A flexible wardrobe is always a practical choice for me, and versatile
accessories are definitely included. In the end, all of it expresses a story about your style. It’s no
secret that I am a watch wearing lady, and even though technology has somewhat morphed
many of us into only using our smartphones for time telling moments, I still
love wearing watches.
It’s also fun to have more bold and playful accessories to choose from, especially
if you’re not the type of person to go full on glam or daring in your garments. iKen, (pronounced \’eee-ken\, which is Japanese for ‘opinion’) produces unisex timepieces and makes it easy to build your own custom watch ... literally!
When I came across iKen timepieces, the concept behind their design immediately caught my eye, initially because of the wide range in colour options. I mean, having over 248,000 feasible combinations for a watch is (in no doubt) a generous amount to offer. That's a multitude of options, to say the least.
But, there was also another area of their brand that I cared about and fully supported—their giving back efforts and partnership with PACER toward anti-bullying. iKen donates $1 for every orange watch face sold, encouraging children to be themselves freely. It's simple: no trends needed, just create your own style. Go for the bold or for a more subtle colour story, the choice is up to you.

It's simple: no trends needed, just create your own style. Go for the bold or for a more subtle colour story, the choice is up to you.

First, select a hue or theme. For example, choose all-in-one, colour blocked, or
your favourite sport team and flag colours. Then, start building layers to add
to your timepiece. It’s that easy! I decided on a fun colour scheme, one that I
did not have yet—grey, pink, and purple and red, white, and blue, which may all be mixed
and matched together.
Here's a small guide on developing your personal iKen timepiece.

Great idea (didn't Swatch do something similar in the 1980s?). You wear it so well! x
ReplyDeleteI like this idea! You can have tons of different watches like that!
ReplyDeleteIch bin da wie du, auch ich trage gerne Uhren. Nicht wegen der Uhrzeit, sondern weil eine Uhr für mich ein Schmuckstück ist.
ReplyDeleteDer Shop hört sich interessant an. Mir gefällt, dass von dem Verkauf einer bestimmten Uhr 1$ gespendet wird.
Schönes Wochenende
it' a super cute idea, love these watches!
ReplyDeletegreat coat too!

Ah, I don't think I could live out wearing a watch! There's nothing more irritating when you leave the house forgetting to put it on. The idea of being able to customise your watch is so cool. Love this look Madison, your coat is so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a lovely weekend,

You look marvellous. I haven't worn a watch in years actually. I used to always have to have one on, but I just gave up wearing one and it's been better for me, though I do check the time on my phone, but I like not having a watch. Happy Friday doll x
ReplyDeleteLovely look, darling!
ReplyDeleteVery cool watches!

Hi Madison! How cool, I really like the idea of this watch, is funny and creative, at least the one you own is just yours. I like the model you chose, you look very elegant and pretty! Kisses dear, happy weekend! xo

Loving that watch, Madison. And how awesome that part of the proceeds go to anti-bullying.
ReplyDeleteI'm a watch gal too! I have a collection of 5 watches and alternate between them. An outfit just doesn't feel complete to me without a watch.

I love the idea of being able to design your own watch like that. Your choice is great and so is iKen's support against anti-bullying.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend Madison!

ReplyDeleteGreat! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emmy for your comment. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lilli,
ReplyDeleteYes, they really allow you to pick and choose, so it was fun deciding on what colour combinations to love the most! Enjoy your weekend as wellxx
Not sure, I will have to investigate that one up, but yes I do think Swatch had changeable bevels in the 80s ... Thanks! x
ReplyDeleteNeither can I! I love wearing watches and agree, it's a bit irritating when I leave my watch. Thanks for your comment dear. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like me, glad that I am not the only one! :-) Thanks for commenting. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Audrey! :)

Thank you Maiken! So happy that you like the details in my outfit.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your w/e.
Take care! :-)
You are so right about technology and the use of smartphones as time piece. I haven't worn a wrist watch in years but i do want to get one again soon. They are great accessories. You look amazing. Great post.

This is seriously the coolest concept ever - love this! Also pertinent...these watches look gorgeous on you!!

Reminds me of my watch in gradeschool called Logo Swiss. The strap was interchangeable so I looked like I had lots of watches. Very cool when you're 11 yrs old. Everyone was into Swatch then. I like the concept behind Iken. You can customise your look based on your outfit and your mood. Hope you're having a good weekend Madison x
ReplyDeleteI quite like the watches in this article. It's funny you posted it at the moment. My girlfriend bought a Marc Jacobs one and the rose gold on the strap has started wearing away already. Really poor, if you ask me I wouldn't recommend anyone getting one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rowena, glad that you were able to view the post. :) /Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Arash! Yes, I loved that these pieces were very unique in that the entire watch can be changed. I've only seen maybe a bevel piece being able to convert. That's unfortunate about your girlfriend's MJ watch, you would think it would last longer being that it's a designer brand.
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember Swatch, I had one of my own, They had bold colours, etc. I loved the concept of these, especially since the entire watch can be tranformed. Thanks! xx/Madison
ReplyDeleteThanks, love! happy weekend. x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey're cute and look great on you, Madison. I haven't worn a watch in years but when I did, I couldn't leave the house without it :)

Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteHave a grand Sunday, dear Madison.

cool watches! i love anything that i can choose my own color with!
ReplyDeleteI love a good watch but I always forget to wear them as I tend to look at my phone rather than the watch. Technology hey? Love that jacket on you, it's a great shape on you.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear that iKen are supporting anti-bullying. What a creative approach to mixing and matching too. One for every colour scheme!
ReplyDeleteThose colorful watches would surely be the perfect pop of color to any neutral themed look. And how I'm loving that lovely sweater dress you're wearing!

I adore the colors you've picked to wear with this outfit! It totally makes the watch pop! AND your purse is to die for!
ReplyDeleteI love your classic coat, its such a polished piece, exceptionally styled. These watches are so creatively cool, I like how you can interchange them. Thanks for your fashionable insight, may your week be an inspiring one :)
ReplyDeletethat's a cool concept. i love it!
ReplyDeleteyou look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sam. xx
