5 Unconventional Watches for Women

Although many women's watches include classic designs with delicate features, there are numerous extraordinary pieces that can be just as fashionable. Let’s check how watches are not only used for telling time but also as trendy accessories that reflect someone's personal style. We will highlight five unconventional watches for women, each with its distinct design and features.

1. Oris Aquis Date Upcycle
The Oris Aquis Date Upcycle watch is a stylish timepiece that focuses on environmental sustainability. It incorporates recycled materials such as a recycled aluminium case and a strap made from recycled PET. The dial of the watch is also made from recycled PET and includes a date display at 6 o'clock. To improve visibility in low-light situations, the hands and indexes of the watch are coated in Super-LumiNova.

This Oris model stands out for its dedication to sustainability. It is made of recycled materials, including the case, strap, and packaging, and its automatic movement does not require a battery. The gear can be complemented with a Horus Strap for Oris watch in case you like a more sporty look. This helps to lessen its impact on the environment. Priced at £1,500, this gear is an excellent choice for women who prioritize both fashion and sustainability.

2. Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse
The Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse watch is an exquisite and delicate accessory that catches the eye with its distinctive bracelet resembling a chain. Its case measures 22mm in stainless steel, embellished with a bezel adorned with diamonds and a dial made of white mother-of-pearl. The gear’s interlocking polished steel links create the bracelet, giving it a jewel-like appearance.

This Baume & Mercier model stands out for its ability to switch straps. The watch includes three strap options - black calfskin, taupe calfskin, and steel - for personalization to complement any event. Priced at £2,200, this piece boasts both style and adaptability.

3. MB&F Legacy Machine FlyingT
The MB&F Legacy Machine FlyingT watch is an exquisite illustration of mechanical watchmaking designed with a feminine touch. The piece showcases a flying tourbillon situated at 7 o'clock and a gently curved dial that creates a visual deception, giving the impression that the watch is levitating. The watch's case is crafted from 18k white gold and bedazzled with diamonds.

The MB&F timepiece stands out for its unusual automatic winding system. Its rotor is designed to resemble a three-dimensional red-gold sun. Additionally, the timepiece can last for 100 hours on a single charge, making it a convenient option for everyday use. However, with a price of £108,000, this watch is definitely a high-end purchase suitable for those who value exquisite craftsmanship.

4. Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori
The Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori watch is a striking timepiece that boasts a snake design. It is crafted from 18k rose gold and adorned with diamonds. The black lacquered guilloché dial showcases a snake head at the 12 o'clock position. The flexible bracelet also comprises 18k rose gold and diamonds, bringing the serpentine aesthetics together.

The Bulgari model is a striking piece of jewellery ideal for women who want to add some flair to their accessories. The watch features a flexible bracelet that is both comfortable to wear and easily conforms to the wearer's wrist, making it practical for everyday use. Although expensive at £28,000, this timepiece is a lavish investment that is guaranteed to garner attention.

5. Chanel Boy.Friend Tweed Art
The Chanel Boy.Friend Tweed Art watch is a stylish and chic piece that draws inspiration from the renowned tweed fabric of the fashion house. It includes a rectangular case made of 18k beige gold with a diamond-set bezel and a black guilloché dial that requires special care. The gear has a black alligator leather strap adorned with a tweed design that gives it a distinctive texture.

This Chanel model is known for its accurate and reliable high-precision quartz movement. In addition, it has a small seconds sub-dial located at 6 o'clock, which enhances its functionality. Priced at £26,500, this watch is a luxurious purchase for those who appreciate Chanel's blend of classic tweed and modern design.

Conclusion
This article highlights five watches for women that have unconventional designs and serve as both timekeeping devices and fashion accessories. By wearing these watches, you can definitely express your personal style and elevate your outfits.

Nyx Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Gloss

It seems that Lip Oils are very much the must-have product right now with my social media feed across three apps being jam packed full of photos and swatches of various brands. One brand I have been using is Nyx and with that, their Fat Oil Lip Drip Gloss which is quite the name.
Nyx Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Gloss
A non-sticky lip oil which is available in 8 shades, I was kindly sent 7 of them to try and over the past month or so, that is exactly what I have been doing.

Our first lip drip of it's kind is giving you all the FAT perks. Fat shine. Fat Protection. Drip your lips in FAT OIL. Say hello to plump hydrated lips. Fat oil provides 12 hr hydration, comfortable wear, non-sticky texture with a high shine finish. Fat oil is packed with FAT goodness. 
It's dripping with cloudberry oil, raspberry oil and squalane. Your lips stay dripping in FAT goodness. Take your look to the next level with 8 flexible, non-sticky shades to play from. Your lip stay looking drippy. Designed with a fat applicator to give you a FAT application each time. You're just one swipe away from fat perks. Fat applicator that hugs your lip.

So as you can see, this isn't just a lip oil that imparts colour, it is one which has a list of amazing ingredients which includes:
  • Cloudberry oil,
  • Raspberry oil,
  • Squalane
The Fat Oil Lip shades range from neutral and nudes to the much bolder shades like red, so you can choose the shade that grabs your attention or play it safe. The lip oil itself has a really creamy, silky texture to it which surprised me, as I was expecting something for akin to a lip-gloss texture, that said, being more of an oil means it is not stick or tacky and does not make your lips feel as though you have applied a Pritt Stick.
Nyx Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Gloss
I really like the doe-foot applicator, which is a little wider than those you get with a lip gloss but it does mean the product is easy to apply as it glides on smoothly and evenly and, as promised, it does provide a high-shine finish.

These Fat Oil Lip Drip Glosses can be worn alone, though the pigmentation of the colours is subtle or they work well over lipsticks and lip stains too. I tend to swap and change how I use mine having made my way through the shades.

The Shades

  • Supermodel - Raspberry with glitter
  • Status Update - Warm Dark Brown
  • My Main - Colourless
  • That’s Chic - Plum
  • Newsfeed - Cherry Red
  • Scrollin’ - Chocolate Brown
  • Missed Call - Raspberry
Plus the one shade I don’t have is called Follow Back which is a copper gold shade with glitter.  All of the shades can be seen on my Instagram grid HERE, but in the meantime here is a swatch of each of the 7 shades I currently have:
Nyx Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Gloss
From left to right is - Supermodel, Status Update, My Main, That's Chic, Newsfeed, Scrollin and Missed Call.  All are just one swatch across my arm with no filter or editing and my current favourite shade, Status Update works really well with Pillow Talk!

For £7.49 the Nyx Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Gloss is definitely one to be trying, I wasn't sure what to expect when they arrived, but I absolutely love using them and have just ordered Follow Back, which looks stunning!
