Mancessorizing

Men are fine-tuning their look with a concentration on extra accents

2. Eco-friendly - Incorporating environmentally-conscious design, such as the first solar-powered wrist watch, is a new market trend for luxury watch brands.
3. Geek Culture - Sci-fi inspired mancessories, like Star Wars cufflinks, have become a rising fashion subculture.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Men's fashion accessories are becoming more diversified with a focus on intricate details that allow expression of one's personality.
2. Technology - Wearable technology like the iWatch concept design and Happy Hour Watch are integrating fashionable and practical features.
3. Jewelry - Jewelry industries, such as commemorative World Cup rings and skull rings for Father's Day, are offering more daring and unconventional designs.
