We are keeping it simple with this one for Fall - call it an ode to minimalism. Designers & co founders, Dory Isaacs and Jun Kobayashi, sourced this layered sunglass material to use as the watch case and the result is a unique boyfriend style statement piece. Smart and clean design to take you into the new season.
Side note: If you aren't into this color, there is a polished tortoise shell that is making it's way onto many of the TOKYObay guys and girls wrists here in the office & some fashion bloggers already. Just saying...
"This gorgeous watch is one of my faves, I'm obsessed with sleek darker hued watch faces this season. The southwestern feel of this one is cheeky but still sophisticated with the black face. I love it, I'd wear it stacked with dainty gold bangles, and a great red mani!"
*Like the matching bracelet Carlina stacks this watch with? Find it here.
"This Obi watch is amazing- the colors alone in the band are perfection. It can wrap around a few times so it doesn't even need extra accessories. I love a good wrap watch!"
*Like Carlina's matching Obi bracelet? Available here.
"There is an old-timey feel I really like about this watch. The hue on the face feels like there is a story behind it, like it was passed down from an older relative. That multi-textured band is so fun- perfect to wear for dressing up or down."
* If you like the pattern on this strap but not into the watch, check out this woven in Japan, made in America bracelet here.

Our new Fall Winter '13 collection launches August 15th so you will have loads of new styles to choose from.
We are all about layering...especially for our unpredictable San Francisco Summer. Double wrap watches mixed with our designer curated stacking bracelets & your own favorite pieces is a great way to accessorize. We collaborated with Jennie Lodge, of Going West, for our Spring Summer shoot. She styles the double wrap Duet with some pretty vintage inspired watches from our line with the dials taken out. We thought they looked cool as jewelry in their own right! For more double wrap good- ness & stacking ideas...click here.
There is nothing better than a classic time piece and this selection is full of watches with just that and a bit more. Agent is our biggest watch with a stainless steel 44mm casing & brushed IP plating with genuine buffalo leather strap. The Jazz is another simple but modern piece with large open dial and date feature with Italian leather strap. Holmes is a 17-jewel mechanical hand wind pocket watch with mineral glass viewing window in the front & back.

Silver metallics are here to stay for Summer and don't see any sign of tarnishing for FW'13. We styled our top selling Gaucho Metallic on the lovely Allergic to Vanilla blogger for a show stopping outfit topper that is both office chic & going out worthy.

We had the pleasure of recently shooting our FW'13 Collection with the lovely & stylish blogger, Carlina of Allergic to Vanilla. We shot on one of the hottest days we have had this year in an amazing warehouse space in San Francisco's SoMa district. Both Carlina and our handsome model, Derek, were good sports as we dressed them in woolen layers & jackets...A lot of powder was used and off camera fans! They managed to keep their cool throughout the day and look fantastic.
Our new collection will be available here next month so stay tuned...
