While plaid and argyle have been worn by the upper crust of society for generations, nobody has thought to make a watch with a face utilizing these standard patterns—until now. [New luxury watch brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reine-de-naples) BlumLux recently launched their “Louie Quattro” model.

Not only does the BlumLux Louie Quatro feature the [stylish patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-andy-warhol), it also has [46 diamonds on the bezel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-co-1), for that extra flair.

The BlumLuz Louis Quatro comes in three patterns which is available in 3 styles: Wisdom (light plaid), Integrity (argyle), and Strength (dark plaid).
