A true men’s fashion accessory to withstand the tests of time (no pun intended). Authoritative watches are sure to always make a statement. From high-class business dinners to running tracks with the guys, it is incredibly easy to tailor a watch in order to suit anyone’s functionality needs, color choice, wrist preference and fashion.
One of the most popular colors other than green making a splash out there in the timepiece world is blue. Nothing beats a sharp, crisp blue dial that accentuates each numeral and ties in together the whole watch color scheme.
Pioneer Watch by Bang & Olufsen Designer
Jakob Wagner is no newcomer to the world of watch design, nor is he a new convert to the concept of subdued elegance. His career has already included a MoMa exhibition and a few highly-successful designs for Danish icons Bang & Olufsen. Now, he has taken a wild leap with the Pioneer: an affordable, high-quality watch that offers exactly what the clients are looking for, but can never put together.
No wonder this was the most successful Kickstarter launch ever in the Accessories category. The clean and sleek dial minimizes numbers and uses a low stamped relief for the chronometer, calendar, and seconds dial. The combination of black leather and classic navy blue offer a timeless contrast that will effortlessly blend with blue jeans and suits alike.
In addition, true to Jakob Wagner’s quintessentially Danish spirit, this watch has been fully built using sustainable technology and ethically-sourced materials. The straps are interchangeable, and all mechanisms are rain-resistant. The movement is kept precise and steady thanks to a combination of Japanese Quartz and a 316L Stainless Steel case.
