Treasure Tuesday, Sasha Rhett Rose Gold Watches: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I'm not much of a watch girl - I prefer to accent my wrists with a bold Ted Rossi cuff or the Lia Sophia Royale Bracelet which looks so lux you might even believe its real gold with diamonds. But, when I find a watch that looks like delicate jewelry, count me in for that purchase. Sasha Rhett's watches have thin leather or exotic skin interchangeable straps, so you can get many style options from just one face. Also, the straps come in single and double wrap. I prefer the double wrap because it completes that watch-as-bracelet look. Additionally, you can choose to layer bracelets on the same arm - something slim, like Bree Inara's Hamsa, Alphabet or String collections, is best. 

This season, Sasha Rhett introduces rose gold watches. It's my favorite metal, and an ideal complement to the season's nude trend.

Mystery Monday, The Slap Watch: PAMELA PEKERMAN

If you are between the ages of 25 and 30, you probably remember wearing and collecting slap bracelets – that is until they were eventually banned due to injures inflicted on the arm from constant slapping of the thin metal “bracelet” against one’s wrist. Ah, the good old days. Well, those days are back in a new form. Introducing the Slap Watch, the next best thing to being 11-years-old again, and chasing the ice cream truck down the block to ensure you get your daily fill of Marina Italian Ices. The Slap Watch combines the spring coil bracelet craze of the late 1980s and early 1990s with the silicone trend sweeping the watch industry. I’ve been playing with mine for a few hours now; hence this post is going up later in the day. I just wish I could figure out how to set the time. Maybe I should just stick to slap bracelets?

The Slap Watch

The Slap Watch is available in nine colors with interchangeable faces, creating 81 different possibilities. Are you a fan of these watches? Do you recall the slap bravelets? Leave a comment below or dish with me on twitter @PamelaPekerman.

Mystery Monday, Glam Rock Watches Customized Luxury: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Dear Bagistas,

I haven’t worn a watch in nearly five years and the last one I took off was Cacharel with a gorgeous pearlized blue face with diamonds at every quarter of the clock. I’m just not a fan of occupying a wrist with a time keeper, when I could cover it in a killer Ted Rossi cuff or some over-the-top jeweled bracelet. But, that all changed a few weeks ago when I won a custom-designed watch Glam Rock courtesy of my friends at The Promo Factory.

When the current season of Dancing With The Stars kicked off, I was invited by The Promo Factory to a viewing party of the show and a preview of Glam Rock watches, which had been gifted to many of the cast members. Guests at the event were treated to wine, friendly socializing and the chance to design a watch from countless dials, straps and case covers. The two people who designed the best looks, as judged by the stylish Dawn del Russo, would win the watches they created.

After much back and forth, I settled on a beige alligator case cover, a brown satin strap, and a dial with rose gold – I’m mad for rose gold! The following day I learned of my winnings – and I must say editors are jaded since we get so much for free, but I was over-the-moon.

Glam Rock watches from Miami collection.

Glam Rock, launched in Miami in 2005, is a completely customizable line of watches hand crafted in France utilizing the finest leather including genuine alligator, lizard and python, with diamonds, cabochons and semi-precious stones. Not just flash, these watches are quite comfortable thanks to a curved, ergonomic case that grants the wrist ease of motion. Last, but not least, nestled in the heart of the solid stainless steel case, is the Swiss-made movement.

This glamor will cost you. The version I designed is about $1500! Additional straps and case covers start at $55 for synthetic straps and go up to $1950 for a diamond case cover.

It’s time to start saving! 

Have a bag-a-licious day!
