Instead of looking to their wrists to find out the time, today many people instead pull out their cell phones which are synced with satellites and are more likely to be accurate. Watches, however, still have a very special place in the digital age. While they still tell us the time, watches now are more of a status piece than ever. They are a reflection of our personal style and wealth, and a great accessory to polish up almost any outfit. Finding the perfect watch can be quite a chore. Recently, we were introduced to Michele Watches, which offers watches in both men's and women's styles and are seen on the wrists of Hollywood starlets to business professionals and everyone else in between.

Michele Watches was founded by Jack Barouh, the son of a German watchmaker, Maurice Barouh, who passed on his passion for quality craftsmanship and an expression of style to his son. Michele Watches was launched with the birth of Jack's first child, Michele. At first they created children's watches and expanded from there.

Michele Watches have been seen on the wrists of celebrities including Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Hall Berry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Queen Latiffa, Oprah, the View's Lisa Ling, Calista Flockhart, and Edie Falco.

With only 73 days until Christmas, a fine Michele Watch would make the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Many of the watches allow you to choose a watch face and then select your choice of straps. If you're picking up a removable strap watch, you might even want to pick up some extra straps in other styles to match with even more outfits. Prices range from $325 to $2,000+, and you can buy the in fine Jewelry stores or online.
