Aside from her wedding ring and earrings, Victoria Meek generally wears only one other type of jewelry.
“I have always worn big watches,” says the 34-year-old Hixson resident. “I own more than one big watch. My Rolex is a large-faced women’s watch.
“I think it’s a fashion statement, but I don’t feel like it’s going to be a trend that’s going to go away.”
According to local jewelers, she’s right.
Until the last decade, big-faced watches were seen as rugged and masculine. Today, however, women are shelving their dainty, feminine timepieces for ones that are big and bulky, often an 1 1/2 inches wide or bigger.
