Fossil

Cyber Monday is a great time to be BOLD. And I’m going to make some bold assumptions as I present this Cyber Monday watch deal to you. The first assumption is you’re kind of in love with these gorgeous new NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton watches. The second assumption is that you’re not ready to pay $5,000+ for one. And the third, and final, assumption is that you’ll find this trio of Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watches (now priced $207 from $295 for Cyber Monday) a suitable enough alternative, or at least one that’s attractive enough at this price to go ahead and pick up. Or, I could be completely wrong, but you still like this Cyber Monday deal on an affordable watch, anyhow. It’s anybody’s game really. In either case, tap the button below to check out the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection while the watches are still $88 off or keep reading to see our take.

Why you should buy a watch from the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection

These 48mm watches feature gorgeous metal casings of stainless steel. The inner workings, much like the NORQAIN I compare them to, have an incomplete black dial with cutouts tucked between lines and circles, which reveal the inner workings of the watch. It’s a stunning view. Of course, Fossil gives its own unmistakable touch to the format, with a bold 2, 4, 8, 10 numeration, thick hands, “FOSSIL” bolded painted at 3 o’clock, and both “30” and “60” chiseled into the casing.

Still, if you look at the colorations (smoke, black, and gold), you’ll likely see something that marks these watches as being of a higher caliber than what the price tag suggests. And since this is a deal, you’d be 100% right, but even during normal times, you can’t help but wonder if Fossil could ask for more than $300 for one of these watches.

If you’re interested and want one of these Fossil watches for just $207 instead of $295, just tap the button below. That’s a savings of 30% or $88, depending on how you prefer to think about it. And, while you’re thinking about smaller objects, go ahead and check out our Cyber Monday stocking stuffer guide. Finally, if you were truly as enamored as I am with these watches, check out our collection of the best Fossil watches for more shopping inspiration from a classic brand.

Perrelet teams up with Seconde/Seconde for a bold new limited-edition watch
This Perrelet watch will make you smile
Perrelet x Seconde

Perrelet teamed up with a talented artist—Romaric André, better known as Seconde/Seconde/—on a stylish new watch. The artist is quite popular for his irreverent style, which transcends the conventional ways of doing things. That's apparent in the design of this new watch, which is a limited edition version of the iconic Perrelet Turbine.

Think of it as a contemporary timepiece that merges three worlds into one—horology, art, and industrial culture. One of the most striking details is the yellow sign at the center of the dial. It’s complemented by a unique message—keep hands clear.
