Tsovet
Clean and simple Scandinavian design, the Tsovet SVT-CN38's stainless steel bezel and brown Italian leather strap are the perfect tones to complement that Riviera style you've been trying out recently. Think linen suits and sockless loafers.
Komono
Belgian-crafted with a Japanese quartz movement, Komono watches bring a futuristic look to classically designed pieces. For the summer, the Blue Cognac face pairs nicely with the warm days and breezy beaches. An added bonus if you want some more color: artist and illustrator Andy Rementer recently collaborated with the brand for a sunny set of watches perfect for summer.
Summer Time
Between the summer beach houses, new swimwear and budgeting for copious amounts of alcohol to be drank while wearing said swimwear at the aforementioned beach house, you're probably not left with much on the bankroll. But that doesn't mean you don't want a timepiece that will keep you looking fresh while keeping track of time. And hey, we appreciate a classic Submariner just as much as the next guy, but if you're looking to keep some extra scratch in your pockets, this compilation of affordable summer timepieces should help. Happy timekeeping.

School of Watches
Do you know your movements? Here's a simple explanation of what makes your timepiece tick.
Daniel Wellington
Brushed rose gold and a combination leather/nato strap play off each other with Daniel Wellington's newest Grace collection. The minimalist design that reflects every collection is still there albeit this time with a bit more playfulness. The Grace collection's nautical-inspired look features a thinner bezel and 36mm case that transitions nicely from the boat to the bar. May we suggest: upon purchase, pick up the crocodile leather strap for a little added luxury on the right occasion.
Grace Warwick watch, $229

Don't worry about replacing a battery, like, ever. This bad boy's solar powered.
