Watches have always fascinated me, and I understand their allure as one of the most coveted accessories. Whether for luxury collectors or the general public, a timepiece is an essential element of personal style. Recently, I had the opportunity to review two watches from Kenneth Cole – a Titan-licensed brand – and I was impressed by what I found.
Kenneth Cole Women's Two-Tone Stainless-Steel Watch
The Kenneth Cole Women's Two-Tone Stainless-Steel Watch is a perfect blend of elegance and practicality. It features a precise quartz movement, a fluted bezel and a beautiful blue dial beneath. This dial is adorned with Roman numerals and diamond hour markers, which add a luxurious feel and enhance the readability of the watch. A convenient date window positioned at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality. The two-tone bracelet strap, combining silver and rose gold hues, complements the blue dial and adds a feminine allure. This strap is secured with a push-button clasp closure, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit on the wrist. Encased within a 36mm case, it is water resistant up to 3 atm and is completed with a push button clasp to ensure a secure fit on the wrist.
This watch eschews the label's typical ethos – a refined and elegant feel. Ensuring versatility and a true sense of timelessness, it is crafted from stainless steel and has a striking blue dial that's topped with genuine diamond hour indexes, reflecting the house's passion for all things regal. In terms of design, it's light, perfect for everyday wear and more compact. The dainty rose gold and silver bracelet style strap adds a feminine allure and the diamonds make it a tad formal. What's more? The two-tone stainless-steel bracelet elevates the watch's look, making it versatile for both casual and formal settings. Whether paired with a white shirt and jeans for a casual outing or a structured pantsuit for a boardroom setting, this watch is a classy addition to any look. Despite the drawback of the bracelet's lack of adjustment, the date window is a definite winner. We are swooning over this piece for its unbeatable price, versatile style, and sleek 36mm dial. Plus, that eye-catching two-tone metallic strap and the genuine diamonds on the hours!
Kenneth Cole Men's Automatic Rose-Gold Tone & Silicone Strap Watch
Here's a watch you can take everywhere – even under the waterline. The Kenneth Cole Men's Automatic Rose-Gold Tone & Silicone Strap Watch is a must-have for watch aficionados. It boasts an automatic movement that ensures accurate and self-winding timekeeping and the experience of the automatic winding on your wrist is one that makes you appreciate the art of timepieces. It features a brushed bezel, a black silicone strap, a rose gold-tone case, and a skeletal dial that showcases the intricate mechanics of the watch. The rubber strap adds an athletic touch, while the steel case and black and gold dial elevate it to a contemporary and classic accessory.
Encased in a sturdy stainless steel case, this watch is built to last while maintaining a sophisticated appearance. The black silicone strap not only offers comfort but also adds a contemporary edge to the design. Secured with a pin-buckle closure, the strap ensures a secure and adjustable fit for the wearer. In terms of features, the watch is water-resistant up to 3 ATM, making it suitable for everyday wear, including exposure to rain and splashes of water. The case width measures 43mm, giving it a substantial presence on the wrist, while the strap width is 23mm, providing a balanced and proportional look.
Overall, this 42mm heavy-weight watch, with its silicone buckle strap, has a strikingly masculine look.
The skeletal dial and gold 42mm case make it a statement piece, not meant for everyday wear but perfect for occasions where you want to stand out. Despite its chunky design, it doesn’t weigh down the wrist, and the movement is seamless throughout the day.
Kenneth Cole watches are not novelty pieces but rather premium timepieces at affordable price points suitable for daily wear. Their design is on par with other fashion brands, offering both style and functionality. From the sleek and versatile women's two-tone stainless-steel watch to the bold and intricate men's automatic rose-gold tone watch, Kenneth Cole provides a range of options that cater to different tastes and occasions.
