Well, winter will be upon us in the northern hemisphere soon, so I can't wait for them to come out with a whole line of jackets, overcoats, and sweaters too!

Um, ah, ahem. No thanks.

That said, I do believe it is accepted within certain fashion circles to wear ones watch on the outside of the sleeve. I recall seeing pictures of Gianni Agnelli with his watch over his cuff.

I'm fairly certain someone's come up with something like that, but I don't visit that kind of website.

Yup! Here the pic is:



It DOES look silly, doesn't it??

The story behind the way Mr. Agnelli (former CEO of Fiat motorcars) wore his watch like this is that he did not like sweat on the inner side of his bracelet. I don't think he needed to brag about his watches

it's a great gimmicky idea ...and the shirt itself is probably well made. but the idea of flaunting my wristwatch puts me off. no matter how awesome is one's watch , i dont think i can justify wearing it.
just my 2 cents... whatever float your boat really ...
for me ...it's all about being discreet

Didn't Stallone do that in the 80's?

I guess it would be good for athletes who juice. You never know what size your arm will be, so why not size it for your shirtsleeve.

I wouldn't buy it either. It probably has a hefty price tag for it too. I'd rather use that money somewhere else like towards my next Rolex!

I guess that'd be a good way to hid my NATO band around the NATO haters on here...right?

But damn, that's just stupid.

Hi Bo,

No problem at all that you posted!



Just wanted to note that this concept is being pushed by at least a couple of different vendors.

I sure hope it doesn't catch on!
