Mens Watches

For some people, fitting in is their number one goal. These sensible folks are the ones who make a point of never rocking the boat, and as a result are often successful and happy. But for some people, living entirely inside the lines was never really an option. For these individuals, being on the cutting edge isn’t just something they’re fond of, but something they need to really be themselves. This extends to music, movies, television the internet, and above all fashion. Being at the forefront of everything certainly has its advantages, and for people such as this, Marc Ecko watches are a brilliant idea.

What We Love about Marc Ecko

For those that like to live on the edge of fashion, this designer is a perfect way to keep your finger on the pulse. Far from just a watch designer, this company is responsible for a full fledged empire that includes all aspects of fashion and design. This company both follows and creates lots of trends in the world of fashion. That translates to you buying into a lifestyle just as much as a product. Plus, you’ll get all the newest designs before other designers start imitating. That means that by wearing these timepieces, you’re making the statement that you have seen what’s next, and already have it on your wrist.

More than just hype, Marc Ecko watches are committed to giving people a new and different way to find out what time it is. The current pirate line is a great example. Featuring a menacing skull and cross bones in relief on the face, the only way to tell the time on one model is to peer into the skull’s patched eye. Another rather elegant piece shows a beautifully colored pirate’s tattoo in brilliant detail. Of course there are also designs that are a little more main stream, but in every case you’ll feel and know that you’re wearing a fresh and trendy design.

Some Things We Don’t Like about Marc Ecko

Of course, high fashion is for some a two edged sword. While we really like almost all of the Marc Ecko designs we looked at, it must be noted that they’re not really for everyone. Those who want classic elegance in a familiar package aren’t going to find it here. While this designer certainly makes exquisite upper end designs, they all have a bit of panache that sets them apart. For many, this is the exact reason why this brand is so immensely popular. For others, it might be something to consider before buying.

History of the brand

The brand started as a fashion company with six t-shirts and some spray paint in 1993, by the man of the same name. In the ensuing 15 years, they’ve grown from a single man and his friends to a massive worldwide fashion company, with dozens of different lines. This includes not only men and women’s fashion, but even a line of skateboard equipment. Almost more well known for his social experiments, the famous designer truly made himself a part of the world stage when he bought Barry Bond’s record-breaking 756th home run ball. The designer asked people from around the world to vote, and then followed their advice to brand the ball with an asterisk before donating it to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
