WYWSAY: Tag Heuer

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

Today’s sixth installment of the What Your Watch Says About You series is Tag Heuer Link. Coincidentally enough, today is also the 34th birthday of  Tag Heuer Ambassador, Tiger Woods, who has also been known to wear the brand’s Link model.

As of late 2009, Tiger is no longer the pitchman for the brand (due to his…err…shall we say…”tarnished” reputation), and while he may no longer top America’s list of most likable athletes, Tag Heuer is still a favorite among American watch wearers.


- Celebrities: Paul Walker and Zac Efron. Clean cut, boyish good looks, athletic, the guy every guy wants to be, and every girl in the high school wants to date.

- Favorite Stores & Brands: Vineyard Vines, J. Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, Lacoste. Reasonably priced luxury these brands are all about preppy, sporty and classic menswear staples.

- Car: Audi A4. A Sporty, stylish, more affordable than its competitors make Audi, like the Tag Heuer, the favored luxury brand of Gen Y.

- Outerwear: A Patagonia Fleece is functional, and popular. Like a Tag Heuer, Patagonia is a brand that appeals to everyone from the college student, to the outdoorsman, to the young ibanker.

- Shoes: Cole Haan Loafers. Tag is like the little brother of Rolex Submariner- similarly, Cole Haan Loafers are the training wheels before the inevitable upgrade to a pair of Tod’s driving mocs.

- Reading Material: Sports Illustrated. The every-man’s bible. You’ve had your subscription for over a decade.

- Drink: Hoegaarden. Taking a step up from American brews like Bud and Coors- an imported beer says “I’m masculine but classy”

So, are you a Tag Heuer?

If you answered yes, you are sporty, young, traditional, essential, popular, fiscally conscious and handsome.

If this is the watch for you, check out these two BRAND NEW Tags for sale on the eRelyx website; just click the pictures to view more details!

WYWSAY: Vintage Rolex

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Our What Your Watch Says About You series continues with…

Part V: The Vintage Rolex

-Celebrities: Quintessential California style queens Rachel Bilson, Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie know how to mix high and low, vintage and designer. A Men’s oversized Vintage Gold Rolex mixed with a wrist full of bangles and beads epitomizes the brand of hollywood hippy-chic embraced by these celebs.

-Style Icon: The Queen and Inventor of Boho-Chic herself, Rachel Zoe is known to, not only, rock her own oversized vintage gold Rolex, and rock it well, but she made the gold men’s watch trend hot in Hollywood.

-Sunnies: Ray-Ban wire frame wayfarers. Stylish, trendy, and slightly alternative- these sunglasses are the go-to for “vintage rolex celebrity” Rachel Bilson, and just like the Vintage Gold Rolex, these shades  are the ideal median between high-end designer and unknown hipster.

-Favorite Brands: Nothing says boho-chic style quite like Missoni or Pucci. Vibrant prints with a vintage feel and designer price tag go hand-in-hand with a vibe of the vintage Rolex.

-Handbag: The Vintage Rolex girl is a mix of designer and hippie chic with a little edge- thats where her Balenciaga moto bag comes in. Luxurious slouchy leather in a rainbow of hues combined with fringe details and metal hardware, make for the vintage rol-y girl’s perfect purse.

-Vacation Destination: St. Barths. The “preferred playground of the rich and famous” according to the New York Times travel guide, this upscale, Caribbean hot-spot is littered with celebrities, media moguls and faces from the Forbes 500 alike. This exclusive, island destination is a favorite spot for the elite to kick-back and relax. The unity of laid-back and upscale that exists on St. Barths mirrors the feel of this classy vintage Rolex.

-Beauty: Although she may be relatively au-natural when it comes to her beauty regime, she knows not skimp where it counts- using only the best in skincare from brands like Kiehl’s. Like a Vintage Rolex, Kiehl’s is boutique, brand-name skincare with essential, timeless appeal.

So, are you a Vintage Rolex?

If so, you are a “Zoe-bot” who knows how to mix high and low, embraces the SoCal fashion vibe, loves vintage and designer labels, is boho-chic, trendy, one-of-a-kind and laid-back, but enjoys the finer, more luxurious things in life.

WYWSAY: Panerai

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

What Your Watch Says About You: Part IV

Panerai Luminor Marina

-Celebrities: We vote Adrien Grenier and David Beckham as the ideal picks for Panerai men. They aren’t your standard classic Hollywood pretty-boys-next-door. They both appreciate the finer things in life, gravitating towards a tailored, chic look while maintaining a little bit of edge and intrigue. They are the essence of an expensive, sleek, contemporary and stand-out watch like Panerai. Oh, and did i mention? The three together pretty much define the word HOT.

-Outerwear: A leather motorcycle jacket from the prestigious and established European brand, Belstaff. Reputable, expensive, but slightly under-the-radar, makes Belstaff, like Panerai, a hot contemporary luxury brand thats favored by a sleek, hip, younger crowd.

-Designer: John Varvatos captures the essence of Panerai in his apparel, beauty and shoe design. Varvatos makes his name by infusing the luxury, upscale, menswear market with a little rock & roll edge. The tailored-but-messy, lower-east-side meets madison avenue, is a unique approach to fashion that is youthful, cool and reflective of a Panerai Luminor.

-Vacation Destination: Prague is the choice spot for the Panerai hipster. Slightly off the beaten path, Bohemia is all the rage in tourism these days. History, culture and vibrant nightlife make this Eastern Europe the ideal spot for a Panerai guy’s getaway.

-Car: Range Rover Sport in black or silver, with all the upgrades. Naturally.

-Gadgets: He was the first to get on board with the iPad. The Panerai guy loves to be on the cutting edge of fashion and technology, always having to have the latest, coolest toys.

-Music: A little alternative, but always excellent, quality artists. Vampire Weekend and the latest album from Kid Cudi are on his current “most played” list.

-Favorite Store: Barneys New York. Here he can find all his favorite upscale designer brands. Its contemporary luxury without being stuffy.

So, are you a Panerai?

If you said yes, you are a little alternative, hip, cool, sleek, edgy, young, trendy, contemporary, and have excellent taste.

Convinced this is the watch for you? Check out our impressive collection of Panerais on eRelyx by visiting our site- www.eRelyx.com, or clicking the pictures below! These are just a few examples of our extensive Panerai inventory!

WYWSAY: Chanel J12

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

What Your Watch Says About You Part Three:

Chanel J12

-Celebrities: The Chanel J12 in black is the Fashionista’s watch. It’s chic, a little edgy, and screams “posh.” Literally, we think its the perfect Posh Spice watch. Which is why we picked Victoria Beckham along with Angelina Jolie and Kim Kardashian as our celebs that we feel encompass the sexy vibe of our black Chanel J12.

-Outerwear: Dolce & Gabanna leather jacket in black with a slim and sexy cut. D&G designs represent the quintessential femme-fatale, just like the J12.

-Shoes: Christian Louboutin. High, sexy, platform stilletos in trendy patterns and designs. Like Chanel’s double C’s- Louboutin’s famous red soles are the quiet but definite way of letting the world know exactly who you’re wearing.

-Sunnies: Tom Ford Black Sunglasses. Seductive, contemporary and so-hot-right-now.

-Handbag: Botkier. Like our Chanel J12 the Botkier “Trigger” bag is known without being obvious and conveys a little edge despite its luxury designer status.

-Vacation Destination: The Chanel J12 girl is a true city chick. Milan, LA, NYC are your go-to hot spots.

-Scent: Chloe. A musky, mysterious and sensual scent from a hot fashion house.

-Favorite Stores & Brands: Henri Bendel’s in New York is your go-to for department store style shopping. As you are always on the cutting edge of Fashion, here you can load up on the latest trends from the hottest designers- everyone from Rag & Bone to Alexander McQueen to Philip Lim.

So, are you the hottest watch in town?

Are you a Chanel J12?

If the answer is yes, you’re a sex-kitten, trendsetter, fashionista, label-conscious, chic, urban, hip, a little mysterious but the kind of girl who’s a staple on the fashion scene- loving to see and be seen.

WYWSAY: Rolex Submariner

Friday, December 17th, 2010

“Part Two” of our What Your Watch Says About You series-

Rolex Submariner

-Celebrities: As one of the best-selling watches of all time, we naturally associate the Rolex Submariner with the number one best-selling actor- Leonardo DiCaprio. We also like Jake Gyllenhaal for his charm, clean-cut good-looks and his diverse dating record only serves to support our comparison- like a Rolex, he is loved by old and young alike (Reese Witherspoon-35, T.Swift-21)

-Outerwear: The Rolex Submariner, like a Barbour coat, is both rugged and stylish, functional and fashionable, and both are well-established, dependable brands.

-Shoes: Tods leather driving loafers. Dependable and basic, just like a Rolex.

-Vacation Destination: Nantucket, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard- where the New England set go to summer. The preppy vibe matches well with the classic nature of a Rolex Submariner.

-Car: The BMW 3 series. Its the luxury car everyone recognizes and loves. What else can we say? It just fits.

-Favorite Stores: The Rolex Submariner man likes his clothes to be high quality classics with a great fit and always in style. Brooks Brothers and Saks are the go-tos for the submariner man.

-Cocktail: A Manhattan- for its ability to be at once, masculine and elegant.

-Reading Material: The Rolex Submariner man and the GQ man are one and the same, (and he has the yearly subscription to prove it). On his bookshelf- you’ll find popular reads from contemporary favorites like Tom Clancy, John Grisham, and Dan Brown.

So, are you a Rolex Submariner?

If the answer is Yes, then you are classic, popular, dependable, widely recognized and admired, reliable, rugged, upscale, stylish and truly timeless.

What Your Watch Says About You: Cartier Tank

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Welcome to “Part One” of our latest Blog series What Your Watch Says About You-

The Cartier Tank Watch.

- Celebrities: Jackie O was the original “Cartier Tank” woman. Today, we associate celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, and Jen Aniston with the Tank watch. The quintessential woman-next-door, these celebs are loved by men and women of all ages. They are at once classically beautiful and traditional. They know what works for them in fashion and beauty and stick with it, earning them their spots on magazines’ “best dressed” lists year after year. Even though we know Jen is often seen wearing her gold oversized Rolex, her sophisticated, clean and elegant style fit to what the Cartier woman embodies.

- Outerwear: Burberry trench coat. The Burberry trench, like a Cartier Tank, is an absolute wardrobe essential for the classic woman.

- Shoes: A pair of classic Jimmy Choo black pumps and Chanel ballet flats. The woman who wears a Cartier Tank believes in luxury investment pieces- Chic black heels and practical Chanel flats are the only shoes she’ll ever need and will never go out of style.

- Sunnies: An oversized pair of black shades from Chloe or Oliver Peoples. Just like Jackie would wear.

- Handbag: We equate the Cartier Tank with a Hermes Birkin bag. Its sophisticated, elegant, high-class without being flashy. Like the Tank, the Birkin is the “one” bag every woman aspires to own and may be the only purse she ever needs. The Birkin’s design- understated, clean, squared-off lines- even mimic the physicality of a Cartier Tank.

- Vacation Destination: The Cartier Tank woman summers in the Hamptons, likely East Hampton, as it is the more established side of the island. While Paris would be an obvious vacation destination for a Cartier Tank lady, she enjoys the accessibility of the Hamptons, and being a part of this quintessentially chic summer scene.

- Reading Material: the current NYTimes best-seller, Vanity Fair and her much beloved copy of Great Gatsby.

- Cocktail: A cool Gin and Tonic with fresh lime. The drink is clean, crisp, fresh and sophisticated, just like the Cartier Tank.

So, are you a Cartier Tank?

If the answer is Yes, you are chic, understated, classic, beautiful and versatile. The Cartier is a timeless symbol of elegance and sophistication.
