In their Summer 2009 collection, Burberry showed a triple wrap leather strap watch (say that five times fast) for men that women will also no doubt love.
The Burberry watch features three leather straps and a sleek watch face. The design is currently only in their men's collection, but all Burberry loving women are hoping to see a female design soon.
Implications - Leather has always implied the idea of a rock n' roll lifestyle. Jackets and pants made from this material often depict the wearer as a rebel living an exciting, alternative lifestyle.
