Watch Hunt

I've been searching for the perfect big watch for a long time now. It's tricky because I have very small wrists so it really does have to be exactly right to save from looking ridiculous.

Of course if I could have anything I want in the world, I would get the Chanel J12, but since that's not possible...



I considered Toywatch for a while (and still am). Their use of plastic and enamel is definitely reminiscent of the J12, but I can't quite get myself to commit to one.











I also kind of like the Michael Kors watch collection. He has some great oversize watches, and I even like some from the men's collection.












Recently I saw some Swiss Army watches and thought they looked nice - kind of a mix between Rolex and Cartier, but slightly more durable looking.







In the meantime, I've just been wearing an old black plastic Swatch that I found in my mom's jewelry drawer. My first watch was a Swatch, and I just kind of love their quirky details and styling. Then, when I was shopping in Brooklyn the other day, a saleswoman was wearing a nice black watch. When I complimented her on it, she said it was a Swatch she'd just bought. Hmm... maybe I should get a Swatch?

*(yes, I am fully aware it's Fashion Week. However, because I'm totally bummed that I live a mere hour from New York and have yet to gain access inside the tents, I'm not going to be reporting on the collections for now. Especially because much more informed and well-connected Fashionistas have it covered.)
