Gucci 103 Watches

It feels like a while since Gucci released a new woman's line. The brand does really well with their timepieces for women, and with some very good classic designs, I can see why. For some reason I feel like they opened the doors for a brand like Chanel to come in and be as popular as they are. The new U-Play collection comes in two sizes (27mm wide and 35mm wide) in steel. The dial is a play on the Gucci "G," with two of them being flipped and mirrored. The look is designer in feel, and has the fun feel of a sketched drawing. The overall look of the watch is youthful and sophisticated, with an avant garde twist. The watch is meant to be quite interactive for the wearer. Both versions of the watch has a case that can be removed from the strap and bezel housing, and switched into a new watch. There are a series of different colors and materials available. I haven't played with it yet, but the idea is interesting. The case itself is in steel, and contains a Swiss quartz movement. Aside from that details are scant. Look for these U-Play model timepieces for women from Gucci soon. Ariel Adams publishes the luxury watch reviews site aBlogtoRead.com. Gallery: Gucci U-Play Women's Watches

THE G CHRONO BLACKOriginally launched in 2005 the G Chrono offers a unique interpretation of excess. The oversized 44 mm case and extra large dial combined with overstated push buttons are a powerful statement of personality. Now Gucci further emphasizes the striking features of this model with the new G Chrono Black.This version in monochrome PVD is a symbol of distinction. The subtle details of the case quietly reveal its boldness; the seconds hand is the same shade of green as the lower push button; the 4 o'clock index colors are a tribute to the much celebrated Gucci's green-red-green striped webbing. Underscoring the unconventional spirit of this watch the bottom subdial is marked by two axes only, while the top one stands out against the dark background with its white indexes.The G Chrono features a quartz movement. Made in Switzerland.Only available as "special edition", the G Chrono Black is a rare and exclusive timepiece.Suggested Retail is $1,795.[ Gucci Press Release ]
