Black Dice Watches – The Perfect Urban Style Accessory

November 6, 2009
Posted by David

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.

There are many stylish designs within the Black Dice collection. Here is a list of the latest styles.

No industry is quite so image obsessed as the urban music scene, where accessories, watches and footwear are as important as the clothes worn. Black Dice is reflective of this stylish scene and their watches are edgy and extremely well designed.
