Is the dress watch dead? Even Rolex is "unpopular"

 [Watch House Watch Miscellaneous Talk] Formal watches are the oldest and classic watches. The shape of the watch is derived from performance. The simple dial and practical three-hand needle do not require too many fancy embellishments, and inherit the most classic watch design language. However, looking back at the new products launched by major brands in recent years, rolex replica it is not difficult to find that the proportion of sports watches is increasing. However, formal watches, which were once all the rage, have now been left out, and some people can’t help asking, is it because formal watches have fallen?

The rise of sports models and the marginalization of formal watches actually reflect the aesthetic changes of the times. In recent years, both clothing and shoes have become more sporty and casual. Nowadays, except for formal occasions and specific occupations, we rarely go out in suits and ties. And you must know that in the last century, suits and leather shoes were men's daily wear. With the change of fashion trends, formal watches are gradually marginalized.

So is the formal watch going to decline? I don't think so. At present, formal watches still have a place in the major brand series. As far as Rolex is concerned, the popularity of the brand in recent years has far exceeded people's expectations. Sports series such as Submariner, GMT, and Daytona are all popular in the market, but the performance of the formal watch Cellini has been mediocre, and it is even called "the Rolex least like Rolex" by watch friends. But it was the existence of Cellini that changed many of my stereotypes about Rolex.

The reason why it is known as "the most unlike Rolex" is that Cellini has too many unusual designs. First of all, replica watches australia Cellini is currently the only formal watch of Rolex. It is the only series of Rolex that uses leather straps, and it is also one of the few styles that does not use an Oyster case. In addition, the Cellini Prince is also the only Rolex watch with a transparent case back.

The name of the Cellini series comes from the Italian Renaissance goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini (Benvenuto Cellini). The case is mostly made of 18k white gold and rose gold to pay tribute to this legendary figure. The first Cellini watch was born in the 1960s. The modern Cellini Ref.50505 was unveiled at the 2014 Baselworld. Compared with the old Ref.4243 and Ref.4244, many changes have been made. The appearance, dial design, and movement technology have all been upgraded. The new Cellini watch has an increased diameter of 39 mm, a dog ring and a tapered crown. The movement has been upgraded from a manual replica watches winding movement to a Cal.3132 self-winding movement, and some styles have been inlaid with diamonds, which can be said to be a sincere upgrade in terms of configuration.

Although fashion trends have gradually marginalized formal watches, I believe that it will not decline, but will become more niche and high-end, and become a social symbol of a specific circle just like classical music and classical literature.
