We’re a bit obsessed with watches at MFL HQ; and why shouldn’t we be? There’s nothing not to love about them. They’re useful as well as stylish, and therefore make it a lot easier to justify spending large chunks of our salaries on them. They’re great for wearing for special occasions, and also great to wear every single day either by themselves or layered up with other jewellery staples. Investing in vintage watch straps is also another great investment because you then know that it will be great quality. Let’s face it, watches are pretty awesome, and here is our pick of the best sleek and stylish watches currently out there:

1.– Clean, classic, fresh and fashion forward are just a few words to describe this beautiful accessory; and the best thing is that it’s available in all sorts of different colour variations, so there really is a personal watch out there for everyone! Marc by Marc Jacobs Henry silver stainless steel watch

2.– A chic and stylish watch that will be just at home on the wrist of a teenager as it would be on her mother or grandmother. A timeless timepiece with the added bonus of sparkles on the side. Swarovski crystal dark grey dial watch

3.– If you want something a little bit different that will spark conversation and get you a lot of (good) attention, then this is the watch for you! And it’s unisex too, so you can get away with buying it as a present for your boyfriend and “accidentally taking it” every now and again. Bonus! Karl Lagerfeld gold unisex watch 

4.– Although this comes in two colours, there’s something very striking about the gold version that we just can’t seem to get enough of. Elegant and classic with the vintage roman numerals sitting pretty on the face of the watch; definitely one for the chic lady! Dreamline Arc cubic zirconia watch 

5.– A luxurious watch with mother of pearl in the dial, individually hand-set diamonds (who needs numbers when you have diamonds, right?!) and a steel bracelet strap with fold-over clasp. Plus you get a three-year guarantee so you can wear it without worrying about it! Bulova women’s mother of pearl diamond automatic watch 

6.– Michael Kors watches are loved by fashion bloggers, editors and reader alike – it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why these watches are so popular. A true fashion investment if ever there was one! Michael Kors rose plated chronograph watch

7.– A striking bi-coloured chronograph watch that pretty much speaks for itself. Wear on a tanned wrist with minimal accessories surrounding it to make it really stand out! DKNY rose gold and ceramic chronograph watch
