Times are changing, darling: it's time for a watch

Where I used to never wear anything on my wrist, in fact: I thought it was silly, I have been a fan of beautiful watches for about three years now. Part of growing up, I guess. Suddenly you spend money on things like a garden hose, curtains, finally buy that nice suitcase for yourself AND that watch comes along. My tip for an entry-level model: CLUSE. Affordable, suits everyone and yes, let's be honest, if Instagram floods something, it's the photogenic watches from the national brand. Yep, it's time for a watch. Which model? These are my favorites.

1. For a touch of glamour: the Minuit collection

The classic model with which you can start your watch collection purrrima. With the calm understated dial, it fits literally all your looks (believe me, I have it too) and you immediately give the whole thing a touch of extra glamour with the Roman numerals on top. And also nice: you can choose from dozens of leather and mesh watch straps to mix and match.

2. For the cool girls: La Tétragone

With a square case. Rounded corners. Feminine, but still a bit masculine and therefore übercool. Spotted on just about all the fashion girls by the way. My advice: take the gold-colored watch and wear a mini bracelet next to it. Very Parisien chic.

3. For the minimalist (who secretly still has an inner magpie): the Triomphe

Our very personal editorial favorite. No numbers on the dial, no fuss, just a watch with a nice large dial and a colored strap. And why choose between gold, silver, or rose gold? With these CLUSE watches go for both.

P.S.: The cool thing about these three models is that all of them fit the same (16 mm) straps. Silver, black leather, python, lizard, you name it. So, to Hans Klok then? Very good. Make me proud.
