5 Timepiece Trends to Invest in for the Holiday Season

Post by PinkDiamond »

Ooooohh, our watch aficionados will surely love this one! I agree with them that these watches will fly off the shelves this holiday season, and there are quite a few of them for your viewing pleasure. The rainbow pair in the first pic are great, but the Rolex is my favorite, and I took you as far as my second favorite, the Mont Blanc, so use the link to see the others. Enjoy! 8-)

5 Timepiece Trends to Invest in for the Holiday Season
Barbara Palumbo September 7, 2021

"Jewelry fads get more attention—but the high-end watch world also sees trends come and go, albeit at a slower pace. And with social media platforms offering more watch content than ever, trends in the watch world are easier than ever to identify (and buy for).

Below are five current timepiece trends we’re betting will be in demand this holiday season and into 2022.

Taste the Rainbow

Back in 2012, Rolex released their popular Daytona timepiece with bezels crafted with rainbow-colored sapphires. It kick-started a rainbow trend that was slow moving at first, but then rapidly gained traction: manufacturers such as Hublot, Jacob & Co., Chopard, and Corum have all added rainbow-hued watches (using colored gemstones) to their collections. The trend is still going strong, but makers are getting more creative. Breitling, to cite one example, introduced an iteration of its Superocean Heritage timepiece with a white dial and bezel featuring enameled rainbow-colored indices.

Everything Old is New Again

Retro watches are so popular, they might just transcend the “trend” tag. Still, although it’s hard to remember now, a vintage watch in wearable condition used to be something one could find (if one looked hard enough) at an estate sale, an antique store, a pawn shop, or even at the Goodwill. Today, vintage watches are their own lucrative category, raking in billions annually. Online sellers are growing, as are pedigreed players including Wind Vintage—founded by Eric Wind, former VP of Watches at Christie’s New York.

Blue/Steel

No, we’re not talking about Derek Zoolander’s iconic look, but rather the trend of stainless-steel sport-style watches with blue dials. Some have integrated bracelets. Others do not. Some are chronographs. Many aren’t. But even though brands have been increasingly producing more watches with more vividly colored dials (green is also up-and-coming), there’s still huge demand for blue/steel, popular with spiky haired supermodels and many others.
