Star style with McFly & Sekonda


Last week myself and Ellie were lucky enough to be part of the audience for The McFly Show, which some of you may have seen on Saturday night before The XFactor on ITV.

Safe to say we were rather excited about this, as both had been avid McFly fans in our early teen years and were looking forward to reliving some of their old tunes as well as hearing some new material.

The set looked great, and was designed to look like their apartment. We had a great view of the stage and were seated right in front of where the boys would be singing. Perfect!

The McFly boys finally came out on stage and were absolutely lovely, very down to earth and excited to be filming their very own show! The humour was also great and with guests such as Michelle Keegan, Al Murray, Chelsee Healey and Olympic gold medallist champion, boxer, Luke Campbell, the show was a great success, filled with jokes and of course those catchy McFly songs. 

The show on ITV was sponsored by Sekonda and as we were their guests, it seemed only right to pair the McFly boys up with what we think would be their favourite watch. Obviously after we had finished swooning over them and each deciding who we would like to marry. Ahem. 

So, as the show went on each of the boys’ individual characters came out, with each one speaking about their solo ventures whilst the band was on a break. Dougie was famously crowned King of the Jungle in the 2011 series  of ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of here’, whilst Harry went on to win Strictly Come Dancing last year. Tom kept a lower profile keeping his focus on writing new material for the guys, not forgetting that stint on The Only Way is Essex of course! Danny’s solo ventures remained a joke of the show as each guest failed to remember him on Popstar to Operastar, which prompted him to demonstrate his new found operatic skills.

With each of their personalities portrayed, from their humour, quirky VT’s to their fashion sense, choosing the watches we’d like to see the boys in came easier than we first thought. We split the boys 50/50 and whilst I took Danny and Tom, Ellie pieced together her ideas of Sekonda fashion, McFly style.

Danny, who is one of the lead singers of the band is definitely a cheeky chappy with an indie edge. This bold  Men's Chronograph watch is every bit on trend with added detailing of black and red on the bracelet and on the dial. This watch could easily be transferred from day to night and would not look out of place with both a suit and a casual outfit.   




With Tom, geek-chic was definitely the trend that sprung to mind when pairing him up with this watch. With bold black framed glasses, a vintage inspired haircut and not to forget that incredibly cute ukulele, we thought a classic watch would suit his laid back retro style. This stainless steel and yellow gold-plated round dial Sekonda watch oozes vintage elegance, as well as keeping up with contemporary demands of the fashionable two-tone trend. 



Personally, I’m also a big fan of the two tone trend and you’ll often find me obsessing over which jewellery to wear whether it be silver or gold to accessorise my outfits, therefore the Sekonda Twilight Pearl is perfect for me. This watch looks every bit the fashion star which the sleek shaping and of course that added bit of bling. This stylish watch ensures my inner fashionista is kept happy whilst also leaving my bank balance in peace!



With Danny, Tom and Myself mentally kitted out with a dream Sekonda watch wish list, it was now the turn of our fab online copywriter Ellie to adorn us with some sleek and stylish picks of her own… 

Drummer Harry’s cool and fresh look undoubtedly suits a sleek stainless steel bracelet watch, such as this chic Sekonda timepiece, finished with a mix of polished and brushed metal. Featuring a white dial with bold black multi dials and chronograph function, this watch affords a simple, contemporary edge, with just a dash of the bold style we saw in Harry’s flamboyant dancing attire!




Meanwhile, mischievous bassist Dougie Poynter is renowned for rocking an Indie edge, which goes perfectly with this black dial chronograph watch. Set with a brown leather croc effect strap with stitch detail, this watch offers the perfect touch of granddad chic to match Dougie’s endearing (and a little cheeky!) coyness.




Having picked out all these handsome watches for the guys, we couldn’t resist having a peak at the ladies’ Sekonda watches and picking out our own favourites. As a self-confessed magpie and fan of rose gold’s warm and unique edge, this gorgeous bracelet watch from Sekonda’s Seksy range was a no-brainer for me. Made with sparkling Swarovski elements and finished with an elegant mother of pearl dial (with a little more crystal glitter!) this is a glamorous watch which combines timepiece with jewellery fashion piece. 




All of these watches are available to buy online and in store at H.Samuel.
