Art for Art’s Sake<br />
For centuries, the humble timepiece has been a<br />
canvas for a variety of traditional arts – miniature<br />
painting, enamel, lacquer, marquetry, engraving,<br />
mosaic – and more. For almost a century these<br />
very particular watchmaking crafts almost became<br />
extinct as they lost popularity. Thankfully,<br />
now these arts are back in force, as several key<br />
companies have made it a point to keep the arts,<br />
and the artisans, from fading into extinction.<br />

Dressy and Elegant<br />
Even though most summer events are casual, there are still<br />
opportunities to dress up and for that you need an elegant,<br />
dress watch. Luckily, there are plenty of beautiful new<br />
timepieces from which to choose.<br />

Summer is a time to experiment with different watches, different looks. Where you<br />
might want a more sober timepiece for the winter, in the summer you can take a chance on something<br />
that expresses a different side of your personality – a dive watch, a cool color, a daring design<br />
or a simply elegant statement. Have fun – after all, that’s what summer is all about – it’s time!
