Black Dice Watches – The Perfect Urban Style Accessory
Despite already being incredibly popular and high profile, Black Dice is a relatively new brand and was launched in 2006 by Guiseppe Zuccarello. The brand was primarily launched as Zuccarello had noticed a clear gap in the watch market and wanted to provide consumers with something different. Currently the industry comprised of watches which were either high end luxury and incredibly expensive or watches which fell into the sports/fashion sector whereby style and function are of equal priority. Not wanting to compromise on quality, Zuccarello had the ambition of creating watches which were trendy, chic and sophisticated but with a more edgy and urban appeal, and which take inspiration from current street culture and urban music.
The general vibe of Black Dice watches are urban street and thus it has a young following and a favourite brand of many celebrities. The various styles fall into the price bracket of between designer and high street and thus they are accessible to a wider target consumer but still have that high quality association.
What has really helped to put Black Dice watches on the map is the brand’s link with the urban music scene. The design of the brand’s watches is very much inspired by music as a whole genre and bands including JLS, Jay Sean and Alesha Dixon and numerous celebrities in the fashion scene are often spotted sporting a Black Dice watch. The brand was also featured at the incredibly high profile MOBO awards (Music of Black Origin) whereby the celebrities and audience had the opportunity to check out the range and be seen wearing it. The Black Dice watches were incredibly popular and are now the watch choice of many urban artists, bands and celebrities.

Urban Spice with Black Dice
Black Dice has developed a cult following within the urban community and celebrities are trail-blazing the way. Straddling the gap between music, design and urban living, it was only right that a company such as Black Dice ‘represented’ at the 2008 MOBO awards, the industry’s celebration of music of black origin. Celebrities and musicians clamoured to get their hands on Black Dice’s contemporary watch pieces and those seen leaving the party flashing their wrist swashbuckle included Aleesha Dixon, Pop Idol’s JLS, Radio One DJ Reggie Yates, Sinitta and Mica Paris.
Black Dice is a homegrown affair, developed, born and launched in London in the summer of 2006. Guiseppe Zuccarello, the brains behind the operation, created the company after noticing a gaping hole in the market for a streetwear led watch design rather than sports and high fashion influenced designs. And so Black Dice was born. The company pride themselves on using only the highest quality materials and presentation and design are unrivalled. There are no cosmetic or gimmicky design elements to dazzle the wearer, every feature on every watch has a purpose and a motive, no aspect is unintentional. All models come with the highest quality Miyota movements and are encased in stainless steel with a water resistance of 50 metres.
Black Dice design for both sexes and the range is extraordinary. The men’s collection is extensive and although the majority of pieces are meaty, there’s oodles of style throughout. Watch faces come in every size and shape and straps range from, rubber and ceramic to stainless steel and leather. Colour choice is rather classic, however there are flashes of gold for those who crave a little bling. The Women’s range is slightly less diverse, but no less interesting. Reflecting urban cool, these pieces are not for the timid with most erring on the feminine side of chunky.
