiative that was favorably welcomed by the public when we realize the success of his first watches on the market: the You sleep Oyster.Resistant, elegant and endowed with the latest technologies, they quickly found their place in the daily life of men looking for quality accessories to perfect their style.
However, among the male models that are very successful with the fairer sex, we have in particular the You sleep Black Bay.Designed in a retro style for diving (waterproof up to 200 m)) and with a 70 -hour power reserve, this collection appeared for the first time in 2012.Since then, she has not stopped improving over the years.Even if female versions exist, it is clear that women generally tend to obtain this model without taking this distinction made into account at the level of genres.It must be said that with regard to design, there are no very big differences between the two.

How to choose your watch right?
Before you get your watch, you must take into account certain aspects.
Take into account the movement
You will generally have the choice between two types of movements.Those with quartz are undoubtedly those who are most popular.It must be said that their operating mode is rather simple, since it depends on batteries.You then have mechanical watches, considered to be the most efficient and operating without batteries.Here, everything is based on a reassembly system that can be manual or automatic.
Base yourself on bracelet material
The material used for the bracelet will be decisive in the style and comfort of your watch.Considered the symbol par excellence of mixed models, steel is a material that can be interesting to adopt.Next to it, you also have the rubber which is very popular for its practical, resistant and comfortable side.In addition, it has the advantage of giving you a sporty look.If you prefer chic and timeless models, leather can then be a great option.
Do not neglect waterproofing
Even if it is unlikely that you plan to reach a depth of 1000 m by diving with your watch, the waterproofing is still an appearance that you should not neglect.This data will allow you in particular to know if you should keep or remove your watch when you need to make some simple everyday gestures such as dishes, wash your hands or take a bath.The ideal remains to opt for a waterproof model at least 50 meters (5 ATM)).
Pay attention to the size
For the choice of your watch, avoid falling into the trap of the slightly too large models which could very quickly be uncomfortable and unsightly.Fortunately on mixed models, the clasp is often adjustable to allow men and women to adapt the size of the wrist to the wrist.In all cases, avoid those with horns that exceed wrist and are not very aesthetic.
Think of options and features
In terms of options, many possibilities are available to you.You just need to opt for those that fit the most with your needs.Among the most classic features that are offered, you have for example the date display, a countdown, alarm clock, an alarm, a stopwatch, etc..On connected watches, the features are much more extensive (monitoring of physical activity, pulse measurement, weather, call management, agenda, notifications, etc..)).
