A Collector’s Delight — Arnold & Son Time Pyramid

With the curtains all set to draw in 2023, we take a walk down the gleaming corridors of Bollywood, unveiling the best watch sightings that have graced the screen and red carpets throughout the year. From iconic classics to avant-garde marvels, each timepiece encapsulates a moment, a story, and a touch of glamour that transcends mere timekeeping.

SRK In Patek Philippe Aquanaut Advanced Research Travel Time

When talking about iconic sightings, you cannot miss out on the legendary Shah Rukh Khan. And he certainly did not disappoint his fans when he was spotted in the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Advanced Research Travel Time in November.

Crafted as a result of intensive research, this reference 5650G Aquanaut combines the excellence of two groundbreaking horological innovations, the first watch to possess both these functionalities. The optimised Spiromax balance spring, meticulously crafted from Silinvar, with a patented terminal curve and inner boss, sets a new standard for precision in mechanical watches. The second innovation introduces a flexible mechanism made from conventional horological steel, facilitating the adjustment of the second time zone in time-zone watches.

The blue dial of the Ref. 5650 Aquanaut Travel Time, with its embossed Aquanaut pattern, serves as a visual spectacle. At nine o’clock, a generous aperture unveils the silvery steel flexible mechanism adorned with four crossed-leaf springs. The meticulous finishes and chamfered edges add an artistic dimension to the watch’s already striking aesthetics. Furthermore, equipped with the calibre 324 S C FUS, the timepiece not only displays local time but also features a second time zone, local date, and a day/night indicator for both time zones. The applied Arabic numerals in 18K white gold, luminescent coating, and the night-blue composite strap further contribute to the watch’s allure.

Sara Ali Khan In Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface

When Sara Ali Khan shared intimate moments from her Rakshabandhan celebration on Instagram, we quickly spotted a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface on her wrist.

The Reverso Classic Monoface, featuring a 40.1mm stainless steel rectangular case, became a harmonious companion for Sara’s multicoloured traditional ensemble. Its striking design is accentuated by a blue alligator leather strap, adding a touch of sophistication to the festive attire. The fixed steel bezel matches the silver dial and is adorned with blue dauphine hands and black Arabic numeral hour markers. The Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre JLC 657 quartz movement powering the watch ensures precision in timekeeping, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal adds durability to the exquisite piece.

Sunny Deol In Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

In a November episode of the talk show Koffee with Karan, the Bollywood powerhouse Sunny Deol made a style statement that echoed his larger-than-life persona. Seated alongside his brother Bobby Deol, who sported a Franck Muller King Conquistador, Sunny chose the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore.

The Offshore series, known as the extroverted sibling of the traditional Royal Oak, caters to those with a penchant for bold statements and larger wrists. Sunny’s choice, the Offshore self-winding chronograph, powered by calibre 3126/3840, maintains the conventional three-sub dial format, featuring 12-hour, sub-seconds, and 30-minute counters at six, 12, and nine o’clock markers, respectively. The three o’clock date display and the iconic Audemars Piguet insignia add to the watch’s distinguished identity.

Natasha Poonawala In Roger Dubuis Easy Diver Skeleton Flying Tourbillon

Amidst the bustling streets of Paris during the iconic Paris Fashion Week 2023, Natasha Poonawala, a beacon of style and sophistication, was spotted turning heads with her avant-garde fashion sense. However, it was not just her attire that caught the eye; her wrist showcased the limited-edition Roger Dubuis Easy Diver Skeleton Flying Tourbillon—a horological masterpiece that seamlessly blends haute couture with haute horlogerie.

The Roger Dubuis Easy Diver Skeleton Flying Tourbillon, limited to 280 pieces worldwide, boasts hours, minutes, small seconds, and a Flying Tourbillon with a one-minute rotation. It is driven by the manually-wound RD 02 SQ-3, promising a remarkable 60-hour power reserve. The exposed tourbillon cage positioned between 7 and 8 o’clock becomes a focal point, showcasing the watch’s technical prowess.

Sonam Kapoor In Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

As the curtain rose on the Dior Autumn-Winter Paris show, the fashion-forward Sonam Kapoor took centre stage, draped in a trench coat dress with a Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 sparkling on her wrist. The Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222, a true embodiment of 1970s style, graced Sonam’s wrist with a 37mm ‘Jumbo’ case in 18K yellow gold. The monobloc tonneau-shaped case, adorned with a grooved bezel, exuded a robust, functional, and sporty spirit while maintaining elegance with the finesse of its curvature.

The watch’s dial, resplendent in gold tones, featured 18k yellow gold hour markers and hands. The Maltese cross at five o’clock on the case and the partially open case back, which showed off the calibre 2455/2 automatic movement, elevated the watch to a symbol of horological artistry. The 18k yellow gold satin-finished bracelet is secured with a triple-blade folding clasp.
