Best Of Both Worlds: Bi-Metal Watches For Him And Her
It's the era of mixed metals and we're just living in it...
With mixed metals becoming one of the most popular trends in accessories lately, it's safe to say, that a new dawn of steel and gold is upon us. And the signs are stronger than ever—two-tone timepieces are experiencing a comeback.
The glamour of a gold timepiece peppered with the contemporary energy of steel is what makes this style stand out. While it's trending now, the trend has been around for a while. It was prominent in the world of horology in the 1970s and 1980s and, this time around it is less ostentatious and caters more to those who are looking for modern, stylish heirlooms.
However, as history tells us watches that combine different metals have been around for a while and have always elicited strong reactions from collectors. The term 'two-tone' generally refers to a steel-cased watch with a crown and bezel made of yellow or rose gold. If the watch has a bracelet, you can also expect the centre links to be gold. Collectors have coined these types of watches as 'TT' in short.
Presenting a curation of bi-metal timepieces that are equal parts distinctive and versatile. You may say, it’s dated or we are indecisive—but we’d say we have the best of both worlds.
