Can Men Wear Pink? Chopard Gran Turismo XL Racing In Pink Watch
I put this question before you now: Can a man wear a pink watch and retain his masculinity? I made fun of the first guy I saw wearing a “salmon” colored shirt. But, today, it isn’t that uncommon.

So I wonder, has the time come when a man can get away with wearing a pink watch?When I write about men’s watches in white people always fight about whether they would wear them. While one guy can easily pull off a white watch, it definitely isn’t for everyone. I expect that even fewer men would be wiling to try it with something pink. Here is what I think: If you take the right type of fairly masculine watch and make it pink, at least a few guys will be able to pull it off. Which brings me to this new-for-2011 limited edition piece from Chopard.

Sure, the Kosmopoliet GMT? has some vintage cues, but the overall effect is entirely unique. Batavi describes the Kosmopliet GMT as modern
