Watches embellished with rice paper bug designs have become the new theme for this summer. These watches are attention grabbers while remaining simple and enjoyable to wear. I particularly took a liking to this Analog Yellow Butterfly Dial Watch by Fossil.   

In the dial of this watch beneath the hands hovers a stunning yellow monarch butterfly designed with rice paper.  Its trim is embellished with clear crystals for a touch of sophistication. The stainless steel Butterfly Watch is resistant up to 5 ATM with a 17 mm band width.

Rice Paper is made from rice straw, hemp, bamboo, or mulberry, and for centuries has been used in Japan and China for writing and creating artwork. This type of paper is typically preferred by crafters because of its distinctive texture and slight translucent appearance.    

Buy the Analog Yellow Butterfly Dial Watch directly through Fossil for $105.

While flipping through the latest issue of Lucky Magazine, I came upon the deal hunting section. I immediately noticed Tommy Hilfiger’s Slivertone Bracelet Watch in White . I took note of its crisp and clean design and thought it to be quite splendid. However, when I did a search on the net to find it, I also discovered the Enamel Bangle Watch. They are both unique and exquisite, but there is something about the Enamel Bangle Watch that I found particularly appealing. 

Hilfiger’s Enamel Bangle Watch depicts the Hilfiger brand’s iconic colors of red and blue, which bring magnetism to this watch. It’s made out of stainless steel with mixed metals and enamel coating. The rectangular dial contains the Hilfiger logo with numerical indices. The bangle-watch is water resistant up to 99 feet and the dial is protected with mineral crystals.  This accessory is the ideal way to add a timepiece and yet still look stylish with its bangle design. Buy the Enamel Bangle Watch through Macy’s for $105.
