Experiencing Rodeo Drive With Westime

The minute it touched my wrist, I fell in love. The round case and elongated lugs are slender and fit my wrist gracefully. The slightly curved dial is set with diamonds taking the shape of the sun, but the most mesmerizing part is the movement mounted in a column at the center of the dial. At 7 o’clock, a white lacquered dial tells you the time in a discreet fashion, like it’s a little secret for the wearer. At the end of the day, on such a luxurious street, this might be the most dazzling watch for the job!
 

Staying on the topic of art inspired watches, we found the Hublot Unico Sang Bleu in blue ceramic that is limited to 200 pieces. It follows the footsteps of the first editions with its mismatched hexagonal bezel, but this time in color case fit for royalty. This 45mm piece hosts an automatic Hublot manufacture movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
 

This Hublot Sang bleu is a watch for the lovers of art and the tattoo artist Maxime Plescia-Büchi. It is remarkably different and will, for sure, start a conversation and attract the curiosity of the people around you. This is what you want, a watch with so many stories to tell and is a real work of art. Maybe the perfect watch for your casual Friday while in Beverly Hills.
 

Looking at something a bit more traditional, Westime Rodeo Drive had in stock the recently launched Zenith El Primero A384. It is probably the most historically accurate re-edition of this timepiece. The case has that art deco look that collectors are crazy about. This retro-futuristic watch is ideal for those who want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic El Primero.
 

Easily wearable under a cuff, it is also a great companion when photographing Rodeo Drive. It’s almost as if it is essential to experiencing this iconic cobblestone street. And maybe get some looks from the curious tourists.
 

Diamonds are a girl's best friends; this is known. Chopard has understood this since 1976 with the Happy Diamonds line. It was a revolution in the watch industry and is still the brand’s best-seller to this day. It is a playful and glamourous way to tell the time.
 

This precise model is Happy Sports in steel and is a boutique favorite. The 36mm steel case and bezel set with diamonds sparks femininity and has a sporty look to it. Paired with its steel bracelet, it smoothly accompanies ladies on the move. The signature floating diamonds on the dial will make you forget to even look at the time while you playfully move your wrist around to make them sparkle.
 

The Navitimer collection might be the first thing that comes to mind when we hear the name Breitling. Since 1952, the Navitimer has been the go-to watch for aviators and pilots around the world. It has become a symbol of reliability and performance with its Manufactured calibre Breitling 01 chronograph movement.
 

The steel Navitimer 43mm we experienced at Westime has a blue sunray dial with a matching blue date wheel. The iconic inner-rotating bezel contrasts a white background against black and red numerals. The black chronograph counters give enough visibility not to get lost on the dial. It's a beautiful re-edition of this historical companion of the skies.
