Oversized Watches Still Around Lots of Wrists

Saturday April 19, 2008
paris hiltonLike her or not, you have to admit that Paris Hilton knows how to accessorize. This shot was taken at last month's Miss Turkey beauty pageant, where Hilton was on the judge's panel. She's wearing a round-faced, oversize white watch that appears to be rimmed with pavé-set diamonds. I searched for the watch, curious about the brand and the price, but haven't found anything that matches it exactly (leave a comment if you know the maker). It's a shame Paris didn't slip on one of the watches from her own new collection -- they're attractive. The watches are distributed by Parlux, the same company that handles her fragrances, and the Floating Numbers styles in the line are similar to the watch she's wearing, but without the sparkle. You can get Paris's look for less with a chronograph watch from Michael Kors, who does away with the diamonds and replaces them with clear crystals (Buy Direct). And if you want to lose the glitz entirely, Michael Kors offers a similar sport watch that you might like better (Buy Direct).

This is old…but I figured I’d leave a comment anyway in case you were still wondering what Paris Hilton’s watch is. I found this page while googling oversized watches! Anyway, her watch is most likely a Chanel J12 38mm watch. They retail for about $4,000 and up, I think. Obviously, the more diamonds the more expensive it is. Her’s probably has diamond markers and the diamond bezel which can run about $10,000+.
