Versus by Versace
Versace is a universally recognized brand, lauded for the daring creativity of its founder Gianni Versace, who was a pivotal figure in establishing fashion’s permanent place as part of pop culture. Versus represents the youthful, vibrant soul of Versace, dynamic and overflowing with rebellious spirit as guided by the brand’s irrevocable champion, Donatella Versace.
Donatella revivified Versus in 2009 when she selected Scottish designer Christopher Kane to create a capsule collection for the brand. Kane, she felt, was most “in tune” with the spirit of Versus.
In 2013 Donatella chose to collaborate with designer JW Anderson for the next Versus capsule collection. Anderson was granted freedom to play with established Versace themes to create new interpretations. The same year, Versus collaborated with rap artist M.I.A. Her capsule collection was inspired by fashion bootleggers.
The next eagerly anticipated Versus capsule collection will launch in 2014, this time led by Italian-Belgian designer Anthony Vaccarello – another sensational designer driven by his own artistic force.
“Versus was born with an innate creative approach, with a strong focus on innovation, flair and the unconventional. An artistic force that takes present fashion forward, anticipating new trends and embracing challenge.” – Gianni Versace |
Versus Watch Collections
Versus watch collections are marked by flair and a taste for the unconventional. These distinctive timepieces are infused with the same passion that defines everything about Versace – they celebrate individuality and self-expression – they radiate modern-chic sensibilities and femininity.
Versus Watches feature reliable Japanese quartz movements housed within stainless steel cases. Many of the cases are coated with IP, in colors that include yellow gold, rose gold and black. Several of the lines derive their names from famous places, including locations in Miami, Florida, home of the fabled Versace mansion, Casa Casuarina.
Versus Miami
Free your inner lioness with a watch from the Miami collection, women’s watches with 40 mm cases and embossed lion-head prints on the dial. Miami watches feature stylized leather straps with studs and Versus safety pins – safety pins are a Donatella Versace signature motif dating back to 1994 and the famous dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley, and more recently by Lady Gaga.
Versus Coconut Grove
These swanky 38 mm women’s Coconut Grove watches are vibrant and charming, with polished cases, hobnail pyramid patterns on the bezels and diamond patterns on the dials. The adjustable bracelets also feature hobnail links.
Versus Tokyo
The Tokyo line is a mainstay of Versus Watches. They come in several unisex sizes and styles including 38 mm, 42 mm and 44 mm, in funky colors or more unruffled design schemes. Many of the bezels feature enamel inserts. Watches are paired with canvas straps, polyurethane straps or bracelets.
Versus Tokyo Animalier
These, by far the wildest models in the Tokyo collection, retain the balance of the classic Tokyo look but add zebra, camo and leopard patterns to the mix. The equally untamed straps are made of acetate and feature deployment buckles.
Versus Key Biscane
Playful to the core, watches in the women’s 38 mm Key Biscane collection have simple, bright and colorful dials paired with a casual and clever “zipper” straps. Each leather strap has a zipper stitched through the center that is finished with a safety pin charm on the bottom end of the case. The safety pin represents the rebellious spirit of Versus.
Versus Coral Gables
Dazzlers in sunlight or by moonlight, Coral Gables women’s models are 36 mm in diameter and feature a profusion of hobnail pyramid patterns. The patterns appear as circular engravings on the dials; as hour markers; as bezel embellishments, and; as studded links on the remarkable bracelets.
Versus Less
Branded and proud, and definitely not lacking in sizzle, the unisex Less collection has variations with either solid- or zebra-patterned dials and large label “décor” banners through the lower halves of the dials. The designs feature 42 mm aluminum cases and matching canvas straps.

Versus Logo
With more traditional sport styling, Logo watches feature geometric patterns on the dials, crystal hour markers and enamel Versus logo bezels, quaintly wrapped up in a 34 mm case. Logo watches are available in several color combinations and feature versions on bracelets with deployment buckles, or on leather straps.
Versus Manhattan
Time your own “New York minute” – or 30 minutes for that matter – with the Versus Manhattan. These men’s watches feature date functions and chronographs with 30-minute totalizers. Keeping with the urban-sport theme, the substantial 44 mm cases are mounted on polyurethane straps in a variety of colors.
Versus Sertie
Solid colors and wild patterns set the mood for the women’s Sertie line that ranges from sleek to salacious. The round cases are 38 mm in diameter and mounted on leather straps or bracelets; the latter feature enamel inserts and deployment buckles. The enamel inserts in the bezels are also a highlight.
