Mixed doubles: watches and bracelets belong together

When it comes to jewellery, I'm not in favour of either or: I always want "de Foifer und s'Weggli".

After my FlikFlak phase at a very young age, I never wore a watch again. I wonder if it's because, unlike my friends, I didn't get a special chronometer for my confirmation? I don't know. In any case, I was never a watch wearer. Why should I be, I always have my mobile with me anyway. And I can't afford the timepieces I'd like to have anyway.

Lately, however, I've found that I still like an affordable wristwatch. I wonder if it's because I often see them together with bracelets, which I like to wear in all kinds of variations. They look particularly pretty with a timepiece.

Mix & Match

Do you like gold, silver, leather or rose gold? Perfect, there are no limits to what you can combine. Grab a watch and bracelets. I'll show you my favourite combinations here.

You don't necessarily have to pair gold with gold or silver with silver. The aim is to find a common denominator. In addition to the metal, this can be a splash of colour such as the dial, which the bracelet picks up on, or you can focus on a colour range such as navy and light blue.

The more delicate the piece of jewellery, the easier it is to create this look, as the bracelet can be draped beautifully around the watch. A cuff, i.e. an extremely wide bracelet, wants to stand alone in the spotlight.

My favourite variation is also the simplest. Take a plain bangle with no frills and pair it with a watch. That's it. [[productlist:5929458,8721045]]

Multiple bracelet
The lazy man's method works well if you want to get the most out of it with little effort. There are multi-piece bracelets that combine several chains but still only have one clasp. [[productlist:9855323,8990592]]

With this rose gold combo, one of the biggest jewellery and fashion trends at the moment, you'll be in tune with the times. The watch and filigree bracelet harmonise tone on tone. [[productlist:9922014,6419704]]

All good things come in threes
Never change a winning team, right? You can go all out with an additional bangle to match the perfect duo. How about a leather or braided hippie bracelet for a change? Three is not always one too many. [[productlist:5936137,8990564,5964095]]

Of course, this trend is not just for women. If you like wearing leather or Buddha bracelets with wooden beads, you can also show them off with your chronometer. [[productlist:9923351,8902479]]
