Perfectly combining high style with a cheeky, fun and quirky edge, a Marc by Marc Jacobs watch will add a striking finishing touch to your look and can be worn for every occasion.

There are some new Marc by Marc Jacobs watches added to the Shade Station collection and these are definitely a little more edgy in style whilst ticking all the boxes when it comes to trend appeal.

The watch has slightly extended function buttons on the crown section to add definition to the shape and with a sub dial chronograph and a date window, this watch perfectly fuses function with edgy inspired high-fashion.

MBM4538 Marc by Marc Jacobs Watch - BlackIf you prefer a watch that is lighter in tone and a little more glitzy, the new MBM2536 Marc by Marc Jacobs watch is ideal. With a rose gold plated case, the diamante embellished bezel provides the glamour factor and the rose gold studs positioned around the white polycarbonate strap definitely add a unique touch to this watch!

If you love the quirky element of Marc Jacob’s designs, the new MBM4533 watch with its diamante embellished red lips emblazoned across the dial should certainly appeal! As with the other new designs, this watch also features a trendy polycarbonate bracelet strap and makes the perfect showpiece accessory!

Superdry Watches

Every boy seems to hanker after the Superdry label. Pass a Superdry shop and it’s heaving with testosterone or walk along a busy high street and a high percentage of men you’ll pass will be featuring some Superdry logo on their person. The brand is distinctly urban, inherently hip and oh so masculine. As a UK label it combines cool British style, with Japanese and American influences and this combination can be seen across all their products, from casual wear to accessories and watches. Superdry have an international following and have recently opened in the States, and here in Britain our celebrites are often pictured wearing Superdry. Recent examples include David Beckham, and Jamie Oliver, who was spotted in Superdry’s new London store, One Change, this week. And it’s not just the boys – the girls are in on the act too including The Saturdays Mollie King and Frankie Sandford.

Superdry watches are just as popular as their clothing – with lots of people falling for their simple and occasionally retro designs, and the obvious quality that the label has become associated with. Although Superdry produce plenty of watches for female wearers, it is the men’s watches that really stand out. Fitting in perfectly with the casual ethos of the brand, the men’s Superdry watches look solid, tough and very stylish. These are not necessarily watches to wear to the office or with a suit, they are for everyday informal wear and compliment jeans perfectly.

Superdry are such a cool and credible brand right now and this only looks to increase as more and more people discover the Superdry magic. So if you’re still short on ideas for a Christmas present for your other half, brother or dad, check out Superdry watches for some inspiration!
