Luxury of time

Breguet

An exquisite watch elevates your style by leaps and bounds. Especially, in case of formal attire, a sophisticated model on your wrist can do wonders.

Here’s a lowdown of some classic and state-of-the-art timepieces that one must own:

Breguet

Two iconic models from Breguet’s Classique collection — 7137 and 7337 now adorn a new look. They come in rose gold with a silvered gold dial and in white gold with a gold dial in Breguet blue colour. These 39mm models are powered by an extra-thin 502.3 calibre with an engine-turned gold rotor. Open-tipped Breguet hands and Roman numerals ensure easy readability. The blue alligator leather strap with white gold folding buckle fits perfectly on the wrist. An ideal combination of classic and contemporary, these creations are a must in a horology enthusiast’s collection. breguet.com

Panerai

Panerai

Panerai’s Luminor Blu Mare 44mm (PAM01085) is characterised by clean design and complex technology. It features a blue dial and is enhanced by satiné soleil decoration along with the hour and minute hands with a rhodium finish. The watch is completed by a calfskin strap in blue with beige stitching and secured with a pin buckle in brushed steel. panerai.com

Rolex

Rolex

From the Rolex collection, we recommend Oyster Perpetual Datejust 41. This suave watch piece incorporates the new Chronergy escapement patented by Rolex, combining high energy efficiency with great dependability. Another highlight is the crystal, with a Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock for easy reading of the date, is made of virtually scratchproof sapphire. The power reserve of calibre 3235 extends to 70 hours approximately. rolex.com

Omega

Omega

The latest addition to its well-known Speedmaster collection is the Speedmaster Alinghi. For this, Omega takes inspiration from sailing and creates impressive nautical-theme features. The timepiece is powered by the Omega calibre 1865 manual winding movement. The watch is ideal for those looking for a lighter and thinner design. omegawatches.com

Cartier

Cartier

This bracelet watch from Cartier’s [Sur]natural collection can be an interesting pick for a cocktail ensemble. The watch celebrates nature in its full glory with an effortless combination of aquamarine, tourmaline and coral elements. cartier.com

Watch talk

In his recent address to the Indian audience, Philippe Roten, chief executive officer, Favre-Leuba shared his views on the watch industry in times of pandemic.

He said, “Since the 1990s, the turnovers of the watch industry have been steadily increasing, even during the financial crisis when other markets suffered. I believe this had led the brands to become a little complacent. Now, while Covid-19 has impacted the industry’s turnover, it has the potential to become an important moment for brands to take the lead and bring back the focus on clients and quality.” favre-leuba.com
