Diwali is one of the grandest and most auspicious festivals celebrated in India. That is why the innate importance of gold as a symbol of wealth, abundance, and prosperity makes it synonymous with the festival itself. From the warm light of the diyas to the stunning jewellery you deck yourself in, it becomes abundantly clear that the very essence of luxury is woven into every facet of Diwali. But, alongside all traditional things considered gold, there is another emerging tradition among watch connoisseurs to indulge in the festivities in their own special way. And that is with gold watches.

In the world of horology, few things match the fusion of elegance and functionality that a gold timepiece offers. Gold watches, treasured for their enduring beauty and value, are directly linked to this tradition of investing in gold during Diwali. So, whether you seek to enhance your ensemble or gift a loved one with enduring beauty, these extraordinary watches promise to illuminate your Diwali and beyond with their undeniable radiance.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris (reference Q9022450), cast in exquisite 18-karat rose gold, is a Diwali investment that exudes timeless elegance. With its 42mm case, this watch makes a grand yet tasteful statement on the wrist. Its brushed and polished surfaces strike a harmonious balance, seamlessly fitting into formal and casual festive ensembles.

As the muted grey tone contrasts against the brilliant gold of the case, the triple finishing on the dial also counterpoints the smooth finishing of the case, with a sunray finishing in the centre, a fine-grained finishing in the background of the hour markets, and an opaline finishing on the flange. The gold accents add a touch of luxury that brings the entire piece together, making it a worthy investment for your Diwali wardrobe.

IWC Portugieser

As the radiant festival of Diwali approaches, it’s the perfect time to indulge in the finer things in life. And one such piece of exquisite luxury is the IWC Portugieser. Crafted from 18-carat rose gold, this timepiece is a masterclass in watchmaking artistry.

The sunburst pattern adds a dazzling depth to the rich rose gold hue, while the gold-plated hands and indices glisten with timeless beauty. The four sub-dials collectively deliver a perpetual calendar functionality, with the moon phases at 12 o’clock, the date at three, the month at six, and the day along with the small seconds at nine o’clock. This watch allows you to count down to the auspicious day of Diwali easily.

As you gaze at the starry background of the moon phase indicator, you cannot help but reminisce about the brilliance of the sky lit up in colourful fireworks on the night of Diwali. It’s a seamless integration of form and function, ensuring you carry a piece of art on your wrist as you indulge in the festivities.

Hublot Big Bang 44 Chronograph Rose Gold

The Hublot Big Bang Chronograph (reference 301.PX.130.RX) epitomises opulence and modernity, making it an alluring Diwali investment. Encased in radiant rose gold, its 44mm case size commands attention with a bold and stylish presence on the wrist, embodying a contemporary allure.

But, while the stately rose gold case looks luxurious on the wrist, what adds to the look is the elegant layout of the sub-dials positioned neatly. Outlined in the same rose gold along with the partially skeletonised hour and minute hands and the hour markers, the elegant case results from meticulous attention to detail. The stunning rosy hue of the gold pops even more because of the sleek dark grey tone of the dial. Adding another flair of sophistication is the skeletonised caseback that gives a peek into the intricate mechanism.

Stripped of all distracting complications, this H. Moser & Cie Endeavour is unique in its simplicity and display of the stunning rose gold case. But what indeed makes it work is the stunning dial.

The Endeavour’s dial is a canvas of understated elegance. Its sunburst pattern radiates with the warmth of the red gold case, a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary design. The gold leaf-shaped hands and minimalist indices give this watch a discreet yet unmistakable touch of luxury. The combination of the stunning gold and the understated cool-toned funky blue fumé dial unexpectedly works. It is a dial that whispers elegance with each tick of the hands. Adding to this look of minimalistic opulence is the leather bracelet that seamlessly integrates with the case. Ideal for the festive season of Diwali, this watch is the epitome of opulence, the perfect gift for a loved one or a treasure to cherish for oneself.

The gold dial further enhances its allure, offering a rich, warm backdrop that shimmers with sophistication. Its design is a testament to Breguet’s unparalleled craftsmanship, making it a striking addition to any ensemble.

Tradition 7027 is not just a beautiful timepiece; it also excels in performance and functionality. One of its most notable characteristics is the open-worked dial, which showcases the intricate, hand-finished movement and its exposed gears and bridges. Combined with the openwork caseback, this design not only offers a mesmerising visual display but also provides a glimpse into the watch’s inner workings. Each element in the watch works together to create a resplendent piece that is just as good on the wrist as it is in your display as a proud investment for the festive season.
