5 watch trends to know for 2021

FT NEWS

From environmental sustainability to tremendous strides in technology – watches have undergone a great evolution to be more than just another accessory in one’s wardrobe. A signature watch is a symbol of self- expression and individualism.


1. Take the sustainable route

Advocating slow fashion and pro-planet initiatives is the need of the hour. Think solar watches that capture light and convert it into energy using a solar cell beneath the dial. This energy is then stored in a rechargeable battery that powers the movement of the watch. Once fully charged, these can run up to around four months at a stretch.


2. An icon in durability and movement

Mechanical movements are so in. Powered by the movement of the wearer’s wrist, you no longer have to worry about changing batteries. Vintage and timeless these timepieces can never go out of style and their complex components are a testament to the intricate craft of watch making.

3. Smartwatches are here to stay

The right smartwatch makes for a perfect digital companion. Amid other tech features, gain quick and easy access to notifications along with a range of health and wellness features (VO2 max, sleep and heart rate monitor etc.). Would it not only make your life easier but also keep a track of your health metrics, set new goals, and help you achieve them.


4. Watch out for ceramics

With summer officially upon us, watches in non-metallic materials that are easy on your wrist are a definite must have accessory. Perfect for someone with sensitive skin as well, these durable timepieces look great over the years without showcasing any signs of wearing off. Owing to their luxurious finishing, ceramic watches do not only feel great but also look the part.

5. Switch up your watch straps

Give an old watch a complete transformation for the better. Pick from silicone straps in an assortment of pop colours or go for eco-leather straps that reduce water and waste reductions in their making. If you prefer old-school styles, you can never go wrong with a stainless-steel mesh bracelet. New day, new outfit, and a new watch.
