Pop Star Justin Bieber Jumps Aboard the Bandwagon of Micro-Timepieces
White Ceramic Watches: A Trend for All Wrist Sizes
White ceramic watches are making a statement in the world of horology, with watch companies like Rado, IWC, and Audemars Piguet offering cool-looking options. One of the most iconic white ceramic watches is the Royal Oak, available in various sizes and designs.
The Royal Oak collection includes vintage-inspired "Jumbos," larger complicated versions, classic models, and even mini versions measuring just 23 mm in diameter. Among these, the 34 mm Royal Oak retains the collection's signature octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet, "Grande Tapisserie" dial, and thin automatic movement.
Justin Bieber is among the celebrities who own a white ceramic Royal Oak watch, specifically a smaller version of the standard "Jumbo" model. The smaller case size contributes to a perfectly baller timepiece that is lightweight, hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant, and suitable for business occasions. It also has a summery, carefree look.
The trend towards smaller watches is not limited to the Royal Oak. Brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, IWC, Omega, and Citizen are now offering their classic watches in various sizes and configurations. For instance, Citizen has recently introduced the Tsuyosa 60 series with smaller 37-mm cases, blending sporty, elegant styles that are accessible to all, regardless of gender.
Even watchmakers known for their large watches, like Panerai and IWC, seem to be coming around to producing smaller watches. The 39 mm Jumbo Royal Oak is considered large, and a 34 mm watch would have been considered too small for a man 10 years ago. However, times are changing, and many watch companies are not differentiating between men's and ladies' pieces.
In essence, smaller watches can still be robust and not necessarily dainty. Whether you have a smaller or larger wrist, you can find a watch that fits well and looks dope. The 34 mm Royal Oak, released by Audemars Piguet in 2020, is a testament to this trend, not as a dedicated ladies' line, but as a smaller version of the classic luxury sports watch. So, whether you're a fan of the summery, carefree look or prefer something more suited for business occasions, there's a white ceramic watch out there for you.
