I love watches. I had some small, big, designed for men, with leather straps, steel
straps, rubber straps, … Some women need a statement collar for a perfect look,
for me, a simple watch makes all the difference! After a lot of experiment, I
think I finally have found a piece that suits me, a classic watch, with leather
strap, that will goes with any outfit and that I will wear for years and years.
During my
research, I had some requirements. I wanted a leather strap that would age
well, and not crack after three months. I wanted a refined dial, simple and
original at the same time. Last but not least, I wanted it to go under the water.
Because it might be nice to have a beautiful watch, but one day, if I want to
take a shower and I forget to remove it, I wish it would survive the journey… I
know it will happen one day, even if I take care to remove it each time, I know
that I might forget… Unfortunately, most leather watches don’t go under the
water and just stand the rain… I needed a 5ATM watch that would supports
immersion!
After
spending a lot of hours on the internet, I found my wrist soulmate: the
gorgeous Kensington Leather watch from NIXON. The leather strap is neither too
thin nor too wide, and for the moment I do not see any sign of damage on the
leather (I have it for one month only but I wear it every single day). The dial
is very clean, without any number, exactly what I was looking for, and the
golden color makes it a statement piece of my look. This is not just a watch,
it’s a real jewel!
I do not
regret my choice at all (I chose the Gold model) and I’ll probably offer myself
the Rose Gold/White one for my birthday!
