TWO-TONE
TIMING
CHICAGO WOMEN LOOKING TO
MAKE A SAVVY FASHION STATEMENT
THIS FALL ARE TURNING TO
BRACELET WATCHES, WHOSE
TWO-TONE LINKS ARE SUDDENLY
ALL THE RAGE.

While timepieces with colorful leather and rubber
straps continue to offer women a great way to
accessorize, metal bracelets—which provide
a shimmering alternative, wrapping beautifully
around the wrist and moving with the wearer—
returned to this year's Swiss watch shows with a
vengeance. Many watch brands offer two-tone
bracelets in supple links or in fixed styles that
mime a cuff to offer a look that makes each as
much a piece of treasured jewelry as a well-crafted
watch. For more watch features and expanded coverage
