Hello, I have a few days to decide on a watch and need your help.

I’ve been discussing between Baignoire and Tank with some of you ladies in their respective threads but going to show all of them here.

1) Mini Baignoire Leather
2) Tank Mini
3) Baignoire Bangle (rose gold for size reference only)
4) Baignoire Bangle in YG (ideal color)


My partner thinks the leather Baignoire looks best. The bangles are a bit too dressy for daily use in my opinion but they’re absolutely beautiful!

The Tank seems a bit small. Actually they all look significantly smaller in person than in photos.

I would wear a regular Love bracelet on the opposite wrist. I dress super casual!

I like the leather Baignoire on you! Tank mini is new which is cool, but honestly I prefer the classic size. Not a fan of the bangle watch, somehow looks dated.

The bangle is the most interesting, but would the watch face stay ontop of your wrist? I know my bracelets and bangles always shift & slide down a bit and that would be annoying for a watch

I absolutely love the baignoire bangle on you, it’s truly stunning! I understand your concern about it feeling a bit dressy because it’s all gold, but I don’t think it’s any dressier than the Love bangle. If you love it more than the strap version, choosing the strap just because of that concern might leave you with regrets later.

Personally, and this is just my opinion, feel the Baignoire line is a bit dated, reminds me of the 80’s. Whereas the tank is more classic, whatever size you go for the tank won’t go out of fashion.
If budget allows prehaps buy both the leather strap ones (Tank & Baignoire) and return the one you don’t want. Or if in future you’re going to buy another watch then really go buy now what sings to you. It really doesn’t matter what I or anyone else thinks, you’re going to wear it, therefore to spend that kind of money you must love it. And if you wear almost every day you’re going to get your monies worth.

Personally I think that the small tank looks best on your hand. Good luck in choosing….

I initially chose the Baignoire bangle mainly because I love the full metal one so much. It is such a clean crisp look. However, there is a certain softer charm and appeal of the Baignoire in leather.

I do think that the leather mini baignoire and leather mini tank look pretty good with your outfit.

The small tank feels like its taking up a lot space, watch face wise. Though that's just a matter of personal preference and it will be much easier to read.

Are you intending to use the watch to read time? Or more like a piece of jewerly?

I totally agree with you, I am leaning more towards a leather strap because my daily outfits are very casual. I’m actually wearing a wool coat there which is on the dressier side for me!

I think the bangle is beautiful but it’s a little heavy and flashy for what I’d like. Maybe someday when I’m able to expand my collection..

This would be more of an accessory than to tell time since I’ve always got my phone on me.

One thing to note is that I’m getting my partner a Tank for our wedding. Maybe a matching mini would be a cute sentimental choice :whut:

It seems like you're being drawn to the leather strap version and I think it is a beautiful classic to start off with!
Timeless and versatile it will go with anything.

As for Baignoire vs Tank that depends on what makes your heart sing more. :heart:Having matching watches is very cute and sentimental (and of course, nothing wrong with being matchy-matchy with your partner) but I'd go with what brings you more joy when you wear it.
