Arghh! It's already been 2 weeks! Time flies when all you do is work. I can tell you I'm certainly looking forward to going back to University at the end of this month.
Speaking of time, this post is about my watch wish list. I have never really owned a watch which I find odd since I hate not knowing the time. Seriously, there have been times I tried to make some form of a sundial with a stick in the ground to know around about what time it was.
I generally rely on my phone to know what time it is and so do a lot of people. But when you don't have your phone the first people you turn to to see if they know the time is a person wearing a watch. There is something so elegant about a watch. The people who wear them seem to be those not so enveloped by modern technology.
The Horse
The Australian brand The Horse is created by Scott and Amy who mainly focus on creating the perfect leather shoe. But the Sydney couple also use their craftsmanship to create beautiful timeless watches which are so popular that every single design on their website is sold out at the moment.

This Matte black & Tan leather watch is a minimalists best friend. A simple watch that will go with anything. Male or female, it would suit both. I am considering buying this watch for my Brother's 18th Birthday this year when I comes back into stock.
Be Optimistic And Thankful creates watches from sealed wax. The wax is melted, dripped onto the dial and stamped to create the pattern of the face - similar to how letters were once sealed. You are given all the options under the sun when purchasing one of these babies. You can choose a number of different colours of the case, face, hands and strap to make your watch as unique as you are.

You can choose an original face or a number face. The Number face reminds me of the Tic Toc biscuits I used to eat as a kid. The design, also being quite simple uses the colour to make a statement. They are the perfect watch to add a pop of character to an outfit while still remaining classy.
The watch of all watches. Daniel Wellington was named after an English man who was gentlemanly but still relax and unpretentious but most of all, had impeccable style. The brand itself intrigues me. Can you imagine meeting a man halfway round the world that would have so much of an impact on you, that you would spend your life creating a brand in his name?
The thing I love about these watches is that the face is huge! The strap is always simple and a bit quirky and seems a bit mismatched. If you didn't see one you would think it would look ridiculous. But It looks surprisingly sophisticated. They are very 'business in the front, party in the back' and thats what makes them unique.
