Fashion Friday…
Yes, it’s David Yurman and yes, some of you horological purists will automatically dismiss it as a result, but I say WAIT! — give this classically-styled beauty a second look, will you? This particular model, the “CLASSIC 1957″, draws its inspiration from the 1957 Thunderbird (among other autos of the decade) and I think does a good job of reflecting “the look” of the 1950s but with a twist of modernity. The watch is the latest addition to David Yurman’s “CLASSIC Collection” which was introduced last year.
The David Yurman CLASSIC 1957 features a gauge-like dial with nicely styled Arabic numerals and orange hour and small seconds hands. The case is 43.5mm diameter, stainless steel and houses a respectable Swiss-made automatic Dubois Dépraz movement. Also note the signature David Yurman braid/twist around the outer edge of the case. The perforated calf strap is ideal for touring or auto-themed watches (Audemars Piguet uses a similar strap on its 2010 Tour Auto) — and thus the perfect pairing to a watch such as this.
