Bench Watches – A Great British Brand
The Bench brand was founded back in 1989 in the UK and began as a small underground menswear brand which manufactured t-shirts geared towards the BMX and skate boarding scenes. As a larger number of people caught onto the cool style, Bench extended its product lines to a wider selection of products including clothing and accessories. Today Bench is renowned as a funky, comfortable and multifunctional British lifestyle brand with a street and urban edge.
Bench is also synonymous with the UK music scene. In the 1990’s whereby Brit Pop was the main music genre dominating the charts, iconic bands such as Oasis and Blur were often seen wearing Bench clothing which certainly helped to raise the credibility of Bench and increase its overall profile. Despite maintaining a strong British theme, Bench is now popular across the world and is liked due to its fashionable look, street style and vibrant designs.
Like the range of clothing, Bench watches are similar in terms of theme and style. Each watch makes the ideal accessory which is versatile enough to transcend from day to night. Bench watches maintain a simultaneous balance between great fashion and str
eet style. The collection of female Bench watches includes timepieces with both leather and stainless steel straps and despite the urban and edgy vibe, includes some beautiful feminine and girly styles – the BC0237BKBK Bench watch for example is sleek and slim but the black strap and dial injects a funky edge to the watch. The subtle pink minute hand also keeps the watch feminine. Bench is also renowned for displaying the bold lettering logo on its clothing and the same is applied to the design of the watches – the BC0245SLBK Bench watch for example is a funky men’s style which has a wide leather strap and large square dial and the Bench lettering logo is boldly displayed vertically down the right hand side. Many Bench watches incorporate the wide strap trend and feature prominent dials – the BC0116BK Bench watch also has the added feature of silver sliders on the design to add an extra edge to this ladies watch. The various models for men and women include a combination of cool and effortlessly casual styles right through to smart and chic. Keeping to its original theme and inspiration, Bench watches are very reflective of street and skate style but maintain high trend appeal.
Bench is a brand which is always seen out and about at cool events and uses this is a way to showcase new products and keep the image prominent around its target audience. This summer Bench went to Ibiza and collaborated with both Ibiza Rocks whereby the popular band the MGMT’s set ended the event. Last month, Bench was also associated with the Shakedown project which has been established since 1994 and aims to show case the talent of local and nationwide graffiti artists and writers to the general public.
Bench watches are a great way of injecting a funky and street edge to your look; even if that isn’t something you tend to go for in your overall style. Each watch is made using high quality methods and are functional, reliable and comfortable. With prices ranging from between £25.50 and £60 they are also exceptionally good value for money. As a brand, Bench is regarded as extremely cool and funky and the ranges of Bench watches are the perfect way of expressing that true British style.

Bench Watches-Bench Gets Out and About this Summer!
The brand Bench launched in the classic Brit Pop era of the mid 1990’s and focuses on cool and funky skateboarding and BMX riding clothing and accessories. Bench watches have an underground look with a distinctively unique and stylish edge. Some of the female watches are a great way to accessorise your look with a stamp of street fashion, yet are still feminine and girly.
A new addition to the Bench female watch range includes the white leather BC0239SLWHS timepiece with three hand movement and a white face and silver dial. This is indeed a simple watch but very visual, versatile and perfect for a rock chick edge! This same model is also available in black.
As a brand, Bench is always getting out and about and associating itself with high profile events. This summer, Bench has collaborated with both Ibiza Rocks as the official Streetwear partner and also with Ibiza’s notoriously trendy Cafe Mambo to produce a collection of limited edition items. This is a relationship which Cafe Mambo and Bench are 
set to continue on a long term basis and will likely enable Bench to reach out to a whole new market.
Bench also recently travelled a little closer to home to Liverpool to meet the cast members of the hit soaps Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and allow them to see a sneek preview of the brand’s new summer range. Needless to say, the products seemed very popular and I’m sure the new range of Bench watches will soon be seen adorning the arms of some of the cast members!
Bench watches are also extremely budget friendly and with prices varying between £20 and £55, they are definitely a great purchase which hopefully won’t break the bank! A great look for late summer and some perfect styles ready to head into autumn.
