Time to Get a Watch

Balancing school, work, an internship, and my social life can be quite difficult.  I spend my days running driving all around town and quite literally between two states and a district.  Admittedly my iPhone helps me wake up and tells me when my parking meter will expire, but I don't like using it to check the time five times an hour.  My solution?  These adorable watches from a company called TRIWA.

The name is actually an acronym (in some way or another) that stands for "Transforming the Industry of Watches."  This witty and honest quote from their website pretty much sums up their business: "We are deadly serious about being playful and unpretentious and we don’t mind being provocative in a creative, uplifting way."

While the TRIWA watches run at a high cost (roughly between $150-$300), I gravitate toward their classically modern styles and their guarantee of high quality.  I particularly like TRIWA because the company focuses predominately on building durable and creatively designed watches.  TRIWA isn't a spin off of a clothing or shoe line like Burberry or Michael Kors, rather built off of innovation in the watch industry.

My favorite watch is the one up top (also the most expensive, yikes).  Some less expensive alternatives are shown below.

What do you think?  Recommend any other high-quality brands?

    All of the watches look beautiful and I'm sure that even though they are a bit pricy the quality makes them worth it.
    Thanks for liking my most recent post!

    Definitely, and I think watches have more personality once they are worn-in a bit. Thanks for stopping by!

    That Hurricane one, likes. You should check out the ones at danielwellington.com. Though, I don't know if they're good quality watches, but they do look good! But then again, so do the alabaster. I'm not helping....
