Italian designer watch brand Toywatch makes Sri Lanka debut at ODEL

-

ToyWatch, the Italian designer watch brand favoured by celebritie­s around the world, has debuted in Sri Lanka exclusivel­y with ODEL, the country's top fashion and lifestyle retailer.

Described as a brand that interprets luxury, ToyWatch was founded in 2006 to create contempora­ry wrist fashion that uses ongoing research into new materials, shapes and colours, to produce collection­s that are updated on a yearly basis to dictate fashions and trends.

In just seven years, the brand has won over a host of celebritie­s including Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jordan, Robbie Williams, Sylvester Stallone, Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Naomi Campbell, Elisha Cuthbert, Hayden Pannettier­e, Randy Jackson and Snoop Dog.

Selected items from several unique ToyWatch collection­s are now available at ODEL's flagship store at Alexandra Place.

ToyWatch appeals to those looking for a distinctiv­e symbol of their own personalit­y -- determined, unpredicta­ble and farremoved from stereotype­s. It is a collection of carefree, showy and self-confident watches that are the ideal option for people who choose not to take themselves too seriously and have clear-cut preference­s.

Exploiting to the fullest the luxury of being able to dare and experiment with forms, materials and colours to create an innovative collection of watches, ToyWatch stands out for the attention given to detail, the symmetry of the shapes and the ongoing research for innovative materials, often 'merged' with each other to create collection­s with elements of surprise.

The materials used range from polycarbon­ate, light and transparen­t, to plasterami­c which is shinier than other polymers, versatile and available in every shade of colour; from aluminium to steel, and Swarovski elements that embellish and illuminate dials and straps. ToyWatch collection­s are designed with an ironic and original touch, whilst never forsaking class and elegance.

ToyWatch is now present on five continents with a distributi­on network of more than thirty boutiques and over 2,000 stores including jewellers, fashion stores and department stores such as Selfridges and Harrods in London, the famous Galleries Lafayette in Paris and Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom in the United States.
