It's Cocktail Time!!!

No, I'm not impersonating everyone's favorite queen of powdered-ranch-dressing packets and crockpot favorites.  Rather, I am talking about cocktail watches!  They are the perfect accessory for all your holiday parties, providing style AND function!  Our favorites have a delicate black satin strap and a flurry of diamonds surrounding the bezel!

This group of cocktail watches will set you back a pretty penny.  But man, are they gorgeous or what?!  The Tiffany Oval Cocktail Watch makes our heart skip a beat...

Tiffany Lucida and Baguette Cocktail Watch, $42,000

Tiffany Oval Cocktail Watch, $12,600

David Yurman Madison Watch, $6,250

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT

This grouping is still what we would consider "fine jewelry," but they don't involve taking out a second mortgage to afford them.  For what it's worth, both MoS girls love their Michele watches!

Michele Mini Urban, $1,645

Michele Deco Diamond Watch, $1,495

My mom has a watch exactly like this one that once belonged to my dad's mom.  It is so delicate and absolutely stunning.  Even though it does not keep time anymore, it is just a beautiful piece of jewelry.

Vintage Hamilton Deco Watch, $1,695

I'LL TAKE TWO

This group of cocktail watches is perfect for the buyer who isn't ready to make a big commitment.  You *think* you will wear it, but you aren't positive.  Try one of these out and see what you think.  If you wear it a ton (we think you will!), then you can always upgrade to one of the categories above!  Of this group, the Skagen crystal bezel watch is our favorite!

Badgley Mischka Crystal Watch, $150

Juicy Dalton Watch, $295

Michael Kors Mother of Pearl Crystal Rim Watch, $140

Skagen Crystal Bezel Watch, $130

Juicy Queen Anne Watch, $295

WHY NOT?!

For the budget fashionista, you can't go wrong with these choices!  Yes, we really don't like knock-offs, and it seems like each of the watches below closely resembles a watch above...  But, once again, if you aren't ready to commit  to a more expensive watch, then these are some good options.

Pedre Watch, $83

Pedre, $90

Geneva Cord Watch, $22

Do you have a cocktail watch?  I really wear mine much more than I ever thought I would.  And one trick worth mentioning- check the Saks and Neimans outlets for Michele cocktail watches at steep discounts.  They probably won't come with the classic black satin strap, but you can EASILY replace that cobalt blue croc strap with a black satin strap you purchase online!
