THE MAN & HIS WATCH

- WORDS BY MELISSA FOONG ILLUSTRATI­ONS BY LIHUA

Besides telling time, a watch can reveal much about its wearer. Though it is an essential tool to track valuable time and helps keep the pace, wristwatch­es have fallen into a category where it is a product of desire and style—it is an artefact that marks the owner’s identity and personalit­y all together. With so many varieties in the market to choose from, each brand narrows down on expressing a unique identity—ultimately becoming the centrepiec­es within the wearer’s wardrobe

BEING DUBBED A STYLE ICON is simply consequent­ial to having a distinct personal style that speaks to your current place and time. It is someone who is looked up to by many people in terms of style and personalit­y. Though the term is mostly reserved for celebritie­s or to those with strong cultural influence, we believe it should be extended beyond its realm̶ especially when someone’s style embodies any sort of cultural zeitgeist. A perfect timepiece for the fashion icon would be the Slim d'Hermès La Source de Pégase. Just like how the wearer oozes charisma and confidence, the Hermès watch is all about essentials̶a simplicity mingling rigorous discipline with balanced aesthetics. Featuring a pegasus in bold and brilliant colours, born of the virtuoso skills of the enamelling and engraving artists̶the watch is a reflection of the owner’s individual­ity and unique personalit­y.
