The Watch Edit | There’s a Watch Made For Everyone
A few years back, while flipping through a magazine, I came across a quote which read, “Finding a great watch is like finding the perfect husband. Pick a great one and you are sure to keep it with yourself forever.” Well, I agree with every word said here. On most days, a watch is the only accessory that I swear by. I personally believe that the right watch can really make a difference to your overall look. I have a decent collection of watches which I wear everyday, including my go-to Swatch Irony, which compliments both formal and casual outfits very well.
We all know that the sale season is just around the corner. This time, instead of running around frantically to get a dress at 60% off (which I know you will, eventually), think about investing in a beautiful watch. If not for yourself, watches make for a great gift too. And for those who are not too keen on visiting a store, most well known e-commerce sites do have great deals on popular brands. Plus, the return policy process is quite smooth too. Online shopping in India for the win, baby!
For those girls who can’t make their mind over the endless number of styles, colours and variety, we have got a list of our favourite watches this season for fans, which is sure to sort out your dilemma. Well, there is a ‘watch’ made in heaven for everyone.
The ‘Sporty’ Girl
You clearly love big watches and that is not a lie. I am a self confessed Sporty Chic look fan and I can never stop collecting watches with big, fancy dials. Oh, and chronograph watches with sporty details are everything.
Our pick: Michael Kors Women's Bradshaw Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch
Bon Chic
Lovers of the good ol’ classic watch have tons of options to choose from. Be it a Swarovski Aila Day in Pink Leather Straps, a simple yet stunning Marc by Marc Jacobs Women's Baker Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch with Black Leather Band or the ultimate epitome of Luxury - a rose gold Cartier; take your pick and stay true to your classy style.
Our pick: Clé de Cartier Watch
Style Princess
You often make a statement in your gorgeous floral dress or the right pair of shoes. Someone who always manages to keep her best foot forward. You keep it minimal on the accessories front, letting your statement watch do all the talking. Let your watch collection grow by choosing from Chopard, Tag Heuer or Titan Raga’s latest collections.
Our pick: Chopard Happy Sport 30mm automatic Rose Gold watch
The Tech Geek
For those who are always on the go. Those who love a slice of tech in everything and anything. The market is filled with smart watches in almost every colour and size. Right from tracking your fitness activities for the day to changing wallpapers and of course, checking the time, the smart watch is your one stop-shop for everything.
Our pick: Apple Watch Sport 38mm Rose Gold Aluminium Case with Lavender Sport Band

For the love of time | Calvin Klein Watches A/W 2015 collection
Watches and I are inseparable. If there is any accessory that I swear by (apart from my sunglasses), its gotta be a watch. You must have noticed how most of my outfits always have a watch. Honestly, I feel incomplete without a watch on my right wrist. While most believe that it is just an added accessory in a decade where everyone is used to checking the time on their phones, I believe in the old school theory. For me, a classy watch completes your outfit and is rightfully the most important accessory. Opt for the right watch and you will never go wrong. And today, the variety is huge, when compared to what our previous generations had to choose from. Recently, I was invited by Calvin Klein to be a part of their CK watches 'CK Minute' A/W 2015 collection launch in India. For someone who can't leave her home without a watch, it was like being in a watch wonderland. From stunning chunky pieces, monochromatic digital watches, colorful summer inspired variety to sports watches in fun colors, classy steel rose gold watches and dainty jewelry as part of the collection, there was something for everyone. There were a few pieces that caught my attention and I just couldn't take my eyes off those beautiful pieces. Each so unique and versatile, that you won't have to worry about the outfit that goes well with it.
Take a look at the Dancebee's Top 4 must haves from the latest collection, which includes a watch for every occasion.
Calvin Klein Lively: Everybody loves a bright, happy yet subtle watch, that is available in a variety of colors. This orange watch from the Calvin Klein Lively range is perfect to add a dash of summer sunshine in every season. This simple and elegant watch is perfectly designed for everyday wear. Pair it with your outfit from day to night. The piece is extremely versatile and will go with almost every look. For those with a good budget and massive savings, pick one in each color (they are available in six colors including orange, light blue, khaki, white, beige and brown). You won't be disappointed! As for me, I am in love with this orange beauty with silicone strap.
Calvin Klein Senses watch with CK breathe jewelry: When it comes to polished, classic stainless steel watches (or even the ones with a big dial), I swear by the rose gold hue. This particular color has its own charm and is perfect for evening events or formal parties. I love how the Calvin Klein Senses range has this elegant watch in seven varieties, which includes two dual tone watches. Opt for the silver or silver - rose gold combination, if you are looking for a simple watch perfect for everyday wear, especially for important meetings. The CK Breathe jewelry range, with layered elliptical form inspired by the sound waves, includes a necklace, finger ring, bracelet and ear hoops, which look glamorous. I loved the dual tone necklace, which can spruce up even the most basic tee or dress in the world.
Calvin Klein Earth: Who said watches for men are only meant for the specified gender? Several women love swapping their dainty watches for chunky, sporty watches and often head to their husband, father or brother's wardrobe for more choices. I am a fan of big watches, and the Calvin Klein earth caught my attention at the right time (it also happens to be actress Diana Penty's favorite and we got a picture together while raving about the same watch). This urban and refined timepiece, which is also water resistant, features a coordinating dial and a textile strap, accented by a subtle (yet classy) 'Calvin Klein' logo at 12 o'clock. Available in four colors (dial & strap) - silver, khaki, navy blue & black.
Calvin Klein Period 3: Unfortunately, I missed out on getting to know more about this stunning rose gold watch. The only thing I remember is that the launch event guide (who showed us around and helped us in understanding the idea behind each range) informed us that this particular watch is from the Period 3 collection. Just one look at this beauty and I just couldn't leave without trying it on. The unique design, sophisticated mother of pearl white dial and gorgeous rose gold hue was enough to make this my most favorite watch from the entire collection. It is sleek, sturdy (not delicate at all) and can pass off as part of the arm party with other accessories on your wrist. For those who choose simplicity above everything, pair it with a crisp white shirt, blue denims, tan bag and a pair of tan sandals. One of the simple, classiest yet extremely elegant looks ever (and my favorite too).
While everyone at Team Dancebee has got their list of favorites ready and can't wait to get their hands on these beauties, you guys will have to wait a little more, before these gorgeous pieces from the A/W 2015 collection hits the Indian market! Psst.. we shall keep you posted once its here.

Luxury on my Wrist | Rado
Hello folks! It's that time of the month when rains lash across the city and the gloomy climate is forcing (most of us) to tuck under a comfortable blankie, with a hot cuppa in one hand and a beautiful book in the other. So, all of us can do with a little bit of sunshine, right? And what if I told you, it can be wrapped around your wrist, is extremely elegant and has just the right amount of bling. Well, the 'sunshine' that I am referring to here is not your usual, round ball of fire that you see up there, in the sky. It's a little beauty called the Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch, which I was introduced to during the #AllWhiteInRado event held at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.
Here's a glimpse of the lovely evening, where select bloggers from the city enjoyed a pleasant tete-a-tete with brand ambassador (the ever so gorgeous) Lisa Ray, over hors d'oeuvre, lip smacking main course, desserts and of course, our elegant stars of the evening - Rado watches.
I have been a self confessed fan of Rado watches since I was a teenager. Buying a classic beauty from their vast collection was and will always be considered as a moment of pride. Since decades, grandparents and parents have known to pass on the legacy (read - a Rado watch) to the next generation. In fact, I remember telling my dad couple of years back (in between adding stuff to my super long bucket list), that someday, I will collect enough money (with my hard work) to buy you, mom and myself this priceless beauty called Rado.

I must add, chatting with the lovely Lisa Ray was an absolute delight. She is extremely warm and added the perfect charm to this chic evening. And yes, she did talk about getting back to blogging very soon. I am definitely looking forward to that, and so should all of you. She is an amazing inspiration for every girl.
And as the wonderful evening came to an end (it was scheduled to be an hour long meet, but we just didn't realize how time passed away), all of us posed for a keepsake. After all, this stylish evening certainly deserved a photograph, that had all the beautiful ladies and debonair gentlemen posing with their favourite Rado watches.
Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch is an exclusive collection for women. It is a touch controlled watch in full ceramic, which can be controlled by the gentle touch and sweep of a finger (left for hours and right for minutes). The watch does not have a crown, which means - bye bye broken finger nails (I know a lot of people who struggle while changing the settings).
