Michael Kors Watches are THE brand with ultimate signature style. All of their creations embody a sense of exquisite design style, are luxurious with a casual twist and are highly sophisticated and elegant.

The Michael Kors label began in 1981 and their success as a designer has continued to rise with creations often featured in glossy iconic publications such as Vogue. Michael Kors Watches are incredibly individual, yet sporting a classically timeless design with most of their watches adopting a bracelet and circular face to fantastic effect.

Whether you are looking for something with a simple leather strap or a stylish ceramic bracelet, Michael Kors Watches are definitely for you; and it is this breathtaking beauty and quality which really takes the brand head and shoulders above others.

Quirky and original is probably the best way to describe the new range from Marc by Marc Jacobs Watches; with the designer focussing on retro chic and an array of eclectic styles designed to be worn day or night whatever your style. Colour schemes are massively important when it comes to Marc by Marc Jacobs Watches with vivid styles and bold statement pieces taking the forefront of the brand’s image, whereas their classic designs are always popular amongst everyday users and fashionistas alike! Their range stretches from stainless steel chunky bracelets to on-trend polycarbonate straps and bold dials with colourful time markers. The dial of a watch is always going to be the focal point when looking at it, which is why Marc by Marc Jacobs have embraced colour to draw attention to their amazing new watches; faded dials, colourful markers and interesting sub dials ensure that they will be turning heads all season long!

Fossil Watches are best known for their vintage yet chic styling and with versatility that stretches from smart and sleek to sporty and casual, they would make a great gift for that special someone! As a brand, Fossil is distinguished in the art of watch-making; it’s superb styling is juxtaposed by using only the highest quality movements and their new releases for this season are destined to be show stoppers. Focus for this season is on the smaller, daintier watch and this has proven to be really popular already with their thin leather bands and narrow watch bracelets taking centre stage in the season long musical which is Autumn/Winter 2012! Of course, no new range of Fossil Watches would be complete without their classically designed vintage watches which are sure to be as well received as ever.

Now, let’s not get too wound up with our amazing classic brands and take a look at some of the new releases gracing the shelves this Autumn/Winter. Everyone seems to have heard of Rotary Watches and over recent years, the name has become synonymous with fantastic quality and sleek, often slim design. Rotary Watches have an incredibly rich history stretching right back to 1895 when founder Moise Dreyfuss opened his factory in the Swiss town of La Chaux de Fonds. Demand for his watches increased and the business quickly outgrew itself and moved onto bigger and better things. After being appointed the official watch supplier to the British Army in 1940, Rotary aspired to be the best and in 1942, they created their very first Automatic watch – a watch powered by the movement of the wearer’s wrist! Their famous ‘winged wheel’ logo could be seen everywhere and endorsement from famous faces helped them to horology stardom. Now these incredible timepieces have arrived right here at Shade Station and we couldn’t be prouder. You will see that they are split into categories depending on your preference, there is; Gold, Stainless Steel, Two Tone and Aquaspeed – all have their very own individual advantages which shine over other similar brands. We believe that they are set to be the perfect Christmas gift…

I’m sure that you will find something for you or that special someone at Shade Station this season and don’t forget we also have a fantastic selection from other brands such as; Mondaine, DKNY, Diesel, Adidas, Pulsar, Casio, Bulova, Calvin Klein and many many more!
