Two tone watches have been slowly gaining traction again. The once power symbol of the ’80s is circling back around with the icons, of course, but this time around many boast new movements, case sizes, and styles altogether. The usually silver and gold watches are almost always a bracelet watch meaning: an all metal rather than a leather or fabric band. The two give a stark but balanced contrast. Using more than one alloy in a watch isn’t new—yes it was popular forty-some years ago, but the style has been in production since the ’30s. Still, similarly to silver jewelry wiggling its way back into the style zeitgeist, two tone watches feel fresh, modern, and right for the times.
Vogue’s Favorite Two-Tone Watches
At any watch appointment or watch conference in the past twelve months, the two-tone iterations have jumped out at me in a way that an all gold or all silver would usually. (I still hold a candle for those as well, let’s be honest). I haven’t been able to put my finger on why, and if it’s more than just an appreciation for the classics that the heavy-hitters have done for years and honed into so well of late.
