Women's golden clocks today carry more functions than just the designation of time. The gold watches are an indicator of high social status, the level of income and, with the right choice, the good taste of their mistress. Despite the fact that gold is considered and is a soft metal, the clock from it is one of the most durable and durable, as they can only be expensive hourly mechanisms. Of course, such a purchase requires considerable cash investments, but the result fully justifies: a luxurious and elegant image, a combination of external lightness and internal strength.
With proper care and careful terms, such a purchase will delight for a very long time, besides, such hours do not come out of fashion.
Views and models
The use of classical material - gold - does not imply the mandatory use of traditional technologies in the manufacture. Today, a variety of manufacturers, types and models are diverse, and the choice depends on personal preferences.
The first difference is based on the type of walking - it can be quartz or mechanical. Quartz watches quite quickly conquer their audience, as even the most inexpensive of them provide greater accuracy of the course, and the battery in them is designed for several years of work, and you can not worry about to regularly conclude them.
The mechanical clock is more expensive, as they require great mastery in the manufacture, but their accuracy is somewhat lower.
Electronic gold watches - an interesting combination of classics and modernity . They have a big functionality - LED backlight, stopwatch, alarm clock, calendar and other necessary things. And all this - in an elegant gold case.
In addition to the standard wearing hours on the hand, like a bracelet, they can be worn and as a coast - and the golden clock are no exception. Such a pendant can also say a lot about its owner and even a simple image will give elegance and completeness.
Smart clock is an amazing technological invention of recent times. They work on the principle of synchronization with a smartphone and allow you to use many of its functions, up to sending messages and calls, without getting a mobile device from your pocket. Other features are a universal control panel, "smart alarm clock" (taking into account sleep phases), fitness tracker and many others.
Of course, the price of such hours will be high, especially if you fulfill them in a gold version, but for someone it can become an indispensable thing that facilitates life.
A more modest option - luminous numbers watches. They can be both with digital and with a standard display. Night lights are convenient for evening walks - no need to shine on the dial. Such an addition is unobtrusive and nice.
On the wave of enhanced development of computer technologies, many designers, and just people with taste agree that good gold watches do not need additional improvements - both with external decoration and relative to the functionality. Laconicity and restraint - that's what a girl is distinguished with a good taste and a sense of style.
Variants strap
Deciding which functions are needed in gold wrist models, you can proceed to the choice of suitable design. The main part of the appearance of the clock is a strap, and therefore the choice is worth stopping on it.
There are not so many options, and it is not difficult to determine if it works:
- The clock with a gold bracelet made from a combination of weave of thin threads, or on a gold chain - elegant and, at the same time, attracting attention to the accessory.
It is also possible to order the author's design of the bracelet, which will emphasize the individuality.
- There are also partially gold models - in the gold case and with a leather strap. Combined with a gold bracelet such a strap creates an interesting kit and an original combination. Such models are somewhat cheaper than gold, but they also look elegant and perfectly suitable for girls who occupy a high public or official position and for ordinary people, because such hours will be combined with any style of clothing.
Color, shape and decor
Having considered and choosing a view of the strap, moving to color, form and decor. Here, designers also offer a variety of solutions for different purposes, categories of people and styles, so that each makes each model appropriate personal preferences.
The color of gold models depends (if they are completely gold) from the gold used. It can be both traditional yellow and white and pink, and recently even blue and green.
If we talk about the color of the clock with a leather strap, then, most often, the dial is made in yellow or white versions, and the leather strap is presented in the assortment - black, brown, burgundy, blue, white and many others.
The dial model can be round, square, rectangular - these forms are used to everyone, and in the market of their majority. Sometimes, in new collections, there are dials of non-standard forms, but this is a rarity, and such hours are not suitable for each case and not to each style.
It is believed that the gold watches in additional decoration do not need, as made from such a material that decorates itself is a classic design. You can find models with diamonds, fianits and other gems, the main thing is that they are not too much - the amount does not go to the Warranty of Taste.

How to choose?
Golden clock is an expensive accessory, and that he justifies himself, you need to know how to choose high-quality clock and to navigate when choosing:
- Determine the country of the manufacturer. It can be both Russia and Switzerland (the best hours are produced there). Pay attention to the labeling of the clock or their parts to understand how much the clock can be considered "Swiss". Swiss or Swiss Made means that the clock is fully manufactured and tested in Switzerland. Swiss Movement or Swiss Quiz will indicate that the Swiss mechanism is in the clock, and Swiss Part says that only parts for the mechanism itself are made there.
Depending on this, the price will be different.
- Working mechanism. Traditionally, the golden clock is done with a mechanical mechanism, since when using quartz, it will be necessary to sometimes remove the cover to change the batteries, and this can lead to its damage (gold - soft metal). But if such a cover is made of steel, you can not be afraid of damage, and the price of the clock will decrease.
- Percentage of gold. It is very affected by the price of goods the amount of gold in it. So, the golden clock with a strap from the skin will be made at times cheaper completely precious.
- Decorations. Diamond paint on the dial add glitter, luxury and price hours.
- Additional functions. In the clock, there are often additional features and options (for example, calendar, chronograph, several dials and others) - you need to be sure that all this is really useful. Still produced limited and exclusive collections, which, by virtue of their uniqueness, roads.
If the clock is needed for every day, it is better to choose a simpler accessory.
How much are?
The price of gold clock depends on several factors - a class of goods, the amount of precious metal used in the manufacture of precious metal, stones and brand. The cost fluctuates in very wide limits - from five thousand to millions of rubles. In the most inexpensive models, leather straps are dominated, extra decorations and additional functions are missing.
For the average price category, gold 18 carats often use - for example, in collections from Maurice Lacroix.
The highest quality clock is often manufactured by hand, and they are almost always decorative elements, turning the clock at the present product of jewelry art. And the price of this work appropriate difficulty of work and the number of jewels included in it.
Home care
Golden clock is a rather fragile product, and improper care can lead to irreparable consequences up to the fact that they will come into full disrepair.
However, this does not mean that every time you have to attract them to the master - it is enough to know several rules of the necessary care, with the help of which the clock will serve for a very long time:
- Models made of gold or gilding need regular wiping with a slightly damp cloth or cloth - it is necessary that the fabric is not a darous. Please note that it is slightly wet, not wet - if the water falls inside the case, you can spoil the clock (especially if they are non-desarmed). Conduct such a procedure regularly, and then there will be no reason to worry about the fact that the clock will lose their kind.
- If you still managed to stick the dirt on the strap or in other parts of the clock, which is not deleted in the previous way, instead of water it will be coparded with the pollution toothpaste (not gel). Just apply a little paste on the fabric and carefully, without push, wipe - the dirt should be completely removed.
- To cope with such hard-to-reach plates like a notch with an ornament, an ordinary toothbrush is suitable, be sure to fit soft villies. At first, also try to clean these places with water, and if it does not help, then dental paste. Do not be afraid if, when cleaning the clock, the paste will become dark - it leaves the dirt, and the gilding, if it is high-quality, does not suffer from such a way.
- A very important point is to carefully remove toothpaste with a wet cloth, otherwise it will lead to corrosion of the metal in the case. To cope with hard-to-reach places, use a clean wet toothbrush.
- For especially difficult cases, when water and pasta did not cope, a special WD40 solution was released. Apply it on a wet contaminated surface and remove the dirt with a piece of fabric, then wipe with a pure wet cloth.
- Dry wipe the clock, paying special attention to various deepening.
- The last stage is a polishing that is performed by a dry soft cloth. Especially work where the metal sweep is visible.
Using these simple procedures, the clock will always look like new and serve as long as possible.
Beautiful images
Choosing a beautiful golden clock, a natural question arises, with what now wearing them. The time has already passed when they were considered to be suitable only "for a special case" - now they boldly conquer the streets and offices and turn into a necessary fashion accessory. They are perfectly combined with puppet dresses, and with large over-size jackets, and with cotton shirts, and lapse jeans.
The clock with a leather strap can become the main accent of the image if the strap has the correct color. Prefer white, black, and even better - red-color is one of the best options to refresh the image and add it to it, even if the main costume is quite simple.
The last trend is a golden clock, whose strap repeats the color of the costume - especially if it is sand, scarlet, gentle pink, light blue, khaki or red. In order not to overdo it with color, dilute the suit with a black or white blouse, a T-shirt or T-shirt and prefer your body color shoes.
In 2017, men's models come back to female wrists again. Brutal gold models emphasize the femininity of their owner. The main thing is that there is no extra decor - the more stricter, the better. They will look great and with white shirts, and with maxi skirts, and with dresses from chiffon - a game in contrasts is manifested in all directions of fashion.
In addition to the last trends, it is important to remember that the classic remains eternal. Of course, even classic design is modified over time - new types of straps, adding decorations against the canonical self-sufficiency of gold - all this creates the so-called "neoclassical style", in which the competent combination of unobtrusive decor does not destroy elegance. Such hours are suitable absolutely to any style, except, except that, frankly sports, so you can not be afraid to look ridiculous.
Remember only that harmony either never comes out of fashion.
