Style Watch: 5 Reasons to Wear a Watch Necklace

Watches have a rich history. From pocket piece heirlooms to status symbol wrist watches, the early ‘oughts even had a moment with ring watches. There is something about watches that continues to inspire designers to return to these timeless time keepers.

1. Not one to wear a wrist watch? If arm-parties aren’t your thing then break free from the standardized banded watch in favor of a piece you can sling around your neck. Layer on a simple watch with your other chain necklaces or pick a style that can stand on it’s own.
2. Stop wasting precious minutes digging through your purse to check the time when you wear it around your neck. Slip a dainty watch and chain under a button down shirt for when you want to wear it incognito or pair it with a white tee, jeans and a blazer for a feminine twist on borrowed-from-the-boys style.
3. Chunky jeweled chains have gone from bold to blasé. For a necklace that really makes a statement, try one that tells time. This unique take on a timepiece gives it unexpected charm. Choose one that is colorful and quirky while pumping up a dull solid tee and pencil pants. Bring it back to its sophisticated roots when you wear it with heels.
4. Wearable tech isn’t all about sci-fi accessories that buzz, beep and light up. It’s reimagining  what our everyday garments can do for us on a practical scale. Not exactly a Hussein Chalayan “Remote Control” dress, a necklace watch makes wearable tech, well, more wearable.
5. A watch necklace isn’t a common piece of jewelry, but its idiosyncratic style makes its standout. For a necklace that will be as perennial as the traditional pieces that came before it, but remain a surprisingly unique necklace in your jewelry box, then pick one that is simple and sophisticated in precious metal.

Consider a necklace that can do double-time when you choose a watch necklace that is functional and fashionable. Make this surprising piece your secret style weapon in your arsenal of accessories.

Be fashionable, but never late with a watch necklace.
