For the autumn/winter 2015 season, Guess Watches has some exciting designs in store. Bringing together style and functionality, these timepieces reflect the brand as a whole. This latest range of watches are both modern and innovative, and great for everyday wear. 

Precious metals 

If snakeskin accessories easily catch your eye, you will love this part of the collection. These timepieces use a rose-coloured palette and are paired with grey to give it the perfect balance between refined style and edge. You can choose between a sport-infused multifunction watch in a polished rose gold tone case, a midsize chronograph-inspired design with a textured python dial or a bracelet-style timepiece in grey/rose gold python print. All timepieces have subtle details such as crystals accents and beading on the bracelets. 

Indigo illusion 

Guess Watches pairs blue with flecks of gold to create a range that combines the exotic with the glamourous. This range embraces unexpected colour pairings and unites enchanted emeralds with indigo blue to make a statement. The chronograph inspiration of this collection is in a polished blue case with a dial that features python details. For the girl that loves fashion accessories, the timepiece with a rectangular blue case has a slick surface and rope detailing around the entire bangle. 

Power couple 

Make a statement with these “his and hers” watches. You can choose between two styles — a flexible blue silicone strap and polished gold tone case, or two stainless steel pieces in blue and gold. The blue silicon strap watch for him has a matching blue top ring and multifunction dial, while the ladies’ version has a chronograph with an active design, thanks to the smooth silicone strap and intricate gold detailing. The stainless steel pieces have a strong bracelet and polished gold tone with a multifunctional blue dial. The timepiece for her has a classic moon phase and two-eye dial. 

Faces to Watch 

As part of Guess Watches’ Faces to Watch — Time to Give programme, the brand brings together style and philanthropy. Each year, a brand-new watch is designed and sold at Guess Watch outlets globally, and proceeds from the sale go directly to charity. The programme has raised over US$6.3 million (RM27.78 million) since its inception. This year, a radiant rose gold with Guess’ signature logo emblazoned on the dial supports the SOS Children’s Village in Huehuetoca, Mexico, by helping provide day care, vocational training and education.
