Wear one watch with jeans and another with evening wear. If you are looking for a new watch to add to your collection, check out what your favorite celebrity is wearing for ideas. Here are some of their favorite watches:

Harrison Ford keeps it classy with a Breitling Aerospace. This water resistant piece with a cool titanium finish is a classic, versatile piece that can take you from lunch around the corner to the red carpet.

There are countless options when choosing a watch, and the choices can be overwhelming. Here is a simple guide to the four basic different types of watches that will make it easier to choose the best watch for you.
The first option is a dress watch. The features that distinguish this type of watch are simple straps, gold accents, a plain bezel and a simple dial and watch hands. Dress watches are good for everyday wear if your style is classic and you are looking for a basic, quality watch to keep time and complement your outfit.

The second option is a sports watch. These are characterized by a heavy bezel and a face with lots of markings, big hands and thick straps. They can come in different colors and have leather straps, but are usually silver with bracelet-style straps, although gold can sometimes be found. Sports watches are good if you want a more hip, heavy look that is still classic but bolder than a dress watch.

The third option is a designer watch that is unique and sure to turn heads. This is a good option when you want to stand out and wear a watch that is different and more of a fashion statement than a timekeeper. This Hamilton Ventura’s face is unlike any other and can function as the center of your look.

Finally, you can choose a jewelry watch. These watches, as expected, have lots of jewels and are usually for special occasions. Like designer watches, they are primarily a piece of decoration as opposed to a timekeeper and can be the focus of an outfit.

Whatever your style and need for a watch, there is sure to be a style that fits you!
