Time For Love…

by Rosanna Carlucci

So in walks this blonde, all shape and no time. She sashays passed the coat check; her fitted black trench loves her in all the right places. She makes her way to the bar and orders a glass of champagne. She sits and waits. She's not from around here. The man seated at the other end of the bar attempts to break his stare but his eyes won't listen. She reminds him of Rose, the blonde hair, the ruby red lips, and the uneasiness. She was the kind of woman that made him feel like everything was going to be ok. He finally looks away and the sight of his reflection in his glass makes him ill. He knows that he cannot let her get away.

   He rises from his chair and begins to walk; he is drawn to her like a moth to a flame.  As he approaches, he notices that she appears to adjust the diamond bracelet on her wrist. Yet as he draws closer he can see that her bracelet is in actuality a watch, and his temptress is checking the time with great haste. She meets his longing gaze and with the grace of a hummingbird she pays for her nectar and disappears. No bar, no man, no cage can hold her...

When the ritual of seduction is in practice, time seems to have no say.  When fashion and time meet, designers Badgley Mischka definitely have a say. The classically elegant design duo known for their breathless bridal gowns and red carpet stunners have decided to expand their empire with a line of watches.

  Each watch is beautifully designed like a piece of jewellery that can be worn both day and night. From an elegant bejeweled cuff to a beautiful crystal bow that secretly holds the time, each watch seems to be inspired by the delicate vintage timepieces of decades past. 

  As early as the 1920’s a ladies watch would range from a simple yet classical design to a more ornate “evening watch” which would resemble a piece of jewellery, such as a bracelet. The time for a new watch is now.

*Trivia: The Swiss watch company Vacheron Constantin has the record for the world’s most expensive wristwatch. The watch was created in 1979 has 118 emerald-cut diamonds and it’s estimated worth is 11 million dollars.
