Unfortunately, this year summer has either started way too late or has felt rather short. A lot of us haven\u2019t had time to enjoy ourselves fully outside of our own homes due to the necessary government measures enforced because of the pandemic. It\u2019s almost as if we\u2019ve blinked and it\u2019s August. In the last month or so, however, restrictions have started to be lifted, the weather is warming up significantly and summer can finally begin. With how hectic 2020 has been so far it is no surprise that some of us would like the warm carefree months to last a little bit longer. Allow yourself to feel the joy of summer and extend this nonchalant vibrant feeling into the later part of the year with these summer watch trends.

As a material gold has never really left the watch industry. Whether in the form of gold PVD plating or actual gold cases and bracelets, gold has been a staple in watchmaking. The material has its downsides due to being a softer metal and easier to scratch, however, wearing a gold watch isn\u2019t about the durability of the piece, it\u2019s more about status and fashion. This summer make sure all eyes are on you with an elegant gold timepiece.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rectangular Case<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whether you see it as a traditional trend from the dawn of wristwatches coming back into fashion or a fashion-forward modern statement, there is no doubt that the rectangular case is back. This now unconventional shape was first popular in the 1900s when wristwatches first became fashionable. These days however rectangular and abstract cases are taking over the trends once again.

Baume & Mercier Hampton Rectangle | Automatic | Black Leather | Silver Dial<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
