Grand Seiko Just Dropped 3 Watches That Pay Homage to Samurai Swords

Posted on by Betty R. Sattler

For its latest U.S.-exclusive watches, Grand Seiko introduces the SBGA489 and SBGA491 alongside the limited edition SBGA493 in its Heritage Collection. Each draws inspiration from the katana, a Japanese sword known for its balance, beauty, and craftsmanship.

For Grand Seiko, the significance of the katana is in not only its material composition but also the way it’s formed. Making such a sword is a demanding and exacting art combining earth, fire, water, and air. First, iron sand is drawn from the Earth and heated using both fire and air in a furnace known as a tatara. This melted sand forms the Japanese “jewel” steel known as tamahagane, which in fact contains steel that varies greatly in carbon content. A high-carbon steel known as kawagane is used for the outer sharp edge, and a low-carbon steel known as shingane is used for the inner core of the blade. These shards of metal are stacked, heated, forged, folded, and then quenched in water until the inner core is welded within the hard exterior.

Limited Edition SBGA493

The spirit of the katana is reflected in each of the three watches. The SBGA489 is a rich black dial iteration that calls back to the hardness and beauty of kawagane on the sword’s sharp outer edge. Alternatively, the SBGA491 is a dark green version that reflects the resilience and strength of shingane, which makes up the blade’s inner core. While these two variations draw inspiration from the materials used to craft the katana, the limited edition SBGA493 mirrors the process of creation. Its fiery red dial immediately elicits the heat and flame of the tatara that’s used to melt the iron sand to steel. Between the three references, you also get a slightly different pattern to the dial. The dials

5 Best Casio Watches to Buy

Posted on by Betty R. Sattler

Simple, affordable, and classic. That’s a Casio watch. From the mailman to the red carpet celebrities, this brand’s superb watches fit every budget. Casio’s cannot be undermined, so in celebration of Casio, we have selected five gorgeous timepieces by Casio. These timepieces are affordable and could make for an ideal addition to your fashion wardrobe or extensive watch collection.

Casio ‘Collection’ Gold and Digital Dial Stainless Steel Quartz Watch

Priced at a total retail price of £69, it isn’t the most affordable piece by Casio. However, it can be worn on many occasions with its iconic gold look. This iconic piece includes an alarm, stopwatch, and an LED light if you like your watches to have day-to-day practicality.

Casio ‘G-Shock’ Off white and Black Plastic/Resin Quartz Chronograph Watch

In the pricier range, we have Casio ‘G-Shock’ Off White & Black Plastic/Resin Quartz Chronograph Watch. This lovely piece is thicker than Casio’s standard calculator or classical-styled pieces. Still, it is durable and great for people who love a more oversized wristwatch, as it measures 45mm in diameter. This special edition of the G-Shock includes a chronograph function and a lovely strap that can be matched well with a monochromatic wardrobe or a more playful outfit.

Casio ‘G-Shock’ Rose Gold and LCD Stainless Steel Tough solar Chronograph Radio-Controlled Watch

Keeping in with the stylish looks, we have another G-shock on the list. This one reminds us of the Cartier pieces with its stainless steel bracelet. The rose colour pallet attracts attention and certainly appears significant on the wrist at 49mm. With its iconic digital dial, the piece will certainly fit within formal and informal occasions.

Casio ‘Collection Vintage’ Silver and Grey Plastic/Resin Quartz Watch

Aimed at ladies but can certainly be worn by fashionistas of all genders, the Casio Collection

The best timepieces from the MET Gala 2023

Posted on by Betty R. Sattler

MET Gala is to dress codes what Burning Man is to laissez faire marketplace. Feline prosthetics and gown trains that could hide a Cadillac underneath them, may have been the most apparent visual highlights of this year’s Lagerfeld-themed event, but to a keener eye, it was also a great venue for watch spotting. And for those not dressed up as Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, so as not to be mistaken for a furry, it was a great opportunity to draw the bedazzled and sometimes confounded public eye to some of the best watches of the year.

Eddie Redmayne (Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M)

Redmayne ditched his otherwise understated threads for an embroidered jacket by Alexander McQueen, and showed-up sporting an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in a new sandstone-coloured dial and a stainless steel case. Redmayne and Omega have been going strong for eight years now, with the former generally found wearing the brand’s dressier watch options. At the MET Gala, Redmayne’s wrist featured the latest in a series of resized Aqua Terra watches, available in 34mm and 38mm, and featuring a new palette of dial colours which go from an earthy sandstone to a bright terracotta red made using a PVD or CVD coating process.

Jonathan Bailey (Omega De Ville Prestige)

Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey is the latest actor to become a brand ambassador for Omega. An accomplishment he chose to celebrate by wearing a blue Omega De Ville Prestige. A simple time-only watch, the De Ville forms the entry point into Omega’s rarified club of dress watches. It’s got a simple stainless steel case, a dark blue PVD-coated dial with a unique, stamped pattern, Roman numerals and a matching blue alligator leather strap. That’s one way to welcome the actor to the Omega family.

A necklace is a simple way to add some personality to your everyday look. If you wear a lot of basics, you might consider a more unique necklace to create some intrigue through texture (like a chain) or a focal point (like a pendant). Alternatively, you can layer necklaces and combine different styles to assemble the perfect neck dressing.

“If you are looking to simply grow your everyday collection, a necklace designed for layering is a great choice,” celebrity jeweler Kendra Scott tells PEOPLE. “These are often long, thin, and delicate necklaces, and may feature smaller gemstones or pendants.” She suggests finding necklaces of different lengths so you can layer them in fun arrangements.

Regardless of what style, metal, or length you choose, a necklace can add a level of whimsy or sophistication to your look. Read on to see our picks for the best necklaces for women (or anyone who wants a bit of bling).

Who It’s Good For

Who It’s Not Good For

Simple, unique, and timeless — this necklace is an ideal everyday piece of jewelry. Made with 18k gold-plated sterling silver, it doesn’t cost as much as pure gold, but it has that same signature look. At 19 inches, the chain sits right at your collarbone to accent your face. The cubic zirconia gems mimic diamonds for a little sparkle to catch the eye when you walk in a room. While it’s understated compared to a thicker or larger necklace, it still holds its own as a piece of standalone jewelry. Though should you choose to layer several pieces, it
