Move Over Smart Watches, Vintage Watches Are Taking Over

By Grace Coleman

Vintage watches are this Fall’s It Girl accessory. You’ve likely seen them when browsing “Parisian Pinterest” boards, flipping through fashion magazines, or possibly on Emma Chamberlain’s Instagram. The right watch can elevate a look with a pop of gold or silver, and shopping vintage allows the wearer to find something totally unique. What’s old is new again, and it’s hard to imagine these watches ever going out of style. Luckily, ONFEMME has you covered with a curated collection of vintage watches from Manhattan Watch Company. If you’ve been searching for an investment piece you’ll wear for years to come, look no further!

Why Manhattan Watch Company

Located in New York City’s diamond district, Manhattan Watch Company is the premier vintage and pre owned watch dealer in NYC. It’s impossible to go wrong when choosing a watch from their selection, but if you’re searching for a statement piece, consider this 18k Gold Cartier Panthere Ronde Watch. It’s both classic and eye catching with a row of diamonds encircling its face.

Cartier Baignoire

Cartier Baignoire watches are in the midst of a resurgence, and with good reason! Their oval faces and dainty wristbands make for the perfect women’s watch. The demand is real – Cartier’s new Baignoire Mini sold out almost instantaneously last August. Buying vintage is an easy way to avoid the waitlist. If you’re looking for a trendy yet timeless piece, this 18k Gold Cartier Baignoire watch is the way forward!

Patek Philippe Les Grecques

As the last family-owned luxury watch manufacturer in Geneva, Patek Philippe watches carry a history of fine craftsmanship. If you’re in the market for something simplistic yet chic, consider this vintage Les Grecques watch. Its greek column motif on black leather adds an understated elegance to any outfit. The star of the show, however, is its gold frame with factory set diamonds. Yes, please!

Blue Enamel Dial Vintage Rolex Bubble Back

This Blue Enamel Dial Rolex Bubble Back watch is a vintage gem. Named for their rounded (bubble-like) casebacks, these watches marked an important time in Rolex’s early history. During the 1930s, the Bubble Back style was designed to make space for Rolex’s new self-winding hardware. With its gold frame, sturdy construction, and striking blue enamel dial, this rare find is sure to elevate your wardrobe.

18k Gold Van Cleef & Arpels

This 18k Gold Van Cleef & Arpels watch is a capsule wardrobe essential. Its simplistic yet refined design is accented with a stunning gold frame. With its strong commitment to quality and craft, Van Cleef & Arpels is a brand that will never go out of style. This thoughtfully minimalist watch might be the missing ingredient in your all-neutral outfit.

Hermes Cape Cod

It’s hard to find a brand more sought after than Hermès. The French fashion house has long been synonymous with exclusivity and elegance. This understated Cape Cod Steel watch is the perfect new addition to your tastefully-preppy wardrobe. As stated on the brand’s website, “The Hermès magic touch has a knack for transforming time pieces into lucky charms.”
