If there’s one thing that handbag queen Kate Spade is good at, it is pops of color/ (Okay, and polka dots.) So it comes as no surprise that the designer’s first-ever line of watches is full of brights, like the canary yellow and hot pink Carousel bangles pictured above, which are also available in turquoise. Even some of the standard gold and silver pieces have soft pink accents, like the rosy-hued minute hand on both the gold and silver Gramercy Grand watches. But for us, the standout is certainly the bangle watches, which come with cute phrases engraved inside, just like Kate Spade’s adorable idiom bangles. The only thing we love more than the graphic black-and-cream design of the Delacorte bangle is the cheeky “When in Rome” inscription.
Are you sensing a geographical pattern to these names, which include Gramercy Hotel and Delacorte Theater? Kate Spade’s collection is inspired by New York City, so each design takes its name from a local landmark, including a Metro Strap watch. Perhaps, every watch should be inscribed with “New York minute.”
