Bracelets for watches

Undoubtedly, every girl has stylish wrist accessories, including a watch. The watch not only adorns a graceful wrist, but is also a very functional piece of an outfit.

In order for the product to fit into the image most successfully, you should pay special attention to the bracelet, on which the functional part with the dial is fixed. Let's take a closer look at what models exist, their design features and product types.

The watch bracelet has a rather interesting structure, it is at the same time quite mobile and very strong. But what caused these two factors? And what is the structure of the watch bracelet? Let's take a closer look.

First of all, it should be noted that the bracelet consists of several links that are attached to special hinges, hence its unspoken name - the hinged bracelet. It is thanks to this type of connection that the maximum mobility of the product is ensured.

Such a structure of bracelets has one feature - an adjustable link. With links that can be removed or added as needed, the bracelet can be adjusted to fit your wrist.

Articulated models consist of rather large parts, while the other type, chain bracelets, consist of small hollow links tightly fastened together. Some types of decorative bracelets are chains of fairly large links, on which the piece with the dial itself is attached.

The design of bracelets made of other kinds of materials is simpler - the product simply consists of two solid strips with a fastener, like a regular large belt. Such variants of models can be stitched, glued, or simply represent a single piece of any material.

Speaking about the materials, one cannot fail to mention that not only the strength and practicality of the watch bracelet depends on them, but also its functionality and appearance. What materials are the most popular in creating bracelets, and what features are they endowed with?

The most durable and reliable models are made, of course, from metals. But not all of them will be not only functional and strong, but also beautiful. For example, watch products made from cheap alloys often look sloppy and give the impression of being cheap.

Matte titanium bracelets look flawless. The material is durable, sturdy and is most often used in the manufacture of articulated models. The surface is resistant to dents and scratches, so the product will serve you for many years, keeping its original appearance.

Models for watches made of precious materials look beautiful: silver, platinum, as well as models from white, yellow and rose gold. Due to the high cost of the alloys themselves, the finished product has an appropriate, rather considerable price, which not everyone can pay.

The steel bracelet is no less durable, and no less beautiful. Often bracelets are made of steel - chains consisting of many small links. It is the strength of the metal that ensures the reliability of the fasteners and the durability of the entire product.

Models of watch bracelets made of other materials are rather classified as straps. The leather bracelet looks very nice, quite durable and practical. Leather straps are equipped with buckle-style clasps with a tongue and holes for it.

The rubber bracelet, which is often used for the manufacture of waterproof watch models, looks like a leather one. The fact is that the rubber does not absorb moisture, is firmly fixed on the hand and does not slip even with the most intense movements.

In addition, rubber straps are made in absolutely various colors, which is why the choice is wide.

Models they look very solemn and elegant, but often they are not suitable for creating full-fledged models for adult girls. Most often, watch straps for children and adolescents are made of beads and large beads.

Another unusual model, a watch with a paracord bracelet, is a unique product. The strap is made from a cord using a variety of weaving techniques. Weaving imitates the mechanism of a hinged bracelet, or models - a chain of small links.

The color variety of watch bracelets is amazing - each material has special properties that allow you to get one or another shade.

For example, metal products, depending on the alloy, can have silver, bronze or golden color. And if everything is extremely clear with silver and bronze shades, then the golden color is divided into several types: yellow gold, white gold, rose gold.

Black color very popular with classic models with leather, rubber or paracord straps. Black is good for making watch bracelets from beads. Such a model, in combination with a silvery cut of the dial, looks the most impressive and solemn.

The rubber and silicone straps have a slightly transparent look and are made in a wide variety of color variations: bright pink, sophisticated lilac, sunny yellow, sky blue and juicy green - these shades will look incredible on a graceful woman's handle.

Models of dark blue, dark green, emerald and burgundy shades look beautiful and elegant. Such options for bracelets are close to the classic ones, and will help not only to successfully complement any business image, but also slightly shade it.

Light models are also popular - white, beige, cream and ivory will look great on a tanned thin wrist. Often these shades are combined with golden details and iridescent diamonds and rhinestones, depending on the model.

Watch clasps come in several varieties, and while some are incredibly reliable, others are infamous and questionable.

• Classic clasp with oval, square and rectangular buckles. Perhaps this is the very first version of the clasp that appeared from the very beginning of the existence of a wristwatch. This option is the easiest and most reliable one in everyday use.

• Butterfly. The clasp of this type is unusual and slightly less reliable than the classic version. The product consists of both parts of the bracelet, folding like butterfly wings and fixing with a special mechanism. Often this clasp is equipped with a safety catch to prevent accidental opening.

• Folding clasp. Its principle of operation is similar to the closing mechanisms of the butterfly clasp, the only difference is that the parts fold in one direction. A bracelet with such a clasp does not open completely, but only unfolds, becoming wider, which allows you to put the watch on your wrist.

• The clasp, which attaches to a leather, fabric or silicone strap, is not as difficult to use as it might seem. But this option has a certain peculiarity - the clip can be moved by adjusting the diameter of the bracelet, which allows the product to be adjusted in accordance with changes in the body and the girth of the wrist.

• Certain watch models have a bracelet without clasps, with an elastic band and any other stretchable element, or equipped with a folding lock.

Some models are complete silicone bracelet watches with a built-in electronic dial. Such watches are classified as sports models, since they are most suitable for an active lifestyle and sports fans.

The strap does not get wet, fits tightly on the hand without twisting, which allows you to freely recognize the date and time at any time, if necessary. The clasp of the product is made according to a special principle, thanks to which you can always cut off the excess part, adjust the product to the appropriate size.

Cheaper products are equipped only with date and time functions, but more expensive and newfangled inventions are capable of performing the functions of a barometer and displaying the phases of the moon.

Bracelets for watches, like the watches themselves, have certain manufacturers, therefore they are represented by many brands.

For example, the Orient brand is engaged in the manufacture of bracelets for watches made of non-ferrous metals that do not contain precious alloys. The company has been working in the watch market for many years and has been able to win the trust of many grateful customers during this time.

Precious models are predominantly made in factories belonging to various jewelry brands.

Swiss company manufactures high quality models in platinum, steel and titanium. Sophisticated design, unusual color combinations and reliable fastenings make them the most suitable bracelets for high-end watches.

A variety of watch straps are produced by Swatch. Among the collections of this brand there are many metal products, as well as leather, silicone and rubber.

And among the decorative options there is a stunning pearl model in two rows.

Very often it may be necessary to shorten the watch bracelet.In order not to spoil the product, you should still contact a specialized workshop for the help of a professional.

But if this is not possible, you can familiarize yourself with some simple ways in this video. It should be noted that we are talking only about metal bracelets, since leather and rubber bracelets do not need such a procedure.

The choice of watch should be approached wisely and take the process seriously. When buying an expensive product, you should take into account all the nuances and all the outfits with which the product will be combined. But the dial itself hardly attracts as much attention as is given to the bracelet. That is why it is worth focusing on the correct choice of this particular part.

If you spend most of your time in the office and at business events, you will need the appropriate, most discreet and classic product. We advise you to pay attention to watches with metal - silver or gold bracelets, as well as on models with straps of dark shades.

If your life revolves around holidays and special occasions, then a wrist accessory should also match. Do not write off the good old metal bracelets, but you can always consider a model with additional decor in the form of precious stones.

In addition, stylists advise turning their attention to models with a decorative strap decorated with rhinestones, beads and large precious stones.

For everyday life, any watch model with a bracelet is suitable, the shade of which most successfully fits into the basic color scheme of your wardrobe. There are no problems with the choice of an everyday product if the girl has a capsule wardrobe in the same style.

No matter what material the watch bracelet is made of, it will still need proper care. And the method of care should be selected based on the qualities of the material itself.

For example, a leather bracelet should not be wetted, because when it dries, its quality can deteriorate greatly - the skin wrinkles and becomes uneven. It is only allowed to care with a damp cloth, which should be used to wipe the glossy surface of the leather.

Products made from natural, unpainted metals can be cleaned of dirt and stains with a cloth soaked in soapy water or hydrogen peroxide. Any stains and greasy marks will come off with this cleaning method.

Painted metal products require more careful and careful maintenance in order to prevent paint particles from peeling off. It is best to use special cleansing wipes available from specialized stores.

The most practical and unpretentious to care for are rubber and silicone straps, which can be easily cleaned only by rinsing with plain water. For stubborn stains, add just a drop of soap.
