Different Types of Ladies Watches

March 9, 2010 | By andrew In jewelry |
Before wrist watches were invented, ladies would wear their watches around their necks as pendants. They would wear different types of pendants such as the pocket watch. Women would hide them in their waist bands or inside the dress seams at the skirt. Sometimes they wore watches as pins or brooches, or as earrings, and sometimes even as rings.

Now, ladies watches change with today’s newer styles and fashions. They may change every single year, which can make it stressful for women to have one watch and wear it all the time. Still, it is good to have a collection of sorts. To do that, you must have watches from the three categories: sports, dress and jewelry. It is possible to buy all three from one company, but a good collection will contain watches from many different brands.

Sports Sports watches are for active women. There is no limit to how extremity your activity can be. Whether it is high-adrenaline like rock climbing or cliff diving, or conventional like running or Pilates, a sports watch is for you. A high-performance waterproof watch with preferably a stopwatch is ideal. Sports models are made of leather, rubber, steel, or titanium and also have sleeker, thinner straps.

Dress Dress watches are the second category to consider. Dressy watches are for any woman, and are the epitome of elegance. As long as your timepiece has no Velcro, rubber straps, over-sized parts, or huge markings qualifies it for this category. These watches can be used in formal events or casual occasions.

Jewelry Finally, we have bejeweled watches. These are watches that took a long time to be created. They are embellished with stones and precious gems, and are matched according to color and clarity before being set in the watch.

This history of ladies watches is very interesting because they have evolved so much over time from pendants to pocket watches to the small pieces we have today. Always remember to choose a watch that you?re comfortable with and if you’re forced to pick only one watch, make sure it is a “crossover” — one which crosses over between the three categories above.
