Charriol Watches

Friday, August 14th, 2009 by yelena

Being one of the largest makers of the wristwatches in the entire world, Phillipe Charriol, the founder of Charriol is also one of the first few people who started creating own name boutiques. Charriol had stores worldwide, and with the advancement in technology, it is much easier now to get your hands on these luxury watches.

I am personally mesmerized by most of the watches by their unique appearance and texture of the straps. Here are three of my favorite!

Kucha

Kucha

For the ladies, i greatly recommend Kucha! Notice the claw-like design on the watch face?

Inspired by the African Savannah and a sense of freedom stirring the traveler. Tawny vistas, fierce warriors and proud nations with their identity still intact. Untamed instincts intermingle with the intoxicating, mysterious power of nature. A constant struggle, a world of danger: indomitable spirits, make your move! Nature at her wildest, where life is played out in a primitive, often cruel environment – only your intuition is between you and defeat. It’s time to use your claws …

Do you know that in Swahili, “Kucha” means claws? That’s how the watch got its name!

I am amazed at how the designer get the inspiration of this watch that truly reflects the mysterious power of nature. It does look dangerous and most importantly, unique. I really like the size of the watch face. So small that it looks good even on the skinniest hands or on the bigger wrists. I guess this has alot to do with the proportion of the watch face; with the size being small and squarish and the width being thicker.

On top of this, the dial is made of pink mother of pearl, which shines at every move with femininity. Even the straps seem to glow. The watch strap is made of Nil Perch leather, a kind of extremely huge fish, with a deploying buckle that shows only a sleek piece of metal when worn. Quartz movement is used, as well as a steel case. Charriol font is also engraved on the sides of the button.

If you dont fancy pink, the white Kucha looks just as pretty too!

Actor

Kucha is meant for the ladies but this Actor is unisex.

A collection of watches, launched in 1997, immediately recognizable with a case, engineered from a solid stainless steel block, fastened by four apparent screws and an adjusting and setting mechanism adorned with a shackle.

I like the details of the watch; it really reflects on how thoughtful the designer is, how much effort is put into creating this watch, making it exclusive and different. The shackle, especially, is totally unexpected. Loving the way how classy this particular watch looks like, the contrast between the black dial and arabic silver numerals and the crocodile skin leather strap. Completed with Quartz movement and steel case, this is definitely staying with you for years!

Timeless, classy, unique, detailed, high quality. What more do you ask for?

The Force

The Force

The Force is one of the Charriol watches Apple Bazaar is carrying. Featuring an oval dial horizontally positioned at the heart of a tonneau-shaped structure with elegantly discreet blued screws on the bezel, The Force steel watch collection expresses its sporting chic profile for females. Its other unique factor is the mother of pearl dial and contrasting colors of the numbers for both the men and the women. It’s not the usual identical couple watches you see in common shops. The male watch features prune colored numerals and the ladies in sea green.

Also, to express masculinity and femininity, the watch face for the male is made bigger and thicker in width while the ones for the females are thinner, more delicate looking and smaller in size.
