The best of luxury watches for him and her

Horological Opulence

A wise man called Lord Chesterfield A once said "We are hardly ever grateful for a fine clock or watch when it goes right, and we pay attention to it only when it falters, for then we are caught by surprise. It ought to be the other way about". The world of luxury horology keeps adapting and reinventing itself through the years to keep up with evolving notions of desirable design, convenience, and accessibility. A timepiece is not merely an accessory that sits on one's wrist, it is a representation of stature, aesthetics, and a desire for impeccable presentation. In this feature, Business Traveller India curates some of the most opulent luxury watches for him and her.

TRADITION QUANTIÈME RÉTROGRADE 7597

Shaped in the typical Breguet style, the 18-carat gold watch with retrograde date and self-winding anthracite movement is an extremely desirable timepiece. Water-resistant up to 30 metres, the classic watch is available in rose gold with a silvered dial or in white gold with a silvered or blue dial. The range of Tradition watches were originally launched in 2005 and are an homage to A.L Breguet's subscription pocket watches. The current iteration of the Tradition timepieces uses the architecture of the subscription watches as the basis for their design with minor alterations to create a modern design. The Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597 features a large, singular central hour hand and no minute hand, incorporated temperature compensation, and Breguet's signature pare-chute anti-shock system.
