For decades, watchmakers have embraced blue, and for some brands, it has become a defining feature. Talking about the colour blue has a calming effect while given the fascination that women have always been fans of watches, but it appears that we are only now beginning to speak out about it. Indeed, watch collectors have an immense amount of freedom in terms of choosing from a whole spectrum of hues when it comes to the dial colourways. However, one thing is for sure - one dial colour that will always stand out from the crowd is fashionable blue. In this segment, we will be taking a closer look at some of the recent blue-dial watches offered in the industry and examining why you should be donning these blue-dial watches. Read on to see if your favourite blue dial watch made the cut!

1. PIAGET, LIMELIGHT AURA HIGH JEWELLERY WATCH

Piaget's ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement drives this modern classic, while Maison's mastery of jewellery and gem setting is on full display in the Aura. In this case, a diamond-set sunburst dial is encircled by a dégradé composition of precisely calibrated sapphires in tones ranging from icy light to midnight blue. A one-of-a-kind piece that took over 260 hours to create.

The Aura name captures the illuminating design, as the watch is set with individually calibrated baguette-cut diamonds. Piaget has brought back the Aura, but this time the brand uses diamonds and sapphires. It took the designers over eight months to find and select the perfect blue sapphires to use in the watch's design, and the resulting baguette-cut stones which are a perfect fit for the watch's integrated case and bracelet.
