Manilx's original post highlights a Patek Philippe with a striking dial and strap combination, sparking a discussion on color perception and personal style. This article explores how collectors view 'feminine' colors in horology and fashion, offering insights into the nuanced world of luxury watch aesthetics. Manilx's choice of a darker, pale brown strap to complement the dial challenges conventional notions, inviting readers to reconsider their own stylistic boundaries.
But I like it. Changed from an elephant black strap, guess that was super masculine then 😉
I not sure about the feminine characterization of the watch since I (and many others) love wearing pinks, purple, violet ties, dress shirts, etc. So I can see this extending to accessories…it’s all about the man and how he wears it, which I think everyone agrees. Still, in this case, I can see where an initial impression of the watch (not the wearer) is ‘feminine’, but also summery.
Definitely not. It’s very pale/light brown. Without yellowish tint. Really a darker version of the dial
Looks like a very light tan, or pale brown as you say. I was just reflecting in general about clothes and accessories with certain ‘feminine’ colors that I like myself. It’s all about the wearer.
And I understand men can wear pink…as a tie or shirt. For a watch band for me it would be over the top. D
It’s never the wearer but the observer who’s at fault.
