Sneaker-Inspired Luxe Watches

Versace's Chain Reaction Watch References the Iconic Sneaker Design

— January 7, 2020 — Luxury
Luxury fashion house Versace introduces its Chain Reaction watch which is directly inspired by its iconic Chain Reaction sneaker model, referenced by its namesake. The timepiece highlights the sneaker's chunky structure and the classic sole unit that spotlights the chain-link element.

This feature can be seen on the watch's strap which is complete in a series of colorway options including black and blue, all-black, or red and black. The Chain Reaction Watch also features a plethora of branding accents including the Greca patterning on the stainless steel band, stripe patterning, and the signature Medusa logo that can be seen on the back of the design and on the 12 o'clock position at the face.
