It blurs the realities between [fashion and a timepiece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmds5610ma7er). Now three decades later, the team brings back the cuff watch by alternating the [metal and leather straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartlet) for what is a literal shirt cuff itself. The watch is integrated into the cuff and it would button around the wrist to wear. This pairs perfectly with a full-sleeve shirt or a blazer for a streamlined look. The watch measures 32mm at the case and it is finished with a striped pattern. The faux cuff has two buttons which actually function as a wrist adjustment. Other details include the 30mm water resistance.
