I love the history and fashion of a timepiece. Wrist watches and pocket watches are so classy. They have evolved over the centuries, changing with the improvement of technology. They have come so far from the spring-driven originals. But, some might say that they have passed their time, I would disagree.
Getting our time from a cell phone is just not the same as glancing at the hands of a working wrist watch. Watching the seconds tick away manually is somewhat of a calming notion for me. A movement of the hands, is a clear picture of just how precious time is. I enjoy this traditional way of telling time, and enjoy finding new brands of watches that keep my wrist displaying the latest and greatest designs, brands and mechanisms.
A watch that has been my go-to recently is a fun and fashionable timepiece from Rakani Designs. Rakani provided me a complimentary sample from their Fashionably Late Collection, in exchange for this review. I have been sporting the Stuck in traffic 32mm Swarovski Crystals with Black Steel case and Leather Band ever since.
About the Watch Collection
The Fashionably Late collection is designed to turn the negative notion of being late into a creative and elegantly fun concept through 6 unique watch designs. Each of the 6 watch designs embody a reason or excuse f why you could possibly be a little late, fashionably late. They say arriving late doesn’t have to mean you were irresponsible or careless… it could just mean you were stuck in traffic!
About Rakani Watches
Rakani began when the founder, Chirayu Patel gave his girlfriend a watch. Ideas sparked from there, and now Rakani designs meaningful, creative and relevant timepieces. Rakani hopes that people can relate to the unique watch themes, as well as have a artistic, quality watch.
My Experience with Rakani
This unique watch is fun because of it’s deeper meaning. Since it has the Swarovski Crystals during rush hour, it typically would mean I am stuck in traffic. But as you might know, I am a flight attendant and are rarely stuck in traffic (lucky me!). But I do get delays with my job too. So when I am sitting on the airplane with a ground delay of 30 minutes, I can just look at my watch and remember it is no big deal! “Hey I am just thankful I am not stuck in traffic!” I mean, let’s be honest, there is no faster way to get from LAX-ORD.
Beyond the fun theme, this watch scores high on many other levels. The jewels are very stunning and give this watch a expensive look. The gemstones shine and are a gorgeous touch to the leather band and fine brush finish. This watch is very formal looking to me, but can also be worn quite nicely with my work uniform.
