November 11, 2009
Posted by Laura

LTD Watches have made quite a stir in the watch industry during 2009 with their simple styling, bold colours and retro appeal. What makes LTD Watches unique is the fact that each watch is only made in strictly limited edition quantities of between 100 and 150. At affordable proces, LTD watches have that high trend appeal, exclusivity and are budget friendly.

The latest exciting news is that hot boy band of the moment JLS who are currently topping the UK charts with their new release ‘Everybody In Love’ have designed their own exclusive LTD Watch entitled LTD Watch vs JLS and here at Shade Station we are extremely excited to have this available on our site. The watch is typical of the LTD watch style with a polycarbonate bracelet strap and round dial. The exclusive JLS branding is positioned at the bottom and the dial also incorporates small bursts of vibrant colours on the time markers making this an incredibly funky watch.

Like the rest of the range, these JLS LTD watches are strictly Limited Edition and only 100 models of each version are made. Other than the white watch, there are a whole host of other cool colours chosen by each band member which are soon to come into Shade Station so we’ll keep you posted on the arrival of those!

The JLS watches are currently selling on EBay for £140 which shows how sought after and in demand the watches are. The usual retail price (as on the Shade Station site) is £60 so make sure you sign up for an arrival notification to ensure you get your hands on one in time for Christmas!

JLS who found fame following the X Factor and now storming the charts are renowned not only for their great pop/R&B sound, but also for their funky and highly on trend image. LTD Watches are the perfect brand for them to be associated with and this new and highly exclusive JLS design ticks all the right boxes for style appeal.

New Black Dice Seen on JLS

The name on the street is most definitely Black Dice as it seems to be the hottest watch brand of the moment and anyone who is anyone has been spotted wearing one. Black Dice launched back in July 2006 with the intention of becoming a hip and design breaking UK streetwear watch brand, it has definitely exceeded all expectations. Now Black Dice watches are one of the most highly sought after brands in the urban music scene and seen on countless celebrities.

Only just recently, a member of the band JLS who became famous from the hit television reality show The X Factor was photographed at an industry bash wearing the new Black Dice Contraband watch. This particular watch is a recent edition to the collection and looks extremely cool with a black leather croco style band and featuring gold plated stainless steel around the case which also incorporate industrial hex bolts. This is a classic example of how Black Dice combine effortless street trend with chic and sophisticated style. Other celebrities who love Black Dice watches include Mica Paris, Alesha Dixon, Reggie Yates and Jesse Metcalfe.

Black Dice saw a niche in the market when sports orientated brands were targeting the sports/fashion market and high end brands were focusing on the luxury consumers. Up until this point there lacked a prominent British streetwear watch brand and therefore Black Dice have now very successfully filled that gap. With a strong commitment to designing innovative and consumer related products every watch produced is exceptional in appearance and quality with a distinct urban style. There are some fantastic new styles to check out for this season, the Contraband one of these. Why not make like the celebs and get involved in a piece of the Black Dice urban action!
