Keep ticking right

Choose your watch carefully as it spells style and personal taste.


TODAY, WATCHES are not mere time carriers. They spell your style and personal taste.

The Swiss made Tag Heuer forms a part of the `sporty line.' The sportive Omega with its technical attributes made of non- allergic titanium/tantalum forms a perfect part of this story.

Casio-Baby G is shock resistant. It is water resistant as well, and has a memory function, which facilitates saving eight character names and also phones numbers. This time machine is available in tones of blue, pink, gray and yellow.

To sport the new international look on the wrist, lay your hands on FasTrack by Titan. With patterned leather straps, straps in PVC, rubber and mesh, this watch has what it takes to make a `timely' statement.

Titan has also launched a funky collection, which throws light on interesting dial shapes, straps and rotating bezel rings. Also, Espirit casual wear talks of interesting variations in style and design.

Apart from the robust, big-size timekeepers, paper-thin watches are also ticking fast under the fashion canopy. Skin collection by Swatch is a line of world's thinnest watches with the case thickness as less as about 3.9 mm. Patterned dials and straps are also indicated high on style charts. Patterns of Lord Ganesha can be seen on the faces of watches by many brands, Indian and international.

For a more formal look that takes you into the evening, check out ranges such as Insignia, Regalia, Classique and Raga by Titan. Other brands such as Chopard, Piaget, Carter, Omega, Longines, Tissot and Rado lend an elegant and refined look.

Time machines have also been exposed to the winds of change. Waterproof, snap watch is one such example. It talks of a style concept with a changeable battery in a slim case attached to a PVC bracelet having a snap to put on. A digital watch as a slim zipper puller can be attached to any zipper end lending a modern appeal. `Suunto' brings to the forefront a brand name, which is said to be the innovator of a wrist top computer!
