Over the Rainbow: Colourful Watches for Summer

Until fairly recently, to paraphrase Henry Ford, you could have a watch in any colour you wanted, as long as it was black (or white, or if you were really adventurous, navy blue). Fortunately, those days are gone, and watchmakers of all kinds are splashing out with offerings in vibrant hues from pistachio and coral to multi-coloured bubbles and stripes. Here are a few of the standouts in an increasingly crowded — and colourful — field.
