Fashion Fixation: La Mer Watches

I confess, I'm not a watch person. I haven't owned one in 15 years and really had next to zero interest in them until I saw this watch on Pinterest. 

I was like what?! A bracelet/leather wrap/cuff/watch all in one? Sign me up. You know how much I love cuffs, so I was all over this. La Mer was offering a 20% off discount code last weekend so I decided to make my move. 

After scouring the site, I decided the St. Germain Crystal Chain would be the best fit for me as I wear earthy or neutral colors and gold toned jewelry almost exclusively. I really like this watch--the leather is very soft and supple and molds perfectly to my arm.
I love the rose gold metal
and the studs of course
you can intertwine the chains or position them to the outside like I did in the first picture
the flipside

This watch is surprisingly light and comfortable and the metal hasn't irritated me at all. I've also been very happy with La Mer's customer service. I placed my order last Saturday morning and received the watch yesterday afternoon from across the country in California.

They definitely have a great variety of colors and styles from which to choose.

Here are some of my favorites:




I'm obsessed with these things! 
I also found some other great La Mer options at Nordstrom, Shopbop and Revolve Clothing.

Do you own any La Mer watches? Which of these styles do you like best? Do you wear an everyday watch? Who makes it?

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

  1. What a lovely watch - I love the look of layered chains and wraps - and this watch makes it a no-brainer LOL!

    I looked through the website - and I think yours is my fave, but I also like:

    Turquoise Crystal Slate Gray with Rose Gold Case Wrap

    Ballet Slipper Pink Patent Odyssey Wrap Watch

    I wear my rose gold MK watch ALL the time (even sleep with it on) - I only take it off when I shower LOL! It felt heavy on my wrist at first, but now I don't notice it at all...and I love all the rose gold tones in it. Before that I used to wear my Longines Dolce Vita watch in silver with a rose gold face.

  2. Ooh Ella, I love the ballet pink and the turquoise slate gray--those are both awesome. It's wild how both turquoise and light pink match just about everything.

    So funny, I LOVE the MK rose gold watch. I've seen it before and have thought that's a sharp looking watch. The rose gold makes it so feminine, imo. Great choice as always--bet it looks beautiful with your Bal bag :)

  4. I don't own one, but love them! Ideeli had a special going on the other day- You could buy a gift certificate for $50, WORTH $100! Towards the purchase of one of their watches. I didn't get it because I need to watch my money but what a great deal!

    I really like the one you bought because it's pretty neutral, but am dying to make my own with the little owl charm! You know I love me some owls!!

  6. These watches are beautiful. I especially like the orange one with the gold chains. Would love to include a MK watch to my jewelry collection some day...just need to decided on which one heh.

  7. Absolutely love these watches. I would have such a hard time picking a color though, all are so pretty.
    I wear my MK watch with white leather band every single day. I wouldn't mind having a rose gold one too :)

  8. The teal watch is tooo die for. The white one is also cute.
    Lately I've been switching between a silver toned big faced Guess watch and a two-toned MK chronograph with a mother of pearl face.

  9. Hi Andi- your watch is stunning. You picked well and the color is so versatile, loving it! Like you, i've never really owned a watch but have been thinking about it lately (mainly because I am late all the time). I will check out this La Mer site, although I can already tell you that i love the turquoise one pictured above. Thanks for the post!

  10. I know, it's so hard to choose! I also just found some really cute ones on shopbop's website, love the navy blue one especially. I really like that these are more like jewelry, the mix and match box sets are convenient for that too!
