Flipping through American Vogue back in 2004, I spotted the most amazing watch ever, designed by Geneva-based master watchmaker, Roger Dubuis. I love the strong symbolism of the red cross and this is much nicer than the $12.99 Target watch I’ve been wearing for the last two years, dirty faux-leather band and all! I tracked it down online and someone bought it for only $14,000.00!! A girl can dream, can’t she??

In more practical terms, these two brands have some viable options: 

Nixon watches: tough and well-designed

Nooka watches: space age fantastic!
