LTD Watches-Introducing the New Steel Collection
LTD Watches-Introducing the new steel collection.
It’s hard to believe that LTD Watches were only launched in 2009 as the buzz surrounding them has definitely been quite phenomenal, and the watches have been seen on the likes of The Saturdays, JLS, Dizzee Rascal and Jameela Jamil to name only a few.
Colour popping, sleek and cool, what is unique about the LTD Watch brand is that each watch is strictly limited to approximately 100-150 models and therefore, if you like a style you need to get in quick before it goes! Luckily for our bank balances though, LTD Watches have also become so popular because they are budget friendly with average prices ranging from around £45 – £170 (though you can find some sneaky LTD Watches on sale if you check out the LTD Watch page!).
The brand is constantly evolving and launching new collections throughout the year and the new designs for autumn are incredibly chic and can be described as ultra sophisticated in style which is perfect to suit the tone of the autumn and winter fashion trends.
We are very much used to vibrantly coloured LTD watches in tones such as yellow, green and purple to name only a few, but the new LTD Watch 280301 design which is a part of the new Steel collection, moves away from bold colour and features a gold plated stainless steel case and bracelet strap which instantly injects a chic finish to the watch and makes it h
ighly on-trend with retro inspired gold watches a must have accessory for this season. This design was also featured in the October issue of Artrocker. If gold isn’t your thing, you can opt for a silver version in the same style.
Keeping the coloured theme alive and prominent however (it is the LTD Watch trademark feature after all!), the new LTD Watch 091001 embodies the fun essence of colour with a pink polycarbonate bracelet strap and also features a silver bezel with ridged grooves which adds a dynamic combination of colour and texture and still provides that sophisticated finish. Adding a bold splash of colour can really liven up those muted tones that we’ll be seeing in autumn/winter so this watch makes for the ideal statement accessory. Other colour options are also available in this design.
LTD Watches are very active on the celebrity circuit and in the music industry and the Maximo LTD watch was even featured in the ‘Booty Call’ video by The Midnight Beast. LTD Watches are most definitely the hot watches to be seen wearing and remember, they are limited so make sure you get yours quick!
The Hot New Maximo Style By LTD Watches
LTD Watches – Hot on The Style Scene
If you like your style to be colourful, vibrant, unique and stylish then LTD Watches are the perfect option to compliment your look for summer 2010! LTD Watches is the brand that literally burst onto the fashion scene in 2009 and is already a favourite among numerous celebs including Calvin Harris, Jordan Thomas, The Saturdays and Dizzee Rascal.
Each LTD watch is strictly limited to just 150 models which is partly why the brand is so popular and sought after (despite the accessible price tags!). But you have to be quick – once they’re gone, they’re gone which is why we’re here to let you know about the hot new styles just in and allow you to get your hands on them asap ready for summer!
LTD Watches have become renowned for producing highly fresh, modern and colourful watches that are always one step ahead of the trend game and boasting simple designs enhanced with unique aesthetic and functional twists meaning that there is a style and colour that you are sure to love!
A new style that we have our eye on at the moment is the new Maximo LTD Watch in black. With its smooth PU black rubber strap and bold black dial with white and silver markers and accents, what is particularly striking is the off-set crown which is positi
oned slightly higher up (at the 10 minute level) and the unidirectional rotatable bezel which is a feature often found on diving watches and allows you to measure a specific period of time. If black isn’t your thing and you prefer a more colour inspired version there are also other vibrant colours in the offering including hot pink, purple, yellow, white and this season’s trend inspired pastel grey. For a watch of this unique style and function the £65 price tag allows you to really express your personal style (that won’t be seen on 100’s of other people!) at an affordable price. Who said exclusive meant expensive?!
LTD Watches are highly robust, durable and are able to endure the wear and tear of everyday activity which means you are also investing in a high quality watch that serves great function.
The new Maximo style mentioned above is available for delivery from mid-May so if you want to be alerted of its arrival by email make sure you enter your email address by clicking on the product status ‘Tell me when this arrives’. Remember, they’re strictly limited so be sure to be quick as this style is one of the hot faves for summer!
LTD Watches – The New Styles!
LTD watches are a new watch brand which very recently launched in 2009 with the view of designing and creating a collection of limited edition style watches available in small quantities. Only 100-150 models in each style is made around the world and though highly exclusive, what makes LTD watches unique aside from their style, is that each watch retails between £49 and £79 which makes them accessible to most budgets. However, once they are sold out, you won’t be able to buy them again and this definitely adds a desirable factor to the brand as LTD watches will soon become collector’s items.
LTD watches provide that instant quick fix trend appeal with their vibrant colour tones. Bold colour has certainly been a key trend throughout 2009 and this is set to continue through to 2010. LTD watches focus on colour and keep the remaining design and overall aesthetic simple with the models typically featuring a stainless steel case, polycarbonate bracelet straps and a round dial. In many of the new styles, vibrant colours including yellow, pink, orange, black, white, blue and green to name only a few have been combined together to create a real statement watch that injects current style into your look. Some of the LTD watches also have a neon colour effect and some use cool contrasting colours in the dial and the strap such as turquoise and yellow. These make for the perfect striking accessory a
nd will jazz up any outfit and add a nice splash of colour to muted tones.
There are some brand new additions to the LTD watch range which have recently hit the shelves. These include-:
LTD Watch: LTD 130407
An incredibly retro inspired chunky LTD watch, this style features a large square dial with two slim digital displays. The bold use of multiple colours creates a true statement watch with a funky yet simple aesthetic and style. There are four versions of this watch in different colour combinations.
LTD Watch: Super Glow 140101
As the name suggests, these LTD watches have a unique feature of glowing in the dark. In similar styles as the first collection with round dials and polycarbonate straps, these still come in a range of cool and vibrant colours but also have glow in the dark capability
LTD Watch: LTD 010101
The most exclusive of the LTD watch collection, this rather unique and special watch has the same aesthetic as the other LTD watches, but the round dial is entirely embellished in diamante jewels for that added bling factor. The strap is clear polycarbonate and this is the perfect accessory to brighten up your look with a glamorous yet trendy edge.
Other new styles include versions with jewel encrusted skull designs on the dial. As winter is upon us, the designs of the watches have adapted accordingly and still use colour as the focal point, but also incorporate other striking features such as diamante jewel embellishments and picture designs on the dials for a more relevant autumn/winter style.
Despite their relatively low price tag, LTD watches are still great quality and are designed to be durable, functional and of course, reliable. The analogue watches are powered by three hand Japanese quartz movement and the hands and dial feature luminous inserts making them readable at night. All LTD watches also include their exclusive limited edition number on the design.
Needless to say, LTD watches are a favourite among many celebrities including Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris and the girls from The Saturdays have often been seen wearing different versions. This also is testament to the fact that just because a product is exclusive it can still be financially accessible to everyone and if they are good enough for the celebs, then they are definitely good enough for us!
You do have to be quick as these watches really are only made in limited quantities and thus not only will you be getting a highly on trend and funky accessory, in less than years to come you will own something incredibly unique and relevant to this fashion era. The collection is constantly revamped and updated and there are some incredible styles to choose from this season. The winter may be grey, but with LTD watches, your look can say the exact opposite!
LTD watches-Very Colourful
LTD watches are quickly infiltrating the celebrity world and it’s no surprise. With this season’s obsession with bright colours, you’d be hard pushed to find a more on-trend watch brand. The novel ‘limited’ concept behind the label ensures wristwear designs always remain original and more importantly, always in vogue. As few as 50 watches are produced in each design, which means current seasonal trends are always reflected in the LTD watches portfolio.
As reported a few weeks ago, many stars performing at T4 on the Beach were spotted toting some LTD watch action, including new girlband The Saturdays, Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris. Check out Rochelle and Vanessa ‘Saturday’ showing off their LTD watches. The turqoise blue watch looks amazing against Rochelle’s skin and really accessorises her outfit to perfection.
Other slightly less glamorous fans of the brand include Leigh Francis’s alter-ego Keith Lemon, seen here sporting a purple LTD watch which adds a summery look to his shiny ‘pleather’ jacket and sun-kissed locks!
At Shade Station we frequently get our paws on new LTD stock, which we love to share with you! To add to the new violet and red LTD watches, we have the super fabulous, limited edition white crystal (polycarbonate) encrusted ‘LTD watch 010101′ and for tougher watch fans, a jewel encrusted skull design on white or back – ‘LTD Watch 010104′.
There’s so much to choose from and now is the time to really embrace the colour craze as we enjoy the last of the summer and before autumn’s subdued palette takes over.
Ltd Watches at T4 on the Beach!
If you’re a regular reader of our blogs you’ll know how much we love LTD watches. Ltd watches are the ultimate summer watch. Designed in a spectrum of bright, funky colours these on trend watches have ‘summer fun’ written all over them. As predicted the stars have caught the Ltd Watch ‘bug’ and this month’s T4 on the Beach in Weston-Super-Mare saw a host of celebrities sporting them.
Bonkers favourite, Dizzee Rascal, performed to an audience of thousands wearing his Ltd watch, as did Scotsman Calvin Harris and Girls Aloud pretenders, The Saturdays.
The beauty of Ltd watches is their exclusivity. Every style is on a limited run (hence the name) and no more than 150 copies are made in each colour – so you can own a virtually unique timepiece. Because the designs change so often it means new colours are constantly released, so there’s always plenty of choice for Ltd lovers! New colours to hit Shade Station are violet, green and red. The violet Ltd watch would look fabulous with a yellow skirt or trousers – contrast your colours to great effect!
Ltd watches are perfect for injecting a dose of colour. They lift an ordinary outfit and single the wearer out as being a fearless fashion-forward individual. For the ultimate summer wristwear you’ll be hard pushed to find anything as cool and fresh as Ltd watches and at an amazing £49 you can go wild!
