Crystal watches do not have to feel formal or overly ornate. When light is used as part of the structure, crystal can make a watch feel graphic, contemporary and surprisingly versatile.
Look for intention
Well-placed stones should reinforce the case, dial or bracelet rather than compete with every surface. A clear focal point lets the watch retain its shape.
Balance shine with simplicity
A dark dial, clean hands or polished metal can give crystal details room to breathe. This contrast is what allows a brilliant watch to work with a simple black dress, tailoring or denim.
