\n Gold on gold, with the dial a shade warmer than the case. The AR1957 keeps everything in one colour\nfamily and relies on the mesh band’s texture to break up what would otherwise be a solid block of\nyellow. \n\n Case and Wrist Presence \n Round, 32 mm, gold-tone, with a thin polished bezel and a flat case. Wide gold keepers hold the\nmesh at the case instead of standard lugs, so the band flows straight out of the watch head with no\nbreak. A small gold crown sits at three. The whole assembly is thin enough to wear under a sleeve\nwithout noticing it. \n\n Dial and Legibility \n A warm champagne dial, close enough in tone to the case that the two read as a single surface at a\ndistance. Gold Roman numerals sit at nine, three and six, with fine gold batons at the other hours and\nthe eagle logo at twelve. There are two hands and nothing else. Gold hands on a champagne dial is\ndeliberately low contrast — the watch is meant to look like a bracelet with a face, and it does. \n\n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes. No date to correct, no seconds hand, and no winding. \n\n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Gold-tone stainless steel mesh, woven fine and finished flat. Mesh follows the wrist better than any\nlink bracelet and has no sharp edges to catch on a sleeve. The weave will hold skin oil and hand cream,\nso run a dry cloth along the length of it occasionally rather than just wiping the top face. \n\n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone building a stack. A flat gold mesh band sits happily next to bangles and other bracelets in a\nway a chunky link bracelet does not, and the tone-on-tone dial keeps it from competing with anything else\non the wrist. Best on a slimmer wrist at 32 mm. \n\n Care and Maintenance \n No water rating is printed on the dial, so keep the watch dry. Gold plating on mesh wears where the\nband folds at the clasp — open the clasp rather than forcing the band over your hand and it will last\nconsiderably longer. Perfume and hairspray dull plating quickly, so put the watch on last. \n\n About the Brand \n Emporio Armani’s gold mesh models are the most jewellery-like watches in the range.
