There are classic, minimalistic watches, and then there are the kinds of watches that actually wanted to be jewellery! Those where the entire case disappears beneath diamonds, or where the dial is covered in gemstones like amethysts and rubies. For these watches, their main function is to serve as a jewellery piece, whereas telling the time is secondary. These timepieces that double up as jewellery are having a major moment right now. If you too, would like to embrace bejewelled watches this wedding season, read on to know are top picks.
While Cartier has a plethora of jewellery watches to choose from, our pick is this Cartier Libre Baignoire Allongée Watch bejewelled with diamonds, yellow sapphires, and black spinels. It’s bold, versatile, and irresistibly stunning. Not to forget, watches with elongated dials are big right now!
The Bvlgari Allegra Watch is their most stunning bejewelled watch (after the Serpenti Secret Watches, of course!). It’s beautiful, colourful, and very flashy (in a good way!) It brings together diamonds, citrine, amethysts, blue topazes, peridots, and rhodolite. Consider us obsessed!
There are a few watches as elegant as the Breguet Reine de Naples. While pretty much every variation of this watch is absolutely stunning, our latest obsession is the Queen of Naples Imperial Pearls Watch. It’s studded with an opal, diamonds, and pearls. It has an iridescent dial made of an opal, which is surrounded by diamonds around it, while an Akoya pearl (considered to be one of the most precious pearls) sits at the bottom of the dial.
This beautiful watch from Graff is the epitome of femininity: sleek design, diamond galore, the little pink bow in the corner!
Having said that, a bejewelled watch doesn’t have to be super sleek and feminine, just because it’s covered in diamonds—it can also be chunky, mechanical, and architectural. Case in point: this beautiful skeleton watch from Jacob & Co., which looks strong and masculine, but is also raining with diamonds!
