Wristwatches

I rarely post about wristwatches, but that's because I am extremely picky about watches! I don't wear one myself, and when I do, I normally wear a very petite little gold-plaited watch that used to belong to my great grandmother. I think I mostly prefer watches that aren't so obviously watches. I feel like they should look more like nice jewelry. Enjoy!
