There’s more to couple dressing than just coordinating clothes. Another way to hint at your commitment to each other or to celebrate your relationship? Wear couple watches. Ahead, we’ve rounded up five classic watches you and your partner can invest in, from Bvlgari to Tissot.
Cartier introduces new dial colours to the classic Bleu de Cartier watch collection. Among them is this watch made of 18k rose gold, with the bezel set with 47 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.68 carats, making the watch akin to a piece of jewellery.

For fans of Omega’s Constellation series, we recommend the new eye-catching models. The 36mm model is matched with three shades of red, blue and brown while the bezel is set with 38 diamonds. Meanwhile, the hands, logo, star and indexes are crafted in 18k white gold.

The Globemaster watch was released in 2015 and was the world’s first Master Chronometer. The “Pie Pan” dial inherits the first Constellation model created in 1952 and is split into different months of the year according to the annual calendar function. The burgundy leather strap and sunray dial match the previously mentioned model.

Those who like small watches can consider the Emerald series, which takes the shape of Harry Winston’s favourite diamond cut – the emerald-cut. The watch diameter is only 17.7 x 24 mm with new models featuring different coloured dials and double looping straps.

To pair with the previous model, we chose this equally captivating midnight blue 33mm model that’s also from the Emerald collection. The quartz-powered automatic watch is available with or without a diamond setting, but we reckon that diamonds are no longer just a ladies’ prerogative.

Bvlgari’s website has a nifty gift-giving widget that can help you find the perfect gift depending on the style and budget. But if you still can’t make up your mind, we recommend the double spiral Serpenti Tubogas watch. The watch combines the sinuous shapes of the snake with tubogas using a unique technology to create a flexible, tubular shape distinctive to Bvlgari.

The Octo series draws inspiration from the octagonal geometry of the Basilica of Maxentius in the Roman Forum built in the 4th century AD. Besides the eye-catching design, the watch boasts an advanced and avant-garde mechanical concept, making it a desirable watch for the modern man.
