Snowfall in Skagen

Hello! How are you this CNY eve.

I’m so apologetic about my slow posts.

With work piled up to my neck and the CNY season, the only thing on my mind at 1030 every night is to hit the sack and say hello to beauty sleep.

But, I did set aside some time over the weekend to do a mini shopping.

And I finally, finally got the Skagen watch that I’ve been eying all Christmas.

I’ve been wanting to get a white watch since forever. Not many does white watch just right. It’s either too plastic, too juvenile, or too thick.

Why doesn’t anyone do sleek feminine white watches?

This white watch is from Skagen’s Christmas series “Snowfall in Skagen”. How befitting given that I have this crazy love affair with winter and snow.

It comes in a pretty package.

If only our fruits look that lovely and edible.

And here’s the watch.

It came in three other colours, but my eye was only set for the white.

I love the clean surface with minimal markers. The frame is petite and sits well on the wrist. It’s like a bracelet except that it reads time. I’m also up for anything mother of pearl and bling.

The great thing about Skagen’s watches are that they have a life time warranty for crystals and movement. So if a Swarovski crystal falls, you will be able to get it repaired for free. This I figured, is a great advantage - can you imagine my horrified expression when I was told by City Chain that they charge $5 to replace a tiny Swarovski crystal? I can buy 72 mini crystals with that amount! My ToyWatch is no better. It costs $30 to get a crystal replacement.

Flabbergasted.

So there, I’m happy with my Skagen watch. It’s the second from the family - the first is a pink Skagen watch that I got at a special Reebonz sale for $75 - and probably not the last.
