My Halley ‘Da Vinci’ Watch Review

March 21, 2016

*Thank you Josh – Founder of Halley Watches for gifting me this beautiful timepiece. All opinions are my own.*

If you love simplicity and minimality, you will fall in love with Halley Watches. The watches are unique and beautiful. Each has one single hand with the minute hand omitted, the design will surely give you the most unique ultra-minimalistic look.

Each watch is numbered and limited, and comes inside a beautiful leather box with a Certificate of Authenticity. This watch I received is in style “Da Vinci” which features a brown genuine leather strap with a gold trimmed dial. I love gold, and in my humble opinion gold goes perfect with brown. Having a warm skin tone, I know for a fact gold and brown will always look amazing on me. And they do. I love this watch on me. It exudes such a classic beauty that it looks like it could have cost me thousands of dollars, but I’m glad it didn’t!

Because of the clean simple look, it is totally okay to wear it alone or stack it with other bracelets or jewelries. It is also designed to look spectacular no matter the dress code, on men or women. It looks amazing with my slouchy sweater at home cuddling with my dog, as well as with a fancy black jumpsuit and other shiny jewelries.

Yes, I know the question we all ask: how the heck do I tell time if there’s only one single hour hand? Because the purpose of this watch is so you don’t. No, you won’t be able to tell time to the exact minute, so please don’t wear it if you need to go to an important work meeting, you have a phone for that don’t you? The watch was designed to have a different meaning. It is meant to remind its owner to slow down, enjoy the present time, stop living life to the very minute. “After all, life is a journey to be enjoyed- not rushed”, said Josh – Halley Watches founder. Plus, after wearing it for a week now, I can surprisingly approximate time within 15 min window from the position of the hour hand and seriously, that’s all the info I need.

And lastly, for a limited time, With Love Lily Rose readers can get any beautiful piece from Halley Watches for $30 off using code “lily”. 

So my friends, what do you think of this piece? Are you ready to stop living your life down to each minute?

    I have been looking for a piece like this since forever! I know there are so many who promotes Daniel Wellington watches but it seems like everyone has them and I want something more unique. Will check Halley Watch out, thanks for the recommendation and I just checked and they offer international shipping too!

    Lily, you are such a STUNNER, seriously, you are so gorgeous! I love the watch and the way you’ve styled it in both looks. The first is perfect for the weekend, so cozy and relaxing; I love the angles of each shot! The second really demonstrates how it can be dressed up and layered for a more glam approach, so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great start to your week so far!

    I love this blog post! You really explain into detail how we shouldn’t obsess over every passing minute and to live in the “now” – I really admire that 🙂 That watch is really a classic and timeless piece that looks gorgeous on you whether you are with your dog or dressed to impress, hehe!

    I’ve been really getting into watches lately (I just got one from Anne Klein that I love love love), but I haven’t heard of this brand. I love the philosophy behind not having a minute hand – it’s so unique! Plus the watch itself is so classic. My watch is slightly more feminine and I love it, but I’m also looking for a few different styles to add, so I’ll definitely have to give Halley Watch a look – thanks for the discount code!

    Also, on a side note, your shoes are so gorgeous!

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
