Show That You Care With Designer Watches

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Sometimes, you simply have to go all out to make an impression. Regular watches are all well and good, but if you really want to show that special someone that you care then designer watches will be the only option.

Designer watches make the perfect gift for that truly special occasion. Perhaps you’ve got an important anniversary coming up, maybe a milestone birthday’s approaching or perhaps you’re just looking for an upmarket Christmas present – whatever your reasons, opting for designer watches would be the perfect way to go.

Choosing designer timepieces really shows how you feel about that special someone in your life. They’ll be thrilled to think that you’ve gone to that much effort to find them something that they’d really like, and while regular brands are always an option there’s something about designer versions that offers that little bit extra.

It doesn’t have to stop there either – if you really want to convey your true feelings, you could have the watch engraved. This is an incredibly popular choice for special occasions, letting you give the recipient something that’s truly unique and heartfelt.

As you can see, designer watches really are a fantastic way to show that you care. They’d make the ideal gift for your loved one and you’re sure to see the appreciation, but you’re going to need a fantastic selection to choose from before you can make your decision. That’s why you need to come to us here at ROX, because with so many designer timepieces on offer we’re sure we’ll have the perfect gift just waiting for you. Why not see for yourself?

Timeless Gift

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

It’s a fact of life that some people are notoriously difficult to buy presents for. Eventually you whittle down the options and are usually left with tedious practical items like socks, wooden pasta spoons or those little foam pads to kneel on when gardening! Such a troubled mind is unlikely to think the answer lies in jewellery, but here it is – watches.

They say “time waits for no man” (or woman), so the best we can do is keep track of it. Mobile timepieces have become a mainstay of our culture. The first “clock-watches” to be worn were around in the 1500’s, though these were magnificently heavy and inaccurate, and tended to serve more as ornamental jewellery than anything – very different to the range ROX can offer you online!

Gents Watches

The wristwatch holds court as the most commonplace item of everyday jewellery for many men. Covering the bases of fashion and practicality, classic designer watches can last a lifetime. One of the main decisions you make will be strap material. Most popular are leather, stainless steel, canvas or rubber.

Ladies Watches

A woman may own thirty eight pairs of shoes, but she probably only wears one watch regularly. A well-chosen watch by one of our partners, for example, Armani jewellery, is a beautiful symbol to enjoy every day. Think carefully about her lifestyle and taste before you buy, and if in doubt go for something classic.

After all, who wouldn’t like to keep a favourite present in sight round the clock!

Time To Invest?

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

For women, investment in jewellery presents an eclectic treasure hunt through bracelets, necklaces, broaches, diamond earrings and so on. But for a gentleman the variety can seem a little scarce (unless you favour the B.A.Baracus-in-the -A-Team look) and perhaps you’ve written-off the notion of a jewellery investment. Well stop the clock because it could be time for you to invest in a quality designer watch.

A stylish gent’s watch is a good investment and statement of style, whilst essentially being a practical item of jewellery. So how do you choose? Think of the wristwatch as being akin to a brand new car – potentially highly expensive and instantly depreciative in market value. However, buy the right car (this is the key!), care for it, maintain it, invest in it and reap the reward in the future. Similarly, a well-chosen, high quality watch can (with appropriate care and preservation) bring you a tidy return on your investment.

Watches are not commonly bought for their immediate return on market value. A good men’s watch from one of our partners, Armani jewellery for example, will commonly be passed on down the family line or worn for a lifetime before a sale is considered.

A universal issue of reduction in value is supplying a watch without its original box and papers, so take care to store them carefully.

Be patient. Where investment is concerned, timing is key, so above all enjoy a lifetime of wear out of your classic timepiece.

GLAM goings on

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

What a whirlwind week we’ve had here at ROX – it’s been go, go, go at GLAM in the City and over the weekend our Victoria, Emma and Donna got to spend a lot of time with Aunty Gok – the man himself Gok Wan. And just like every other woman at GLAM in the City – they fell in love with him!

ROXGok

ROX was the official jewellery sponsor of The Scottish Sun’s Miss Scotland 2010 and we were showcasing some of our hottest new pieces at fashion shows throughout the weekend from designers including ToyWatch, Monica Vinader, Thomas Sabo and Links of London.

We had lots of gorgeous ROX products backstage for for the stylists to work with and Gok took quite a shine to our ROX Viva bracelets – he even decided to wear one of our blinging Gc Chronograph watches throughout the day!

It was a full on weekend and backstage was crazy with stylists, models, make up artists, Miss Scotland finalists and of course Gok but it was absolute ball and the shows looked fantastic – if you were there we hope you had a great time too!

The new Miss Scotland, the gorgeous Nicola Mimnagh will go on to star on our next advertising campaign and we’re thrilled to have her on board – she’s an absolute beauty and we can’t wait to work with her!

Love,

ROX

The Origins Of The Wristwatch

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Wearing a wristwatch is something we men take for granted, but it hasn’t always been the case. Less than 100 years ago, men carried pocket watches, whilewristlets, as they were called at the time, were regarded as Ladies Watches. Watches of this kind were considered nothing more than a passing fad than a serious timepiece, and it is thought that watchmakers dismissed them as well, believing that, because of their size, they could not be accurate, nor withstand the everyday knocks and bumps they would receive. Because of this, very few companies produced watches in quantity, but this started to change in the nineteenth century, and it was down to the military for this reassessment of Mens Watches.

Pocket watches were clumsy to carry and thus difficult to operate while in combat situations, so soldiers fitted them into primitive leather straps so they could be worn on the wrist, thereby freeing up their hands during battle. It is believed that the German Imperial Naval used wristwatches as early as the 1880s, which they wore on their wrists while synchronising naval attacks and firing artillery.

Mens watches have come along way since those days, and there is a fantastic range of gents watches available today, from the ordinary functional watches through to Designer watches. If you are thinking of buying Mens watches online, take a look at the great selection here at ROX. You will also find a superb range of Diamond Jewellery, from Diamond Rings to Trilogy Rings and much, much more.

The Advantages Of Modern Jewellery

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Modern jewellery has undergone many changes in terms of the design, materials and technology that is incorporated in their manufacture.

For example, yellow gold is no longer the most popular metal for settings and jewellery. The growing popularity of expensive titanium means that the more affordable white gold is becoming more popular as a substitute.

Jewellery is not immune to trends and changes in politics and society. New awareness of the ethics of diamond mining – illustrated by Leonardo Dicaprio in the film Blood Diamond – means that consumers are more discerning and questioning about where their diamond jewellery is coming from.

One of the most interesting developments in modern jewellery design and technology takes place in the field of watches design. Once upon a time, it would be that your new fancy watch would stop working. You would have to make a trip to the jewellers or the watchmaker to have the battery changed. It wasn’t an expensive affair – more of a nuisance.

This is no longer the case with many of the more modern watches which don’t run on batteries, but on kinetic energy created by the movements of your body while you wear the watch. The designer watches turn the kinetic energy into electrical energy, meaning you have eco-friendly watches which never need batteries changing or winding up. They are also able to store energy and put themselves to sleep, thus saving energy; re-setting themselves when movement begins again.

Concern for the environment has an impact of every area of our lives – including jewellery design – and it will be interesting to see how jewellery and watches develop over the next decade.
