Let’s Talk About Watches
I love watches! But after my Tag Heuer died on me, I didn’t buy one or wear one anymore. And I miss it! I remember when I used to go gaga over Swatch, Benetton and Guess watches. I miss those days too! I really love those funky designs and braided leather straps. Yeah, I love anything braided leather… I remember also owning a Benetton backpack with braided leather straps and a braided leather belt too. Anyway, back to watches look at what I’ve found doing online window shopping… I know these are luxury watches but I’d love me some of these!
From left to right, that’s the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 2000 SS Womens Watch, Gai Mattiolo Fashion Dangling Watch, and Gucci 107L SS Charms Bracelet Watch. Aren’t these gorgeous?
And here’s a little interesting fact: Have you noticed that almost all watch ads has the time set to 10:10? I noticed it when I was still working for a magazine as a lyout artist. And here’s the reason why… a watch ad should off all the hands without blocking the brand logo. The 10:10-ish set-up does that while framing the logo, making the face look balanced, and creating a positive-looking, upward-pointing “smiley face.”
