# Festive Stone-Encrusted Timepieces Turn Heads While Wearing the Bejeweled Melbourne Time By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-11-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melbourne-watch References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2012/11/28/adidas-originals-watches-melbourne-limited-edition-holiday-2012/) & [adidas](http://www.adidas.com/com/originals/) If you were hoping to see the Melbourne watch decked out in silver and gold for Christmas, well your wish has just been granted. For the [Adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-sneaker-1) Originals Holiday 2012 collection, the solid steel timepiece is blinding with a ticking face that contains [397 stones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-co-1). Circling the shiny interior are more stones, just in case that wasn't enough bling for you. The band of the Melbourne watch is plated in [polished rose gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fine-metallic-series), a more subdued but highly sophisticated metal finish. The limited edition watch is a very dashing take on a timepiece that is more dressy than a sports watch, but still made for everyday use. You'll want to wear this watch only on special occasions, as all of those crystals may blind someone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bejeweled Timepieces:** Opportunity to create luxurious timepieces adorned with precious stones for those seeking extravagant accessories. - **Limited Edition Watches:** Chance to create exclusive timepieces with unique designs for collectors and fashion enthusiasts. - **Sophisticated Metal Finishes:** Potential to develop watches with polished rose gold or other high-end metal finishes to cater to the sophisticated market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for luxury watch brands to create high-end bejeweled timepieces that cater to affluent consumers looking for opulent accessories. - **Fashion Accessories:** Possibility for fashion accessory brands to tap into the limited edition watch market by offering unique and collectible timepieces. - **Jewelry:** Chance for jewelry brands to expand their product offerings by creating sophisticated and bejeweled watches that combine fashion and function. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Melting Crystalline Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp17-meca10.md) - [Golden Luxe Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-x-timex.md) - [Celebratory Celestial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gcwb5000un-carbon-edition.md) - [Gold-Tonal Ring Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crw001g9jr.md) - [Rugged Modern Holiday Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-3.md) - [Elegant Metallic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breitling-chronomat-automatic-36.md) - [Posh Pastel-Hued Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnold-son-dstb-42.md) - [Diamond Smartwatch Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-concept-1.md) - [Tough Chromatic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-polychromatic-accents-collection.md)
