2013 Best Fashion Watches for Men Over $500

The modern man is not afraid to walk the street in style. In fact, being sleek and chic comes naturally to him. He is confident and he stands tall among the rest. He has suave and great finesse. He is undeniably smooth and stylish.

The fashionable man gets it when dressing geek chic, rock edgy, classic, or even hipster. From casual style to formal, he rises above because his own taste and class is complemented and enhanced by what he is wearing. Even without the familiar names and monograms of luxury brands such as Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and even DKNY, he is able to pull everything off.

To do this, he needs the right essentials. From tailored shirts, casual roll-up sleeves and cashmere crew necks, and wingtips, oxfords, boots, sneakers and monkstraps, he mixes it up and has this cool, relaxed and masculine style done in perfection—without looking as if he really did something. But to add edge or class into the look, he needs an accessory that will unite everything. The man accessory that comes to mind is the wristwatch. Here is an array of the most beautiful watches ever. Read on and take your pick!
