Dress Up with Dress Watches
Dunhill Faceted LTMV
The Dunhill Faceted watch is a great introductory timepiece for a new collector. Brought to you by Alfred Dunhill, a luxury menswear and accessories brand, this watch pays homage to the art deco era. Both the rectangular case and curved crystal are reminiscent of this era. With over 100 years or horological experience, Dunhill watches are made to last. This 40mm, stainless steel case, fits perfectly on the wrist under your tux. Price: $950.
Michele Art Deco Diamond MW06T01A1979
This signature Art Deco Diamond by Michele watches also pays special attention to the design aspects found in the roaring twenties. This blinged-out diamond bezel and dial feature the rectangular shape that was popular in the 1920s paired with the chevron pattern favored in many building decorations. This woman’s watch pairs perfectly with the formal gown this fall. Price: $1,750.
Bell & Ross BR01 Turn Coordinator BR0192-TURNCOOR
This Bell & Ross BR01 isn’t your typical dress watch due to its oversized, 46mm, square face. However, the matte black PVD case and black dial dress this watch up while the plain dial add some character and a story. The BR01 is reminiscent of the cockpit of an airplane. The turn coordinator in an airplane tells you how level the plane is. The center disc spinning continuously is the seconds disc, the middle disc is the minutes and the outer is the hour. This aviation inspired piece is limited to only 999. Price: $2,950.
Nomos Glashutte Ahoi 550
The Ahoi is built by German watch manufacturing company, Nomos Glashutte. This 40mm stainless steel case has a sub seconds dial at 6 o’clock and a large exhibition case back to see the movement. The light blue and red accents give the dial an added layer of detailing. This modern dress watch comes on a woven strap that looks great at formal events. The Ahoi model pairs watersports, holiday, career and dress styles all together into one. Price: $2,950.
Zenith Heritage Ultra Thin 03.2010.650/38.C493
The Heritage Ultra Thin is not only one of the thinnest watches, at 7mm thick, but it is also one of the most simple dress watches. The sub seconds dial at 9 o’clock is barely visible at first glance and the thin index hour markers are long and slender to open up the dial even more. This very thin watch also features an exhibition case back, which is unusual in thin watches as they are trying to preserve thickness. In a true dress watch fashion, this watch is manually wound. Price: $3,200.
Rolex Cellini Danaos 4243/9BIC
The Cellini Danaos is a classic dress watch brought to you by Rolex. This watch features only hours and minutes on a crisp black dial that is accentuated by rose gold indexes. This version, in a combination of white gold and rose gold, is slightly larger than other Cellini Danaos models. This manual wind watch is an extremely elegant model built with precision and accuracy found in other Rolex watches. Price: $6,500.
Patek Philippe Ellipse 3545J
The small, yet elegant Ellipse 3545J is a small, manual wind dress watch. Again, in true dress watch fashion, this watch features only an hour and minute hand. The 18k yellow gold case surrounds a silver Cartier dial on a woven 18k gold bracelet. This thin dress watch is perfect for the holidays and features a solid case back that is able to be engraved. Price: $7,200.
Hermes Arceau AR8670220M/HA
The Arceau by Hermes was inspired by the characteristic elegance of horses. This classical watch has only hour and minute hands on a silver dial. The strap is meant to reference the stirrups on a saddle, especially noticeable at the end of the buckle. This model was originally designed in 1978 and it’s slanting numerals are one of its many trademarks. Price: $8,450.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grand Ultra Thin Q1352522
The Master Grand Ultra Thin is an exquisitely thin dress watch. The hour and minute hand are gently sloped to give definition to the simple dress dial. Only 12,3,6 and 9 grace the front of the dial to keep it simple. The exhibition case back shows off the beautiful hand finished movement. The 40mm size of this watch means that is is comfortable to wear, and will also not weigh down your wrist. Price: $10,250.
