There has been in the early to mid 1950s a fashion for men to sport gold wrist chains, it wasn't only a 1970s afflication. And remember those huge coin rings from the early/1990s?
The message is clear: if you don't want to look like a pimp, give ostentetious jewellery a miss.
Hilarious because most jewelry was originally designed for and worn mostly by men.
Fortunately I dont read a lot of papers here but the UK seems to have a lot of publications that write articles stipulating that men are doing something embarrassing and has better stop! Where that outraged, collective, normative standard comes from would be nice to know.
Do they have the same amount of pieces lamenting the behavior of women too? Or, as in seemingly all other social areas, is it only men that are responsible for frightening the family dog?
Wear lots of jewellery in the UK and you'll either look like you feed other members of the criminal fraternity to pigs, or add to it shell suits and a cigar and you're a massive paedophile.
UK taste is best observed...our climate makes are miserable and in that we are extremely critical, and we are only moved when things are truly great. Arabs, Russians and Eurotrash are ruining the look of London. Of course the cold Anglo-Saxons have the best taste but add the wistful Celt blood...and you have the best of both worlds.
Velvet Maseratis?
I ask you.

A small watch (<39mm) in precious metal, alternatively a nice 1950-1980ies Oyster. Maybe nice cufflinks. No rings. Done.
^Yeah baby, and if you can't afford the above a vintage Omega Seamaster, present day Ole Mathiesen, or Longines Conquest vintage stylee will do in no particular order.
a 1960ies 33mm YG omega, longines even audemars or vacheron should be doable for everyone
The guy who invented the Macintosh doesn't wear anything...he's dead.
But his glasses live on....I've just purchased a pair, well, I still have to pick them up and pay for them.
I've had a lot of round and oval glasses over the years, not quite as thick as Corbusier's in a roundish style, although in the Lemtosh, yes. I always think round spectacles give a very creative impression. So we'll see how I get along with Steve Job's favs.
Philip Johnson wore them too, ripping his look off Corb and his architecture of Mies.
...what a cad.
Getting an iWatch.
There's always that Tag Connected watch that they are massively marketing along with sunglass as the market for the Tag Monaco has now collapsed. Even I am thinking of buying one.
