A groom’s style is defined by details, and this piece argues that a remarkable wedding watch is as important as the sherwani or suit. It highlights how a refined timepiece signals taste, then curates luxe options: Cartier Tank’s quiet old-money charm, sleek Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute, world-tracking Frederique Constant Worldtimer, bold Bvlgari Octo Finissimo, and classic Rolex Datejust 41.
When it comes to looking sharp as a groom, the devil is in the details. It’s not just about wearing a sharp bandhgala, a beautiful sherwani or a nice suit; it’s about getting the details right. Little things like wearing exquisite shoes, perfectly placed pocket square, getting the length of the tie right, can upgrade your look more than you think. And a huge part of “getting the details right” is your watch.
If you are a groom-to-be who is focusing all his energies on finding the wedding outfit, you might want to introspect. Because we don’t know about you, but we judge a man’s taste by the watch that they’re wearing. So, if we made you have an epiphany that you need to invest in a new watch before the wedding, you’re so welcome! Read on to know our top picks.
There are a few watches as iconic as the Cartier Tank. It’s classic, elegant, and sophisticated. Also, nothing screams ‘old money’ like a Cartier Tank, in our humble opinion. An ostentatious, conspicuous watch is no match to the quiet charm of the Cartier Tank. We would suggest this one with a rose-gold frame and a brown leather strap.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is another great watch if you prefer something sleek. You can go for the classic, or the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute. Our pick is this Reverso Tribute Monoface, since it’ll add a touch of metallic to your outfit. We are particularly loving the textures on the strap and the dial.
Apart from being irresistibly stunning, this watch will let you see the time in 24 major world cities at the exact same time, all controlled by a single twist of the winding knob. You know, in case you want to know the time in Puerto Rico in the middle of your wedding festivities! This beautiful, intricate, diamond-studded watch is bound to impress your guests.
A skeleton watch looks super cool, masculine, and rugged. We are totally obsessed with the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Watch. Known for its ultra-thin design and iconic octagonal case inspired by Roman architecture, this watch is the epitome of beauty. While it might not be considered a dress watch, we would highly recommend wearing it as a groom.
However, if you like traditional watches you can pick the Rolex Datejust 41 Watch. Our forever favourite variant is this one with a mixed-metal bracelet and a gold dial.
