Finding the Right Wrist-watches for You

Antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.

Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.

Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.

Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.

In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.

Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.

Questions About Thin Band Watch
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024
    Metal watch bands actually came out around the same time as the first wristwatches during the early 19th century. However, these first metal watch straps bore little resemblance to today’s bracelet bands. They were thicker and fastened via rivets or pegs rather than bracelet-style clasps. Modern-day bracelet bands first emerged during the 1930s and were popularized by luxury makers, including Rolex, which offered its Oyster and Jubilee watches in bracelet styles. During the 1950s, metal watch bands expanded throughout the market. In the 1970s, luxury makers like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet began offering bracelet watches that integrated their bands into their cases for a more unified look.

    To know what bands fit your watch, you can measure it. To do so, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure from the inner corner of one lug to the inner corner of the lug opposite it. Most makers measure strap width in millimeters. In addition to considering the size of your timepiece, you may also wish to measure the circumference of your wrist to ensure that your new strap fits comfortably. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of watches.

    To open a Rolex band you must first locate the flip-lock section of the bracelet. Directly above the small crown of the bracelet clasp is a small metal tab that will be present on most Rolex styles. To open the band, simply push the flip-lock above the crown.
