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!
A Splash of colour with LTD watches
Summer 2009 is all about colour and the bolder the better! After all, celebrating those precious few months of sunshine with a splash of colour in our look is fun and the looks on the catwalks have certainly reflected the same opinion. Perhaps if you’re not all about colour in your clothes, the best way to inject some dazzling tones in your overall look is with accessories and with LTD watches, you can definitely go to town on this!
LTD watches, well, the clue is in the name, are strictly limited edition and each one comes in bright colours which perfectly fit this season’s trends. It is surprising how with just one colourful watch, it can add an instant lift to any outfit. The range of LTD watches are available in vibrant colours such as green, yellow, white, pink and blue. The LTD Watch 020103 in high polished white is extremely visual and injects a summer look into your outfit. This white style is also available with various dial colours if you like to mix it up a little and avoid one block colour. The LTD Watch 050103 in sunshine yellow and featuring a red dial is one of the most striking of the range and is definitely bold and fun! The baby pink LTD Watch 060102 is gorgeously girly although like the rest of the range, is unisex.
Gone are the times (or trends) whereby your clothes and colour coordination had to match exactly. For summer 2009 at least, you can be as experimental with colour as you wish and it seems the more the clash the better! Why not team a yellow LTD watch with a piece of red clothing for example. Or perhaps the blue LTD watch with white skinny jeans for a quirky take on the nautical trend. A simple bit of creativity with your accessories can achieve a high fashion look and establish you as a real fashion and trend innovator.
The great thing about the range of LTD watches, especially in these economically challenging times are that at £49 they are extremely budget friendly and the option is there to go for a few choices. As they are also limited edition you will be buying something completely unique. Rumour has it that this will be a great summer so why not opt for a brightly coloured LTD watch to add some pzazz and colour to your look!
At Shade Station we have the full range of LTD watches in addition to a host of other watches, sunglasses and jewellery from designer brands including Seksy, Philippe Starck, Chanel and D Squared.

Brighten your Summer with LTD Watches
Summertime and bright colours go together like ’strawberries and cream’ or ‘a day at the races and champagne’. One without the other just ain’t so. If you look to the catwalk for inspiration you’ll see this year’s Spring/Summer ‘09 collections are all about pastels and eye-popping colours. Orange and purple are particular popular colours and are set to be big news in the coming months. Designers are on a mission to brighten the economy and our mood with lively hues and plenty of eye-pleasing, summer teasing colours and styles.
For colour inspiration for your wrist, look no further than LTD Watches. These limited edition beauties come in bright poster paint colours that will delight all those with a sunny disposition and a penchant for following seasonal trends. At spectacularly pocket friendly prices, LTD wristwear offers a universal design in a breadth of different colours. Yellow, baby pink and acid green are great choices for those who wish to stand out from the crowd and embrace all things colourful, whilst those who prefer a slightly more subtle approach to their wristwear may enjoy an LTD watch in white, royal blue or black, with perhaps a different hued face. Whatever your preference try to avoid the matchy matchy look that Paris Hilton seems to favour so much!
Colourful watches can add real appeal to an outfit. One idea is to match the colour of your watch face to a particular colour you are wearing to bring the whole ensemble together. Or perhaps opt for contrasting colours to set both your outfit and your wrist off to great effect. Yellow and Purple are fabulous contrasting colours and as such a yellow LTD Watch would add extra oomph to any purple clothing you are wearing. Finally for the brave fashionista’s amongst you, clashing hues can be very fashion-forward and style savvy, a pink LTD watch with a red belt for instance or red skinny jeans would be a great choice and mark you out as a real trend-setter.
Whatever the weather this summer, opt for a brightly coloured LTD Watch to supercharge your wrist with a vibrant hue and lift your mood!
