There is certainly a space for nostalgia when it comes to what’s hot in the world of horology. While reissues and timepieces that pay homage to retro styles have been on-trend in recent years there are new trends that are beginning to emerge. Looks that are leaning toward more modern and experimental designs are starting to turn heads; which provides the perfect opportunity to update your timepiece collection and add a hot new item to your cache.
What’s Hot?
- Fresh, bold colors
- Contemporary, fashion-oriented
- Leveraging new materials
We love an excuse to add a pop of unexpected color into our wardrobe and accessories- and a high-end timepiece is an elegant way to do it. From a crisp ceramic white timepiece to bold, colorful faces, introducing surprising moments of vibrancy gives a more modern look, indeed. Look for brands like IWC or Rolex to give you that color injection you desire.
The neo-vintage look isn’t going anywhere. However, there is definitely a shift towards more contemporary, fashion-first looks. Think “luxury sports watch” when you think of this movement. Things such as integrated bracelets and exposed screws help to elevate the aesthetic to a more modern feel—and brands are certainly interpreting it in a way that aligns with their zeitgeist. Audemars Piguet captures the essence of the “luxury sports watch” look and will be sure to turn heads while you wear it.
When we think of high-end timepieces and the materials they are made with, typically gold, silver, and stainless steel come to mind. However, lately, there has been an increase in the trend of horology houses using titanium. While titanium is not a new material in the watch world, it appears to be gaining in popularity with more brands getting into it. With rumors that Patek Philippe’s next generation of the Nautilus is going to be titanium, and A. Lange & Sohne producing a titanium timepiece, we can see this trend continuing with more brands to follow.
