"For a while there, we all looked like we were just about to go diving. Or flying. Or driving at top speed around a track. Even though we rarely used them to do what they were made for, tool watches found a home on nearly every man's wristand we loved it. They are, after all, rugged, purpose-built time-tellers that happen to look good on pretty much everyone."
"But our collective love of them came with an accidentaland unfortunateside effect: We stopped paying attention to all the charm that dress watches have to offer. No more. This year, sleeker, smaller watches with a heaping dose of refinement have reentered the conversation. And now they're dominating it. That's great news for horology buffs and style hounds alike. Because these watches offer whole new ways to express yourself with elegance, whether you prefer something with mid-century inspiration, architectural edge, or unabashed '70s luxury."
Tool watches long dominated men's wrists despite infrequent use, prized for rugged, purpose-built design and universal appeal. That dominance led to neglect of dress-watch elegance. Sleeker, smaller dress watches with refined finishes have resurged, offering mid-century inspiration, architectural lines, and '70s luxury. Contemporary examples include the Santos de Cartier rendered in extra-light, hardened titanium and the Rolex Perpetual 1908 with a seven-link Settimo gold bracelet that hugs the wrist. These refined pieces expand avenues of elegant self-expression for horology enthusiasts and style-conscious wearers alike.
