最近决定买块手表,向来喜欢简约而不简单的东西,看了很多帖子,挑了好几个小时,还是做个笔记吧,方便日后查阅他们的新款。
我的第一块手表是卡西欧,大三时候买的(初衷是买来考研的,不过后来保研了),在当时,对我来说可是第一款奢侈品,现在还记得那会纠结了好几天,还特意去实体店看了一转(网上买比实体店便宜一半),用了好几年,一直很喜欢。第二款手表是天梭机械表,某人送的,后来闹得很不愉快,把手表退回去了。没戴手表有一年多了,还是觉得用手表看时间方便,中途买了个手环,华而不实,几乎就没用过。最近身边有朋友戴DW,恰是我喜欢的极简风格,这激起我买块手表的欲望,看了很多帖子,包括但不局限于:
向来喜欢简约而不简单的东西。手表带日期功能,据说签合同很有用,目前还没体会到,我的上一块手表,每两个月得调一次日期(手表将一个月固定为30还是31天),我觉得有些麻烦。所以,这次挑表,几乎不考虑有日期的款式。看了那么多帖子,翻了那么多官网,以下列出3个我最喜欢的牌子。
Daniel Wellington,这个不用说,用朋友的话说,已经烂大街了。我第一次看到有人戴,就深深地被吸引住了。DW有专门的中国官网,在这里。好厉害,表盘厚度可以做到6mm,真是超薄。关于DW的介绍,维基百科的描述已经很到位了,如下:
Daniel Wellington is a Swedish watch company. It was founded in 2011 by Filip Tysander. Daniel Wellington watches are known for their elegance and minimalist style. They have also nylon NATO straps, but they come with leather straps too.
The watches are manufactured in China. The quartz movement is made by Miyota, a Japanese company.
The manufacture has known a quick and remarkable success, especially through a special digital strategy and an important presence on social networks like Instagram which get more than 2.4 millions subscribers.
Stock Watches是澳大利亚的一个牌子。我最早相中其中的一款,只可惜没货。表盘非常简单,简单到不留意都看不出是什么牌子(表盘没有文字),这大概是最吸引我的地方,尤爱S001和S002系列。

BRATHWAIT是美国的一个牌子,在官网上没有牌子的介绍,不过在他们的facebook主页找到了,如下:
The inspiration to our epic watch collection of iconic coolness came from an awesome man whose nature seems to be a rarity. His utmost awareness on values and proper, though effortless, manners, makes others feel at the top of their game.
This man is Richard Brathwait, the author of “The English Gentleman” from 1631, a historic master piece and the first documented establishment on the Gentleman, an art that is now lost.
To continue his legacy we have created a symbol of the modern man who practice the heritage of a gentleman.
This man is the last to walk in a door, and the first to give up his seat. He is ever generous, not to see the smile on other people’s faces, but because it is in his nature.
BRATHWAIT目前有3个系列:
我最后相中的是这一款:

Case: 40 mm wide and 7,5 mm tall (1.57 x 0.26 inch).
Dark Italian top grain leather strap (40 mm case): 20 mm wide, 24 cm long (0.78 x 9.44 inch).

The Horse并不那么符合我口味。The Original表盘边缘太宽;The Classic很漂亮,但下方那个是秒针吗,我觉得有些多余;The Stone很时尚;
D-Series表盘看上去密密麻麻的。

丹麦品牌Skagen
Skagen是丹麦的一个牌子。喜欢下图这一款,不过,已经有很长时间不使用很复杂的东西了。

The 5TH,有3个系列NEW YORK CLASSIC, MELBOURNE MINIMAL和TOKYO。我只看中那款NEW YORK CLASSIC Upper East,但还是觉得表盘边缘太宽。
