Leather Cuff Watches

Leather cuff watches have been around for a long time, but only recently this fashion accessory has witnessed a tremendous surge in its popularity. Earlier, the leather cuff wrist watches were confined within some subcultures, like the Goth or the punk.

But today, they have become a style statement despite their casual look. The watches come in an array of colors and sizes, and allow the wearer to make an instant style statement. Moreover, they are quite durable, and come in a variety of styles designed for both men and women.

As mentioned already, leather cuff wrist watches come in a variety of colors, sizes, and patterns. They usually feature an analog watch face instead of a digital one. The watch face is attached to the leather cuff with some small straps, which are either snapped, riveted, or sewn in.

In general, the watch face comes in various shapes and sizes, such as round, angular, oval, square, and diamond-shaped. The cuff is usually wide and thick so as to support the watch face. This makes these watches quite noticeable, and an ideal accessory for making a bold fashion statement.

However, you can also find many simple watches as well, and so, it is up to you whether you like to go for the simple designs or the designs with strong details. Among the various styles and designs, a few have been observed to stand out in the crowd. For example, contrast stitching like white stitching on brown or black leather, is a hugely popular design.

Many men also like to go for the biker style, which features a very thick and black cuff embellished with spikes and studs. In addition to these, you can find some intricate designs, such as cuffs covered with a lot of stitching and weaving, as well as those with metal snaps, studs, and engravings.

Watches attached with hardware, like a metal lid adorned with skull, stag head, hearts, stars, or crossbones, are some other options to choose from. A cuff encrusted with jewels or precious stones can also look truly exquisite.

The trend of wearing a watch having a leather cuff is somewhat more popular among men. Men generally prefer to go for the wide leather cuffs. Some of the leather cuff watches can be quite wide, while others can be much slimmer. Typically, a cuff designed for men can be up to 2 to 3 inches in width.

Men can go for the wider cuffs for a casual look. However, a wider cuff can make your arm look a bit shorter. So, unless you have a long arm, you can go for a cuff of medium width.

Men are usually observed to go for the brown and black leather cuffs for their classic look. As far as the styles are concerned, you can choose from a wide range of styles, such as biker style, punk rock, or the retro style. You can also wear only the cuff on the wrist to get a completely new and trendy look.

In general, a watch with a thick and wide cuff can look really great with a pair of trendy, casual jeans, and a simple shirt or t-shirt.

Watches and leather cuffs designed for women tend to have a more feminine or dainty look. But these watches can be equally sophisticated and stylish like those designed for men. The designer watches for women typically feature a small watch face, and a smaller or thinner band. The watch face can come in different shapes, like round, oval, triangular, and square.

Women can choose from a wide range of colors, right from white, pink, blue, green, purple, to red. However, many women like to go for the black and brown cuffs as well. Some women and girls seem to prefer the bold designs created for men. However, the designs created for women are equally appealing.

Many leather cuff watches can be found to be adorned with beautiful patterns made on leather, while a few can be found to be encrusted with jewels and stones.

To sum up, leather cuff wrist watches can be an excellent fashion accessory for both men and women, and many of them are not very expensive. Apart from being a stylish wrist wear, the watches are quite long-lasting and durable. As we know, the watch face and the leather cuff are attached with small straps, for which both the parts can be easily separated.

Therefore, the watch part and the band can be easily replaced and repaired. Leather usually smells a lot, if it comes in contact with moisture. Therefore, it is better to not wear a leather cuff watch while exercising or performing any vigorous activity. If the cuff becomes dirty, you can use a mild leather cleaner to clean it.
