Time to Colori your life
MANILA, Philippines - Watches are no longer mere time-keeping instruments, but also fashion accessories. The very versatile Colori, a brand from the Netherlands with Italian-influenced designs, has 16 collections of watches that can match a trendy consumer’s outfits and changing moods.
Colori watches have a stainless steel case back and are 5ATM water-resistant. “All Colori watches make use of high-precision Japanese quartz movement,” says Ron Offenbach, founder of the Offenbach group, the 15-year-old company that is behind the young brand. “Colori watches must also be good at telling time.”
Colori watches are available in more than 20 colors. They are 36mm, 40mm and 44mm in diameter. The Classic Chic collection is “elegant, with still a touch of color. Some of our watches are inspired by the seasons,” marketing director Gert-Jan Beukenkamp says, “such as the Chic Chrono collection, which consists of six autumn colored watches with chrono design.” The Summer Delight is a colorful collection consisting of three different designs, all featuring comfortable silicon straps. The White Summer collection projects a pure all-white look finished with colored details. In contrast, the Neon Nights collection pieces are all-black with four different neon colored details. The watches in these collections come in 40 mm diameter.
The Colour Combo collection combines Pantone colors for the ultimate mix of fashion, while the Colori Cool Fusion collection is a mix of sports and fashion. The Super Sports collection combines an understated black face with a variety of colorful straps. Meanwhile, the Digital Sports collection is characterized by “its strong case structure and robust design.”
The Cool Steel collection is one of the most popular lines of the brand. The Cool Chrono collection has a more traditional and elegant look with soft color variations. Also available with a rose and gold color case. The stunning Aluminum collection is in 12 different colors.
The all-metal watches in the Pure Metal collection are among the most sought after of the Colori watches, while the Amazing Rose collection combines zirconia stones and rose gold.
In 2013, Colori Jewels was introduced. The casual pieces in the colorful collection of fashion bracelets, solitaire rings and earrings are made with sterling silver and set with cubic zirconia in various shapes and sizes. All the rings have an adjustable silicon band so one size fits all and the colorful bracelets can be layered or mixed and matched; so also with the rings, for an arresting fashion statement.
Colori is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, Gateway and Cebu.
