His And Hers

Forget couple watches. Commemorate your relationship with just one you can both wear.

- by Stuart Danker

Celebrating the month of love? Consider a timepiece as a gift. It is a symbol of endurance after all, as good watches last through the ages, and true love is meant to be forever. However, it is time to do away with the usual suspects that are couple watches. There is his and hers, and there is his and hers. Instead of springing for two pieces, you can instead opt for one quintessential timepiece that fits you both. The options are vast, but here are a select few to get you started.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE MASTER HYBRIS MECHANICA CALIBRE 362

This might be a harder piece to pull off for smaller wrists, but the romanticism is strong with the Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 362. For starters, the watch’s diameter is offset by its thinness of 7.8mm, allowing it to slip easily under a sleeve or to sit pretty against an evening gown. The dial itself is classic enough to be worn on any occasion, allowing the main complication — the flying tourbillon — to take centre stage. To further admire the intricacies of this watch, all you need to do is turn it around and view the Automatic Calibre 362 movement through the sapphire display case back. The colour blue, both on the dial and alligator straps, is easy to pull off, while the white gold case ensures that it plays well with the rest of your wardrobe. Yet, the feature that best jives with the spirit of romance would be the minute repeater. This is where the aforementioned white gold and sapphire glass come into play, providing acoustic qualities that make for the most distinguished chimes. It is one of the most elegant complications a watch can have, perfect to showcase your love.
