When did metal watch bands come out?

Metal watch bands actually came out around the same time as the first wristwatches during the early 19th century. However, these first metal watch straps bore little resemblance to today’s bracelet bands. They were thicker and fastened via rivets or pegs rather than bracelet-style clasps. Modern-day bracelet bands first emerged during the 1930s and were popularized by luxury makers, including Rolex, which offered its Oyster and Jubilee watches in bracelet styles. During the 1950s, metal watch bands expanded throughout the market. In the 1970s, luxury makers like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet began offering bracelet watches that integrated their bands into their cases for a more unified look. Find a large collection of stainless steel watches and other watches on 1stDibs.

How do I know what band fits my watch?

To know what bands fit your watch, you can measure it. To do so, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure from the inner corner of one lug to the inner corner of the lug opposite it. Most makers measure strap width in millimeters. In addition to considering the size of your timepiece, you may also wish to measure the circumference of your wrist to ensure that your new strap fits comfortably. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of watches.

Can you change bands on Omega watches?

Yes, you can change bands on Omega watches. Omega sells replacements sized to fit the many models they produce. To change the band, follow the instructions included with your timepiece or take your watch to an authorized Omega dealer or repair shop. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of Omega watches.

How do I open a Rolex watch band?

To open a Rolex band you must first locate the flip-lock section of the bracelet. Directly above the small crown of the bracelet clasp is a small metal tab that will be present on most Rolex styles. To open the band, simply push the flip-lock above the crown. Shop a variety of authentic Rolex watches on 1stDibs.

How do you wear a bracelet with a watch for ladies?

To wear a bracelet with a ladies' watch, consider the look and fit of your timepiece. If your watch fits tightly at the wrist, selecting a looser bracelet, such as a bangle or a tennis bracelet, to wear above it can make a stylish pairing. In contrast, a looser watch might look appealing positioned above a close-hugging cuff. For a balanced look, choose a bracelet that is a different thickness than your watch. Think of two slender charm bracelets stacked above and below a chunky watch or a bracelet with large beads worn alongside a thinner watch. Metal finishes are another key consideration. If you want a more dramatic look, mix and match finishes, or select a bracelet in the same finish as your timepiece for a subtler statement. There really are no rules when it comes to layering watches, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to see what you like the best. Shop a diverse assortment of women's watches and bracelets on 1stDibs.

What bracelets go well with watches?

What bracelets go well with watches depends on what the timepieces look like. You can try matching materials. For example, pair a leather bracelet with a leather strap watch or a sparkling diamond tennis bracelet with a watch with diamonds on its case. Contrasting thicknesses is another way to get a pulled-together look. For example, you can stack skinny chain bracelets above and below a wide bracelet watch or pair a slim link-band watch with a chunky statement cuff. Beaded bracelets, rope bracelets and bangles can all complement the right watch as well. Don't be afraid to experiment with mixing and matching to see how different pieces in your collection look when layered together. Shop a wide range of women's watches and bracelets on 1stDibs.

How do I resize a Fendi My Way watch bracelet?

To resize a Fendi My Way watch bracelet, take your timepiece to an authorized Fendi dealer or service center. The brand cautions against trying to remove links yourself, as you could scratch or damage the metal without the proper tools. Find a selection of Fendi on 1stDibs.

Finding the Right Wrist-watches for You

Antique, vintage and luxury wristwatches have captured the hearts and minds of all manner of watch collectors as well as the watchmakers themselves — it's time you found your own.

Certain vintage watches for men and iconic watch designs for women are sought after not only because of their graceful proportions or innovative materials but also because of the illustrious histories of the houses that created them, histories that they stylishly embody.

Bulgari’s legendary Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional wristwatches.

Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.

In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.

Are you shopping for a wristwatch? It’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.

Questions About Watch Band Bracelet

When did metal watch bands come out?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024
Metal watch bands actually came out around the same time as the first wristwatches during the early 19th century. However, these first metal watch straps bore little resemblance to today’s bracelet bands. They were thicker and fastened via rivets or pegs rather than bracelet-style clasps. Modern-day bracelet bands first emerged during the 1930s and were popularized by luxury makers, including Rolex, which offered its Oyster and Jubilee watches in bracelet styles. During the 1950s, metal watch bands expanded throughout the market. In the 1970s, luxury makers like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet began offering bracelet watches that integrated their bands into their cases for a more unified look.

To know what bands fit your watch, you can measure it. To do so, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure from the inner corner of one lug to the inner corner of the lug opposite it. Most makers measure strap width in millimeters. In addition to considering the size of your timepiece, you may also wish to measure the circumference of your wrist to ensure that your new strap fits comfortably.

How do you wear a bracelet with a watch for ladies?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
To wear a bracelet with a ladies' watch, consider the look and fit of your timepiece. If your watch fits tightly at the wrist, selecting a looser bracelet, such as a bangle or a tennis bracelet, to wear above it can make a stylish pairing. In contrast, a looser watch might look appealing positioned above a close-hugging cuff. For a balanced look, choose a bracelet that is a different thickness than your watch. Think of two slender charm bracelets stacked above and below a chunky watch or a bracelet with large beads worn alongside a thinner watch. Metal finishes are another key consideration. If you want a more dramatic look, mix and match finishes, or select a bracelet in the same finish as your timepiece for a subtler statement. There really are no rules when it comes to layering watches, so feel free to experiment with different combinations to see what you like the best.

What bracelets go well with watches?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024
What bracelets go well with watches depends on what the timepieces look like. You can try matching materials. For example, pair a leather bracelet with a leather strap watch or a sparkling diamond tennis bracelet with a watch with diamonds on its case. Contrasting thicknesses is another way to get a pulled-together look. For example, you can stack skinny chain bracelets above and below a wide bracelet watch or pair a slim link-band watch with a chunky statement cuff. Beaded bracelets, rope bracelets and bangles can all complement the right watch as well. Don't be afraid to experiment with mixing and matching to see how different pieces in your collection look when layered together. Shop a wide range of women's watches and bracelets on 1stDibs.
