The Fashion Statement: Something By Chanel
When our love for watches is matched only by our love for beautiful clothes, bags and shoes, it makes sense that we would want a timepiece that goes perfectly with everything else we’re wearing. The great news is, fashion brands are doing a bang-up job creating watches these days, so it’s not as though you’re compromising on haute horlogerie when you’re opting for haute couture. The eternal allure of a Chanel J12 is hard to resist. But more importantly, the French maison’s expertise in working with high-tech ceramic is nothing short of game-changing. Bringing that certain je ne sais quoi into fine watchmaking, the J12 relishes at being playful yet also serious.
The Daily Companion: A Classic Rolex Datejust
Another must-have is a trusty everyday watch that’s versatile and reliable, and dressy without being overly fussy. It’s the horological equivalent of going smart casual and you’d do well to prioritise quality and mileage over bells and whistles. In this regard, the Rolex Datejust is simply beyond reproach. Described as the epitome of the classic Rolex, the Datejust doesn’t look a hair out of place anywhere or on any occasion, making it perfectly poised for everyday wear. The perfect combination? A 36mm case, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet and diamond indexes.
