Watch bracelets

Undoubtedly, every girl has stylish wrist accessories, among which there is a watch. The watch not only adorns an elegant wrist, but also is a very functional detail of the outfit.

To make the product most successfully fit into the image, you should pay special attention to the bracelet, on which the functional part with the dial is fixed. Let us consider in more detail which models exist, their design features and product varieties.

The bracelet for watches has a rather interesting structure, it is at the same time quite mobile and very strong. But what are the reasons for these two factors? And what structure mechanism does the watch bracelet have? Let's consider in more detail.

First of all, it is worth noting that the bracelet consists of several links that are attached to special hinges, whence its unspoken name comes from - the hinged bracelet. Thanks to this type of connection, the maximum mobility of the product is ensured.

The similar structure of bracelets has one feature - an adjustable link. Thanks to links that can be removed or added, if necessary, you can adjust the size of the bracelet in accordance with the size of the wrist.

The articulated models consist of fairly large parts, while the other look, chain bracelets, consist of small hollow links tightly fastened together. Some types of decorative bracelets are chains of fairly large links on which the part itself is mounted with a dial.

The design of bracelets from other kinds of materials is simpler - the product simply consists of two solid strips with a fastener, like a regular large belt. Such variants of models can be stitched, glued, or simply represent a single piece of any material.

Speaking about materials, one cannot fail to mention that not only the strength and practicality of the watch bracelet depends on them, but also its functionality and appearance. What materials are most popular in creating bracelets, and what features are they endowed with?

The most durable and reliable models are, of course, made of metals. But not every one of them will be not only functional and strong, but also beautiful. For example, watch products made from cheap alloys often look sloppy and give the impression of being cheap.

The titanium versions of the bracelets with a matte finish look perfect. The material is strong, strong and, most often, is used in the manufacture of articulated models. The surface is resistant to dents and scratches, so the product will serve you for many years, retaining its original appearance.

Watch models made of precious materials look beautiful: silver, platinum, as well as models in white, yellow and pink gold. Due to the high cost of the alloys themselves, the finished product has a corresponding, rather considerable price, which not everyone can pay.

No less durable is a steel bracelet, and no less beautiful. Often, bracelets are made of steel - chains, consisting of many small links. It is the strength of the metal that ensures the reliability of the fastenings and the wear resistance of the entire product.

Models of watch bracelets from other materials are more likely to be classified as straps. The leather bracelet looks very beautiful, quite durable and practical. Leather straps are equipped with buckles with a tongue and holes for it.

A rubber bracelet, often used to make waterproof watch models, looks like a leather one. The fact is that rubber does not absorb moisture, is firmly fixed on the hand and does not slip even with the most intense movements.

In addition, rubber straps are made in completely different color options, which determines the breadth of choice.

Models look very solemn and elegant, but often not suitable for creating full-fledged models for adult girls. Most often, watch straps for children and adolescents are made from beads and large beads.

Another unusual model - a watch with a paracord bracelet, is an unmatched product. The strap is made of cord using a variety of weaving techniques. Weaving imitates the mechanism of an articulated bracelet, or model - a chain of small links.

The color variety of watch bracelets is amazing - each material has special properties that allow you to get one or another shade.

For example, metal products, depending on the alloy, may have silver, bronze or golden color. And if everything is very clear with silver and bronze shades, then the golden color is divided into several types: yellow gold, white gold, pink gold.

Black color very popular among classic models with straps made of leather, rubber or paracord. Black is good at creating beaded watch bracelets. Such a model, combined with a silver faceted dial, looks the most spectacular and solemn.

Rubber and silicone straps have a slightly transparent look and are made in a wide variety of color variations: bright pink, sophisticated lilac, sunny yellow, sky blue and juicy green - these shades will simply look incredibly on a graceful female handle.

Models of dark blue, dark green, emerald and burgundy shades look beautiful and elegant. Such options for bracelets are close to classic ones, and will help not only to successfully complement any business image, but also to slightly shade it.

Light models are also popular - white, beige, cream and ivory will look great on a tanned thin wrist. Often, these shades are combined with golden details and iridescent diamonds and rhinestones, depending on the model.

The clasps on the watch come in several forms, and while some are incredibly reliable, others are notorious for their “fame” and cause much doubt.

• Classic clasp with oval, square and rectangular buckle. Perhaps this is the very first version of the clasp, which appeared from the very beginning of the existence of watches. This option is the easiest in everyday use and the most reliable.

• Butterfly. The clasp of this type is unusual and slightly less reliable than the classic version. The product is both parts of the bracelet, folding like butterfly wings, and fixed using a special mechanism. Often, such a clasp is equipped with a fuse, in order to prevent accidental opening.

• Folding clasp. The principle of its action is similar to the mechanisms of closing the butterfly clasp, the only difference is that the parts fold in one direction. A bracelet with such a clasp does not open completely, but only folds out, becoming wider, which allows you to put the watch on your hand.

• A clip fastener attached to a leather, fabric or silicone strap is not as difficult to use as it might seem. But this option has some peculiarity - the clip can be moved by adjusting the diameter of the bracelet, which allows you to adjust the product in accordance with changes in the body and girth of the wrist.

• Certain watch models have a bracelet without fasteners, an elastic band and any other stretchable element, or are equipped with a folding lock.

Some models are holistic silicone bracelet watches, with a built-in electronic dial. Such watches are classified as sports models, since they are most suitable for an active lifestyle and sports lovers.

The strap does not get wet, tightly fastens on the hand, without twisting at the same time, which allows you to freely know the date and time at any time if necessary. The fastener of the product is made according to a special principle, thanks to which you can always trim the excess part, fit the product to the appropriate size.

Cheaper products are equipped only with date and time functions, but more expensive and new-fangled inventions are able to perform the functions of a barometer and display the phases of the moon.

Bracelets for watches, like the watch itself, have certain manufacturers, therefore, are represented by many brands.

For example, the Orient brand manufactures non-ferrous metal watch bracelets that do not include precious alloys. The company has been operating in the watch market for many years and during this time has been able to gain the trust of many grateful customers.

Precious models are mainly made in factories belonging to various jewelry brands.

Swiss company produces high quality models from platinum, steel and titanium. Sophisticated design, unusual color combinations and reliable fastenings make them the most suitable bracelets for expensive watches.

Diverse watch straps are manufactured by Swatch. Among the collections of this brand there are as many metal products, and leather, and silicone, and rubber.

And among the decorative options there is a stunning pearl model in two rows.

Very often it may be necessary to shorten the bracelet of the watch.In order not to spoil the product, you should still contact a specialized workshop for the help of a professional.

But if this is not possible, you can familiarize yourself with some simple ways in this video. It should be noted that we are talking only about metal bracelets, since leather and rubber do not need such a procedure.

It is worth approaching the choice of watches wisely and take the process seriously. When buying an expensive product, you should take into account all the nuances, and all the outfits with which the product will be combined. But the dial itself hardly attracts such close attention, which is paid to the bracelet. That is why it is worth focusing on the right choice of this particular part.

If you spend most of the time in the office and at business events, you will need the appropriate, most restrained and classic product. We advise you to pay attention to watches with metal - silver or gold bracelets, as well as to models with straps of dark colors.

If your life revolves around holidays and special occasions, then the wrist accessory should correspond. You should not discount old good metal bracelets, but you can always consider a model with additional decor in the form of precious stones.

In addition, stylists advise to pay attention to models with a decorative strap decorated with rhinestones, beads and large gemstones.

For everyday life, any watch model with a bracelet is suitable, the shade of which most successfully fits into the main color scheme of your wardrobe. With the choice of everyday products there is no problem if the girl has a capsule wardrobe in the same style.

No matter what material the watch bracelet is made of, it will still need appropriate care. And the method of care should be selected based on the qualities of the material itself.

For example, a leather bracelet should not be wet, because when it dries, its quality can deteriorate - the skin wrinkles and becomes uneven. Allowed only care with a damp cloth, which should wipe the glossy surface of the skin.

Products made from natural, unpainted metals can be cleaned of dirt and stains with a cloth dipped in soapy water or hydrogen peroxide. Any stains and greasy marks come off with this cleaning method.

Painted metal products require more careful and careful care in order to prevent peeling of paint particles. It is best to use special cleaning wipes, which can be purchased in specialized stores.

The most practical and unpretentious care are rubber and silicone straps, which can be easily cleaned only by rinsing with plain water. To remove more persistent dirt, you can add a drop of soap.
