I might be a little too late into the ToyWatch craze, but then, so what?! I read about the watch sometime last year, but even then, it was already a little bit late, being that it was introduced mid 2006 and featured by Instyle, People, & Lucky magazine among many others.
I've always liked big watches, I even like wearing men's watches most of the time. :) Although, now that we're in austerity (again!), I'm steering clear of shopping for a little while. Gotta make small sacrifices here and there in order to achieve long term gains, right? [Art will be so proud to read this.]
What's so special about these toywatches anyway? Aside from it taking the world by storm, it's a luxury style plastic watch that's reminiscent of a Rolex or Audemar Piguet, but only cheaper! It's designed by Marco Marvilla, an italian wristwatch designer from the US. It's got a wide range of designs to choose from that it's just so difficult to narrow down your choice to only one toywatch. It's been seen on the wrists of hollywood stars such as Oprah, Madonna, Keira Knightly, among many others.
Here are my current favorites:
Gold Chrono Collection - Brown
$275
Neon Plasteramic - Pink
$195
All Black Classic Collection - Black
$275
Twin Collection - White
$375
Luxury Plasteramic - White
$375
*sigh. :)
I was given an Anne Klein plastic chrono last month, and it reminds me so much of the ToyWatch Crystal collection.
They look so similar that I think I really can do without a toywatch for now. ;)
