I’ve always loved rose gold, so I’m really enjoying the current popularity of rose gold accessories. I love my Sydney Evan Rose Gold Disc necklace (posted about here), and now Hubby has bought me the most beautiful rose gold watch…I really am in rose gold heaven!

I’ve been looking for a rose gold watch for a while – I think a lot of the current selection is inspired by Victoria Bechkam’s Rose Gold Rolex Daytona – isn’t it gorgeous?
I took some time to find the most suitable watch – I knew I definitely wanted both the band AND the watch face to be rose gold. Michael Kors oversize watches have been quite popular in the blogosphere – especially their metal and ceramic watches. After some research, I discovered that Fossil makes Michael Kors watches. They sell similar (but more affordable) versions of many MK watches through their own line.
US shoppers are SO lucky – there are so many amazing deals on watches – the MK5430 is on Amazon for $187.50 (although Saks has it at $250). I didn’t want to risk buying my watch online (due to cross-country servicing and warranty issues – as well as potential customs and duties), so we had to pay CAD$300 at Holt Renfrew.
The top two watches are Fossil brand watches, while the bottom two are MK watches.I’ve tried all four of these watches on. The Fossil watch with the crystal face (mini Riley
Even though I ended up buying a MK watch, if you can wear a larger watch face and just want the Rose Gold oversized look – I’d definitely look into the Fossil Stella. The MK5128 watch has a nicer sheen and finish up close – but the Fossil is $135 cheaper.
My other dress watch also has a rose gold face – it’s a Longines Dolce Vita watch bought 5 years ago. I think it’s a lovely contrast to my MK watch – small, delicate, silver-toned and square-shaped. I’m so grateful to have both these watches – and to my lovely hubby for giving me both! (P.S. I’m lovely to my hubby too LOL – I just finished doing his taxes – he HATES doing paperwork!)
What type of watch do you like to wear? Do you love Rose Gold as much as I do?
I like Man-watches the best. :3
Beautiful watches! I'm loving rose gold too. I just bought a rose gold watch a few weeks ago at a local boutique. It was only 28 dollars! I have yet to wear it though because I need to have some links removed. Yours is goregous!
I just got a new MK watch as well. I got gold though. I tried the rose gold one on, I was looking both the rose gold with the royal blue face and the rose gold version of the gold one I got with the little crystals. I thought they were beautiful but the gold suited me better. They are such beautiful quality watches I am sure you will get lots of wear out of yours 🙂
I have the MK Small Madison in rose gold and I LOVE it!
I love your watches! That's one thing I haven't really gotten into, I don't even own one! But I definitely admire them on others. I also am loving the rose gold popularity now, it's so feminine and lovely.
LOVE your watch! I actually looked at Fossil's Stella one last night at Macy's and it looks very much like MK…so I might end up getting it as it is a bit cheaper.
Yomi – I like the trend for chunky men's -inspired watches too.Noelle – I think the way I found your blog was googling for info about MK watches – I love your white one. I can't wait to see what your rose gold boutique watch looks like!Jennifer – It's so funny that we both picked up MK watches at the same time. I checked yours out on your blog – you made a really lovely choice!JCHokie – The Madison is such a pretty and sparkly watch!Andi – that's too funny that you don't even own a watch!!! But I guess with cell phones and all, they're not really essential anymore…still, I always need to wear one (I even wear mine while sleeping!)Lilly – the Fossil Stella really is a beauty – and considering they're made by they same company, you're getting the same look and quality for a lower price – a total deal! What colour will you get yours in?
Your watch is beautiful and so you! Though I can't afford an MK watch I love Fossil so maybe I can talk hubby into a new watch for our anniversary, lol.
Lindy – the Fossil ones really are lovely – and if you live close to a Fossil outlet – they sell BOTH Fossil and MK watches there 🙂
I adore rose gold…one of my faves! xo
