This year, Festival First Night was about one man and one man only - the legendary soul singer Al Green. So on a steamy summer's night in The Domain in Sydney - a location was secured, the wine was poured and the mood was set. But as the Grammy Award winner took to the stage and was projected onto screens and even the side of a building, I couldn't help but notice a particular mannerism. Al couldn't stop looking at his ladie's vintage watch. Was it so she could stick to the strict 11pm curfew? An onstage habit? Or perhaps she had a new timepiece she wanted to show off? Whatever the reason, this characteristic got me thinking. What happened to wearing a good old fashioned ladie's vintage watch? If you consider the generations who grew up without mobile phones or a computer screen in their face 12 hours a day, you'll see the point I'm getting at. The mobile phone has pretty much taken over the need for a ladie's vintage watch - but that doesn't mean we should let the opportunity to project our style into this accessory pass us by. With a ladie's vintage watch out there to suit any style and every budget - it almost seems like a crime not to own one of your very own.
That's why it's my duty to inspire you to take a trip back in time, to when wearing a ladie's vintage watch was not just a necessity, but a reflection of one's signature style.
Stylish Ladie's vintage watches
If you're after something that works with both a suit and your weekend wear, then you need a classically stylish ladie's vintage watch. Nothing too opulent though. The ladie's vintage watch look you want to go for will be similar to Brad Pitt's style in the Tag Heuer ads (although perhaps without the price tag). There are plenty of affordable options out there, so to get started, head to the ladie's vintage watch counter in David Jones
Sporty Ladie's vintage watches
If you're at home carrying a canoe over your shoulder and a paddle under your arm, then a sports ladie's vintage watch is the way to go. Many brands make models to suit particular sports, but one should be wary of anything with a leather band that has a name containing words like, sea, ocean, gulf and aqua. These are only made for rich dudes who own boats wearing nautical themed ladie's vintagewear and can only deal with a little splashy splashy.
Design Ladie's vintage watches
You're the kind of guy who wouldn't be happy wearing your standard ladie's vintage watch style. You need something different, something out of the ordinary. There are plenty of ladie's vintage watches that double as conversation starters out there - you've just got to know where to look. Head to design based websites or hit hipster looking stores in your local area.
If you like your accessories with a bit of history on the side, then keep your eyes peeled for a vintage ladie's vintage watch. Whether it's an old-school touch screen Casio, or a vintage Omega - you'll find one to match your style. You've got to admit, there's something mysterious about owning a vintage ladie's vintage watch. Who was the previous owner and why did they part ways with their timepiece?
