Watches are attention-grabbing accessories—you typically wear them every day, so you want to invest in a useful, yet fashionable option. Whether it’s a sporty, sophisticated or casual look you’re going for, Buckhead’s boutiques have several options. Below, discover a modish watch from designer Mistura, and reconnect with ageless and versatile timepieces from recognized brands like Seiko and Franck Muller.
1. Wooden Greatness
Bridging simplicity and modernism, the urban Avanti watch from Mistura is made to order, and features a band made of genuine Italian leather, a case of unique Pui wood, a face with three hands and Japanese Quartz movement. The creation process takes 85 hours, including the painting, stitching and assembly work. Available in six bold colors, this option will add spunk to any outfit. Avanti: $279, Mistura Stores.
2. Classically Edgy
Talk about timeless! This crocodile leather/ sapphire crystal combo by Franck Muller is noth- ing but. We found this elegant piece at Crown & Caliber, Buckhead’s newest way to buy and sell luxury watches for discounted cost—and it’s easy peasy. Various high-end designer watches are available for resale and the inventory depends on the sales at that particular time. You can buy andsell your watch at the Piedmont Road location by appointment. This timepiece features an 18-karat rose gold case and a triple date (display- ing the day, month and moon phase). It’s a (big) investment you’ll wear for years to come. Franck Muller 5850 MCL: $13,500, Crown & Caliber.
