— December 4, 2012 — Fashion
The Benjamin Hubert Plicate watches take conventional timepiece styles to the next dimension. These ornate and intricate designs are eye catching and the watches are completely functional. The face of each timepiece is pleated to represent the different intervals in time and are attached to a polyurethane strap.

These accessories are playful and sporty. They come in a range of neutrals including a heather grey and muted army green, making them perfect for everyday use and wear. They also come with snap closures, making them more casual and giving the watches a less serious feel. The watches are all made with adjustable notches and can fit wrists of any size.
