Perfect timing - spotlight on men's timepieces

"He was a man of untidy habits - very untidy and careless. He was left with good prospects, but he threw away his chances, lived for some time in poverty with occasional short intervals of prosperity, and finally, taking to drink, he died" - so deduces Sherlock Holmes just from a man's watch in the story The Sign of Four.

While (thankfully) we don't expect to have our watches scrutinized to such a level, our choice of timepiece is still undeniably important. Whether you're dressing for the office, an interview / meeting or a night out, your wrist wear is an important part of any outfit.

Simon Carter originally started in the 1980's by launching a range of accessories, including cufflinks, luggage and watches, which were received with universal acclaim. Today their timepieces still push the boundaries to create cutting-edge designs for the discerning man. Whether you're looking for a discreet and restrained accessory for work or a more bold and artistic design to make a statement, his unique collection of watches is sure to offer an affordable yet impressive design.

Many of the previews we've had of the latest upcoming ranges for designer watches this year have focused on colour, using bold contrast primary colours to make a statement and add a dash of inspiration to any outfit. In particular, O Clock's designs - with their distinctive bracelet-style silicon wristbands and interchangeable coloured faces - are a stylish new way to add a distinctive and individual touch to your wrist.
