THE HORSE

Who doesn't love a classic leather watch with a pretty face? I am an avid watch-wearer and have been for many years. More recently however, watches have proved to be more than just a time telling device that sits on your wrist. They have also become serious fashion statements and currently sit in the jewellery or accessories category.

With the introduction of the Apple Watch I worry that beautiful, timeless, analogue watches will become a thing of the past. Yes a watch that can receive texts and calls and hold a calendar is super cool but theres something so beautiful and timeless about a classic watch.

I recently purchased this piece from The Horse. An Australian leather goods company run by Sydney couple Scott & Amy who started out in the shoe cobbler business. Originally making leather shoes they eventually delved into watches and have recently come out with other leather products. The face of the watch is a perfect statement size and the brushed gold goes perfectly with the gold jewellery I wear. It's reasonably priced and I wear it every single day! To the point where I have an awesome watch tan on my left wrist ;)
