It is sometimes forgotten that a timepiece is a fashion accessory. In the high end watch world, it can be hard to own a collection fit for every colorful shirt or belt and shoe combination. Matching your entire wardrobe can get expensive. As a collector myself, i like to find unique timepieces in both style and color that I will be proud to wear and will also match my wardrobe selection. Shinola seems to share this same sentiment. Their latest, The Shinola Runwell with stone dials, offers some of those more interesting dials at a price fit to wear.

Back in the day, Rolex came out with pieces with both stone and wood dials. Rare and interesting, these are sought after by collectors today. Within the 38mm steel or gold PVD case of the Shinola Runwell is a stone dial reminiscent of those old Rollies. Great combinations of this piece include a steel case with turquoise, PVD gold case with Tigers eye, and PVD gold case with Malachite. Paired with either a leather strap or bracelet, Shinola offers a very fashionable option for those unique colors. The unisex 38mm case has a classic coined edge that sets this piece apart from any old round colorful piece. Keeping the price manageable is a swiss quartz movement inside.

RM Sapphire Collection

Richard Mille has been setting the standard with its colorful designs. A few years ago, RM rolled out watches inspired by candies, which had a high demand. And just like candies, everyone wanted a piece.

Thanks to the conspicuous materials, this collection plays with color and redefines the conventional way of doing things. Apparently, this is not RM’s first time — the brand has been coming up with new ways of doing things. For instance, RM manufactured an entire casing from sapphire 12 years ago.

Street fashion decoded: A breakdown of the styles you need to know

Clock out for the height of street fashion

We spend a lot of time on the subject of how to dress — wearing the best suits and getting them to fit the right way, making a great first impression by having the highest-quality garments and the best grooming products. But one thing we don't always talk about is taking who you are inside and letting it shine through. Sure, almost every piece of style advice we give here carries with it an element of personal messaging. But there is one way that you can do that without having to overthink it. You can embrace street fashion.

Sneakerheads. Surfers. Skaters. Ballers. There are so many versions of street fashion, or streetwear, depending on how you want to refer to it, that it can get hard to keep them straight. But the crux is that this is defined as anything worn by people in a casual setting, usually representing a subculture they belong to, be it punk rock, hip-hop, skaters and surfers, or athletics. Typically, those who embrace this clothing category are younger (in their 20s) and live in urban areas more than rural ones. But now that social media has taken off, these looks and these subcultures are reaching every corner of the globe.
