It will give people a fresh feeling if the watch dial, strap and bracelet are properly decorated by some exquisitely designed accessories. How to make a perfect collocation between wristwatches and accessories in different occasions? Media host made an exclusive interview with Richard Mille, the independent wristwatches manufacturer.

MH: In your opinion, what is the key characteristic of the wristwatches for decorations?

Richard: Similar to the jewelries worn by women, wristwatches with decorations play the same function. Men rarely wear jewelries. The wristwatches used for decoration are usually brilliant with well-designed outlook, playing the role of replacing the jewelry for men. Hereby, it can bring shining points for those men who get used to dressing themselves in simple method. It is the reason that makes the wristwatches for decoration worthy of obtaining more attention from designers compared with its functional structure. One wristwatch used for decoration requires less high techniques, but the luxuriance and fashion of the dial and strap are indispensable.

MH:  What do you think of the investment space for this kind of wristwatch?

Richard: Most part of the decoration wristwatches are of famous brands. Although their selling points don’t depend on the technique and craftsmanship, the rose gold, platinum, titanium material used for watch cases production are enchased with rare gems. The specialty makes the own value of the wristwatches transfer to the value of all the materials, which supplies a large space for investment. Besides, the decoration style wristwatches and jewelry wristwatches have something in common. The increasing value of jewelry wristwatch represents the relevant increase of decoration style wristwatch.

MH: How to select the decoration style wristwatch based on diverse occasions?

Richard: That relies on the atmosphere of the occasion. If it is the half-formal like the annual party of the company or the party among colleagues, a wristwatch with simple design and brilliant color should be more suitable. While, the wristwatch of sporty style and exaggerated outlook is more suitable for weekend or out-going holiday. For the luxurious banquet, you should wear the wristwatch with gorgeous appearance and enchased with precious gems.

MH: Can you recommend several kinds of wristwatches of your own favor?

Richard: The key taboo for decoration-style wristwatch is flaunting and tradition. I usually prefer the balanced style between simplicity and magnificence. Take the Skeleton wristwatch for example; it will never be out of fashion. The skeleton part of the old Skeleton wristwatch is at the bottom of the case. Recently, the wristwatch with skeleton dial is more popular with high craftsmanship and good-looking appearance. Besides, I also like the wristwatch enchased with drizzled diamonds in hour marking or the bezel enchased with elegant gems. Both are perpetually popular styles.
