Choosing the right watch for the occasion

One of the most difficult decisions to make, as you get closer to a party is ‘what do I wear?’ Sometimes, you ask your friends for help. Other times, your parents or siblings come to the rescue. But mostly, the question is asked to yourself, ‘what do I wear?’ Don’t worry, you are not alone and the question is actually a tough one.

Each occasion calls for a different attire and accessories that go with it. You cannot look underdressed for a marriage function. Neither can you look like you are in your sunset years for a bachelors’ party. But some like to keep a neutral tone [read minimalism] to their dressing and that is absolutely fine too. However, irrespective of whether you are the minimalist or the trendsetter or the most classy one in the room, you need a watch that goes with your style. The watch that defines you.

What defines you?

A watch clearly defines you, your taste and your individuality. For instance, a minimalist would not really go for a flashy, bright coloured watch. In all probability, it would be a simple watch such as the Tissot Carson Premium that comes with a silver dial and blue hands. The watch has easy interchangeable straps available that makes it a watch that meets most or all requirements. The roman letter indexes makes it a classic that is worth treasuring.

On the other hand, the ‘life of a party’ sort of a guy or girl would go for a watch that is more flamboyant. It won’t be just his or her dressing, but the watch shall also be talked about by the rest of the party. Black Color Series from Casio Sheen is one such watch for women. Both the dial and the strap are black making it a perfect accessory for any party wear. The dial has a multi edged surface completed in white stones that is sure to sparkle.

Both Tissot and Casio Series watches are available with Krishnan Nair & Sons, a trusted name amongst the watch dealers of Trivandrum. They have been in the business of watches and related services for many decades now. You can rely on Krishnan Nair & Sons to purchase authentic pieces of traditional watches for both men and women.

Picking up the staples

With the innumerous number of watches available in the market and at different price points, it could be quite daunting a task to pick up the right watch for the right occasion. However, if you are not the person who lives by ‘one watch fits all’ motto, then here are some essential watch types that all watch aficionados must have in their closet.

Dress Watch

A dress watch marries simplicity with class. It is your go to watch for a business meeting as well as a cocktail dinner. Because of its slim size, it can neatly be tucked below your shirt sleeve or your tuxedo as the occasion demands. It is best if you can pick up a dress watch that has a dash of gold as this could be the only accessory that you might be wearing irrespective of whether you are a man or a woman.

If the budget permits, The Centrix Series by Rado is all things a dress watch. The series mostly has automatic movement and is simple yet elegant. With watches for both men and women, it has all the radiance of a Rado making it a head turner for sure.

Chronograph

Another must have is a chronograph. A chronograph simply put is a classic watch that has a stopwatch in it. With this technological advancement in traditional watches, the accuracy of time keeping has improved drastically thus making it a favourite amongst deep sea divers, aviators and the common man alike. The Casio Edifice Series has a host of chronograph watches for both men and women.

The Edifice EFV-640D-1AV apart from having a stopwatch, has an accuracy of 1/10th of a second. It comes with a date display and also sports a stainless steel band. Casio has chronograph watches for women as well. Casio Sheen SHE-3516SG-7A combines the best of both worlds by having a combination of stainless steel and rose gold on its strap and dial. It houses 3 dials in it – one for date, the other for day and the third one keeps a tab on the 24 hour clock.

Most of these watches commonly have rechargeable batteries and can be connected to your phone and hence, the time will be perfect to the second.

It has the qualities of a traditional watch with the hours and minutes hand alongside a display that can be customised to your preference. The latest in the family, the Hybrid HR has a battery that lasts for weeks, a heart sensor and smart features such as the display of weather, text messages and phone calls.
