A two-tone watch is a timepiece made from a combination of metals or materials in different tones. For example, stainless steel and yellow gold tones.
First hitting the market in the early 20th Century, two-tone watches rose to popularity during the 1930s and 1940s, inspired in part by the Art Deco movement. Many luxury brands began creating their own two-tone watches during the 1950s and 1960s, and by the 1970s and 80s, watchmakers began experimenting with new metal combinations and adding more intricate dials and complex designs into the mix.
Two-tone watches have reemerged as a must-have accessory, especially among those seeking a timepiece with a unique yet understated appeal.
Offering the best of both worlds—classic style with a contemporary edge—the two tone watch is versatile. In fact, most modern two-tone watches are equipped for modern terrain, including features such as water resistance, chronograph and solar capabilities.
Other materials commonly used to craft two-tone watches include leather, ceramic and stainless steel, all of which are lightweight and durable enough to be worn every day.
Available in a range of designs, these two tone watches are the perfect timepiece for any occasion. A two tone ladies watch can feel sleek and sophisticated, especially with diamond accents, while a two tone watch for men can command confidence, just like a black watch or a gold tone watch.
Truly refined, a two tone watch for women's and men's jewellery collection always makes a strong and stylish impact.
