Trends to Watch: Jewellery Watches Recommendations
Accurist Jewellery Women’s | Mother Of Pearl Dial | Rose Gold PVD Steel Bracelet 78009
This beautiful jewellery watch, from Accurist, boasts premium quality without the luxury price tag. The dial is cut from a semi-precious mother-of-pearl stone, meaning the pattern is unique and exclusive to the wearer. Showcasing the stylish sophistication of the model, the dial only has hour and minute hands. A rose gold ion-plated stainless steel case and crystal-set bezel frame the dial, while a sapphire crystal glass protects it. The 28mm case houses the reliable quartz movement that powers the watch. Thanks to its curb chain design, the bracelet is what makes the watch stand out. As well as this, the bracelet’s interchangeable quick-release nature allows for the watch to be tailored to every occasion and personal style. The watch is water resistant up to 30 metres, so can withstand daily wear relatively well.
Thomas Sabo | Glam & Soul | Gold Tone Mesh Bracelet | Gemstone Dragonfly | WA0369-264-211-33
Thomas Sabo’s designs are one of a kind with a style that is created to make a statement, and this model is no exception. The mystical, dark green dial with the unique dragonfly design is undoubtedly the highlight of this timepiece. Colourful zirconia gemstones with different cuts complement the dial and add to the watch’s unique nature. To increase durability, the dial is protected by a mineral crystal with a sapphire coating. All Thomas Sabo watches feature the distinct brand name on the dial, however, on this timepiece, it is spread across the gold-toned stainless steel bezel. Both the 33mm gold case and gold Milanaise mesh bracelet are made of stainless steel. The bracelet features an embossed boho design and fastens with an adjustable slider clasp. As seen in Vogue, gem-studded jewellery pieces that tell the time are trending in 2024; this Thomas Sabo timepiece showcases that perfectly.
Nixon Confidante | Gold Dial | Two-Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet A1362-1921
More than what meets the eye, the Confidante is fine jewellery first and a precise timepiece second. The gold-tone sunray dial with gold-tone hour and minute hands hides beneath a polished butterfly clasp. This feature allows the wearer to choose whether they want a watch or bracelet on display. To ensure great durability, the dial is encased with a hardened mineral crystal. A solid stainless steel 3-link bracelet secures the watch to the wrist. Anti-ordinary, this clasp also protects the dial when it is not on display. A quartz movement powers the watch and it has a water resistance that makes it both practical and suitable for everyday wear. Paying homage to secret watches from the past, fine jewellery meets function. If you want to follow the trend of jewellery watches, but in a more unique way, then the Nixon Confidante is the model for you.

This Swarovski watch artfully combines form and function. The vibrant green dial is adorned with rose gold-tone baton indices and hands. In addition, the brand’s iconic swan logo replaces the 12 o’clock hour marker. Highlighting the unique design of this watch is a large rose gold-tone bezel set with over 1,300 crystals; it complements the 35.5mm rose gold-tone finished PVD case perfectly. Securing the watch to the wrist is an Italian calf leather strap. It matches the gorgeous green colour that is used for the dial. The Swiss quartz movement that powers the watch provides both accuracy and reliability. As well as this, the model is water resistant up to 50 metres; making it a great option for daily wear. Fun yet sophisticated, this jewellery watch elevates any look.
