Happy New Year readers of www.igeeokafor.com. It has been a while since I've communicated with you all through this platform and I am so glad to be back sharing my experiences with you. It's a new year and of course, New year resolutions come with the package. I will tell you about one of my style resolutions which I am quite sure every one of you fashionistas have. This year, I want to make it a priority that I always experiment with color; Trying new things that I would not typically try.
Earlier this month, my friends over at The Barbarian Agency in New York gifted me with two very simplistic wrist watches from Breda. Prior to accepting the wrist watches, I was already familiar with the brand because their products are very popular on Jackthreads (an online menswear fashion store). I never purchased any of the watches because I was never really that much of a wrist watch devotee. It was something quite new and I knew immediately that I wanted to blog about it. I took some notes relevant to the brand and the wrist watches through the Breda look book, their website and blog. I discovered that the brand represents sophistication in a very simple yet eye catching way.
The Breda wrist watch collection ranges from $27.00 to $60.00. For a product of tremendous quality, I appreciate that it is being made affordable for the general public. Most especially, men around my age, younger and older. There are various selections that cater to multiple age groups. The particular wrist watch I am wearing in this post is a Breda 1653c. It is made of a simplistic silver dial with sun ray brushed detailing. The dark brown band is made of leather and it is complimented by the silver buckle clasp on it. The detail scheme of the wrist watch inspired the ensemble for this achromatic look.
What do you think about the Breda 1653c? What do you think about the achromatic look? How would you style yours? Let me know in the comments below.
