How to wear your Throne Watch this Autumn
Finding the right watch is a bit like finding the perfect partner; pick a great one and you’ll be in love forever. The four men (Travis Alexander, Zack Sears, Greg Mills and Joe Casale) behind Throne Watches have crafted a home grown watch collection of vintage faces paired with ‘Made in America’ leather bands that will capture your heart for an eternity.
The Throne story began with the men pulling their money, roaming New York jewellery stores – with the intent of tracking vintage watch faces – and ‘dressing them up’ in Zack’s East Village kitchen. Their successful operation moved from Zack’s kitchen to a pop-up, new studio and they presently manufacture from a Brooklyn loft where business has never been better!
At YCB we assure your style rating will boom with a killer Throne watch on your wrist. With Summer drawing to a close, we have paired their effortless designs with staple Autumn items to maximise the unisex charm of our new favourite watch.
Come the colder months, we are fans of sporting the boyfriend cardigan and there are various ways to achieve a crisp, bohemian city appearance with the Throne Raw band (handmade in Maine of Horween leather) and Casio faced watch. New York city dwellers hold similarities to London natives and with their original Raw leather band this cosy Autumn signature look becomes transatlantic.
When it’s not hot enough to brave the Autumn breeze without a jacket, but you don’t want to compromise your Summer dresses and glow– in comes the trusty leather jacket. Throne’s Classic band (sourced from American tanneries) is the perfect partner for your seamlessly cool leather look. After all, Danny Zuko and Sandra Dee had it nailed back in 1978 and as time ticks on we have never wavered over this fashion statement.
The popular cut-off, black boot shoe style and Throne’s Italian band (hand made in Italy from premium Italian calf leather) are as compatible as the wine and cheese combination. Throne uses special techniques to lend a vintage and worn vibe to the Italian band – injecting energy to the bleaker coloured boot and watch duo.
We love the inherent French seal of an oversized striped shirt; we even cast our minds to the French Riviera when Autumn raindrops fall on our heads. Throne’s Nato band allows you to chose more than one watch face; this changeable factor is suited for an existing oh la la appearance.
Throne have a lot of different watches in the works this year but are continuing to focus on the process of manufacturing their product – which they do so masterfully. It is 2015 so we cannot ignore the technology enthusiasts amongst us; Throne X Apple Watch (all bands are compatible with the Apple watch) is the latest band to be added to their line. To get around town with maximum efficiency and style a pair of Nike Air’s should be on the fashion agenda when sporting a Throne X Apple band.
