Time is of the essence

MULTIPLE CHOICE - Luis Espiritu Jr. -

When the first watch was created in 1500, it was the beginning of a technical innovation that today has transformed into a mark of luxe. The evolution of timepieces became essential during the Age of Decoration in 1600, the period when watchmakers invented ways of putting style into time and watches were transformed into jewelry pieces and as ornaments of adoration. Later on, the English, French and Swiss took time forward by using the finest and precious metals that led to the birth of luxury watch industries. This started the tickling of A-List brands. Today, the fashioning of watches has moved on from its aesthetic to the vast arena of both form and function.

The allure of time through centuries has evolved into chic innovative timepieces in modern numerals, mod face and form, and practical contemporary materials that is the fashion in trendy watches today. Time after time, the dazzling world of style welcomes a new name to its chic threshold into the hallways of what’s now and what’s to come. There is a fashion buzz among global style citizens that has finally arrived in Manila. Unveiling effortlessly with the season’s finest is the fab and trendy timepiece Toywatch.

Breaking from the mold and inspired by high designed classic timepieces, Toywatch, an acrylic wonder fashioned from plastic, is affordable, lightweight and up-to-date in style. The innovative and unconventional approach of combining classic dial design and avant-garde see-through plastic strap has taken a step further in the world of creating watches. It was an idea taken from an old concept by its creator, Italian designer Marco Mavilla. 

In 2006, the designer’s forward approach in creating this masterpiece began by using modern resources in reinventing the old into something new. The must-have toy has a stainless-steel bezel, Citizen movement, acrylic or nylon straps and a bold face that steps out from the ordinary. With over 60 different models and colour combinations, the incredibly brilliant piece is the new shape of style and function to watch out for. The cult brand is moving with the times under the philosophy of creating affordable luxury by initiating good product and design at an affordable price. The new look, trend, the face and design in wristwatches are luxury reborn. Surviving in style under the conventions of smart dressing, this ultimate accessory of the season is the perfect element for the modern dress code to complement all occasions.  Its character and versatility suit today’s individualistic lifestyle as it offers a variety of style for everyone.

Toywatch has taken the spotlight as style’s most wanted. The current timely statement is fashion and Hollywood’s current object of desire. The A-list and famous celebrities seen sporting the chic watch include Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, Kiera Knightley, Uma Thurman, Michael Jordan, Charlize Theron, Sienna Miller, Katie Holmes, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Naomi Campbell, Aaron Eckhart, Ashley Simpson, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Mark Wahlberg, Owen Wilson and Al Gore.

Time is a style essential and is spectacularly evolving. The future of fashioning watches is a creative expression of the sign of the times.  Daring designs and modern aesthetics are shaping the future of its face value. As minutes, hours or days pass by, time will always be of the essence. And global fashion is always watching.
