Mens Watches

What really makes a mens watch desirable is sometimes hard to put your finger on. Style is naturally important, as is workmanship and quality. For some people, the latest features are what really matters, or the durability necessary to be a good sports accessory. But if there was one thing that most people would say they wanted their timepiece to be, it’s cool. The only problem is that coolness is often hard to define and even harder to locate. Yet some designers seem to truly be able to manufacture cool, and that makes it a lot easier for those searching for the right accessory to set off their look.

Why We Love Tommy Hilfiger

Among American designers, there are few that can say that they’ve truly captured what it means to be cool in the same way that Tommy Hilfiger has. All of their designs give off a sense of reasonable yet passionate style that seems to make a casually emphatic statement. For more than 20 years, designing what was cool has been the mission of this designer, and in more ways than one, they’ve succeeded admirably. From simple timekeepers with timeless leather bands, to high tech chronographs with visible movements–everything this company does is stylish and hip. That means that you’ll never really be out of place when wearing one of this maker’s designs. It’s a great way to stand out without being audacious.

This lack of audacity is one of the things that really catches our eye about this brand. So many top fashion designers seem to be built around trying to reinvent everything. While there’s certainly something to be said for being an original, that doesn’t mean that classic styling and designs are too outdated to be relevant to us today. Tommy Hilfiger watches are a perfect example of this companies overarching theme: classic style with a twist. That means standard three eye chronographs, but with the eyes off center, and one larger than the other two, thus updating an old favorite just enough to make it matter, more stylish–in short cool. We also really liked the fact that though these are fashion designs, they are still loaded with features and seem highly durable.

Some Thing We Didn’t Like about Tommy Hilfiger

There are unquestionably some great designs among these mens watches, but unfortunately there isn’t a huge variety of models to choose from. Unlike other makers which offer hundreds of different models, there are really only a handful to choose from, which is truly unfortunate considering how great these designs are. Generally speaking, we would like to see both more models, and more colors for the models they have. Also, this brand is primarily a fashion designer rather than a clock maker, which means that those who are looking for years of dedicated experience may want to find another brand, even if that means sacrificing on coolness.

The History of the Brand

Tommy Hilfiger the man first became interested in fashion when working in a hippie clothing store in the late sixties. After discovering what would become his life’s work, the young designer devoted himself to fashion full time, and his first collection came out in 1986. Starting with men’s clothing, this brand quickly became known for their classically updated styles. Now, this clothing brand is known round the world, both for their innovative designs and their corporate responsibility. Expansion is the name of the game with this company, which not only markets clothing and accessories, but also home furnishings.
