Jewelry designer launches site showcasing the first 18K solid-gold band for Apple Watch.
LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) August 13, 2015 -- Remember seeing photos of Beyoncé at Coachella flashing her gold Apple Watch face and its matching gold bracelet? Or legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld parading around London wearing his all-gold Watch?
Fact is, apart from those two titans, no one else has ever had a gold bracelet for their Apple Watch. Despite fame and fortune, many other celebrities like Pharrell and Katy Perry who were gifted with a gold “Apple Watch Edition” Watch ahead of its initial release couldn’t get a solid-gold bracelet to go with theirs, either. Even the most fashion-forward Apple aficionados can’t get a solid-gold band for their Apple Watch — because it didn’t exist.
Until now.
Announcing SolidGoldAppleWatchBands.com: a jewelry designer, goldsmith and luxury timepiece expert who banded together (pun intended) to manufacture an 18-karat Made-For-Apple-Watch solid-gold replacement band set to match Apple’s gold Watch case.
The 100% 18-K gold replacement bands seen on SolidGoldAppleWatchBands.com glide, slide and perfectly fit into position, enabling the user to quickly swap out and attach the bands to the Watch. Priced at $9,500, the replacement band set is a bargain, considering that the Apple Watch Edition (gold) costs between $12,000 - $17,000 — and that just buys you the Watch case with a leather or a rubberized sport band.
The retail value for Beyoncé’s and Lagerfeld’s custom-designed Watches and gold bands was never revealed, since the two were custom-made by Apple as promotional swag, for publicity but not for sale. However, jewelers speculate that, like Rolex, Cartier and Chopard, whose watches can come with a gold band bracelet, Apple’s would likely cost upwards of $70,000.
The 18K gold Watch band seen on SolidGoldAppleWatchBands.com is not gold-plated, nor an alloy, but 80 full grams of serious, solid gold. The band-set is custom, handmade to order by wrist size — and crafted in America, in the jewelry district of downtown Los Angeles, California, USA. Yes, solid means solid: weighty, luxurious, lustrous 18-karat gold. Even the connector-lugs and hidden back clasp are made of gold (white gold for strength) .
• GOLD, BABY, GOLD.
“I’ve always been in awe of the beauty of a real, solid-gold timepiece. And this, expressly-made to match and attach to Apple Watch, is especially beautiful,” said Jay N. Rosenberg, founder of SolidGoldAppleWatchBands.com. “Our design team fashioned this collection of beautiful solid-gold bands to look — and feel — solid, polished, upscale, strong and powerful…to perfectly complement, and complete, the Watch.”
Now the elite, exclusive owner of an Apple Watch Edition can match up their gold Watch case with a solid gold band, to really go for the gold.
