The world of luxury horology not only creates stunning, innovative, and cutting-edge watches, but also has a story to tell. Be it Ulysse Nardin or Hublot – every brand and model has a rich history behind it, and every watch says a lot about its wearer. For those on the hunt for their perfect wrist candy, the stars might just have the right match for you ticking away.
Whether you’re a rebellious Aquarius drawn to daring designs or a meticulous Virgo seeking precision engineering, every zodiac sign has its own signature match when it comes to timekeeping. Here’s a look at luxury watches through the lens of astrology, and how you can land the right timepiece with the help of heavenly bodies.
Aries: Omega Constellation
Bold yet sophisticated, the Omega Constellation is a timeless classic, and this version is perhaps one of its most striking. Fashioned from 18K yellow gold, this automatic piece is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8901. Boasting a polished black bezel that makes the watch even more eye-catching, this watch is made for Aries, the natural leaders of the zodiac. Known for their courage, energy, and vibrance, this classic timepiece with its dramatic contrast of black and gold will serve Aries well.
Taurus: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self-winding Chronograph
Grounded, practical, yet appreciative of the finer things in life, Taurus finds its match in Audemars Piguet’s revered Royal Oak Self-winding Chronograph. Known for producing only about 40,000 timepieces yearly, AP is exclusive yet precise, and this model with a khaki green ‘Grande Tapisserie’ dial is perfect for the Earth sign. The stainless steel bracelet provides the right amount of resilience to the watch, and even the otherwise patient Taurus would appreciate this Royal Oak’s flyback chronograph.
Gemini: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Duetto
The sign of the twins is known for its dual nature, and the Jaeger-leCoultre Reverso Classic Duetto echoes this duality through its two watch faces. Conceived in the ’30s, the Reverso in pink gold and diamonds, featuring one silver and one black dial, is a fun and feminine model that can be flipped around to suit Gemini’s mood. With two distinctively designed dials, the Reverso is only for the witty and open-minded, who can adapt to change quickly and beautifully.
Cancer: Tank Must de Cartier
Sentimental by nature, Cancers love a watch with a rich history. The Tank is a timeless Cartier icon that was created by Louis Cartier in 1917, and has continued to be a mainstay in the maison’s horological repertoire. Elegant and simple, with classic Roman numerals, the Tank stands the test of time and suits Cancer’s emotional, intuitive and loyal nature. The silver steel bracelet and beaded crown set with its cabochon-shaped spinel make it instantly recognisable too.
Leo: Piaget Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase High Jewellery Watch
No one loves making an entrance more than a Leo, and it is only fair that their arm candy speaks for them. The Piaget Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase has an 18K white gold case, set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds, and a dial dripping in baguette-cut sapphires, rubies, pink and diamonds, tsavorites and orange spessartites. Paying homage to the constellations, the seasons and the elements, this Piaget timepiece commands attention, but elegantly. Just as stunning in the back, the self-winding movement has a moon-shaped oscillating weight, and the Vermillion Bird model is fastened with a red leather strap—perfect for the fiery Leo.
Virgo: IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic
Analytical by nature and prone to perfectionism, Virgos don’t need frills in their timepiece. The IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic has an uncluttered white dial that displays the date, too, and a perfectly evenly rounded stainless steel case. Strapped to the wrist with a sturdy black alligator leather strap, few watches are as reliable and fuss-free as this one.
Libra: Chopard L’heure Du Diamant Round
It is no secret that Libras are connoisseurs of beauty, and the Chopard L’heure du Diamant Round is an expression of high jewellery and excellence in watchmaking. The 26mm dial is paved with 19 glittering diamonds in a rose gold case, but there is something even more stunning than the precious jewels. The case band of this timepiece is an intricate filigree that will appeal to the love for charm and aesthetic that is characteristic of Libra.
Scorpio: Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Blue Ceramic
Hublot is known for its unconventional take on timekeeping, with striking designs that can’t help but draw attention to the wrist. For the watery Scorpio, this deep blue Hublot Big Bang Unico made of titanium and ceramic is the perfect blend of boldness and innovation. Scorpio is passionate, intense and never one to hide in the shadows, and the Big Bang Unico echoes this sentiment with its ‘open heart’ movement that makes for one mesmerising dial.
Sagittarius: Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41
The iconic Breitling Navitimer gets a chic makeover in this model, which boasts a stainless steel case with unique 18K red gold bead detailing on the bezel, which also features Breitling’s circular slide rule. Powered by the Breitling Caliber 17, this is still the historic pilot’s watch, with some frills. As the cosmic archer, Sagittarius is defined by its penchant for adventure, thrills and independence. And this pilot’s watch is just what they need for their travels.
Capricorn: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5811/1G-001
Famous for meticulous attention to detail and the most exclusive watches in the world, Patek Philippe’s philosophy is similar to how Capricorn operates. Highly driven, ambitious and hardworking, this Earth sign would appreciate the self-winding 26-330 S C caliber movement encased within a white gold case and bracelet. With its distinctive dial shape and exclusivity, the Nautilus is the best, just like the cosmic goat wants to be.
Aquarius: Ulysse Nardin Freak
Rebellious, forward-thinking and fearless, Aquarius does not like the ordinary. For this sign, even timekeeping should be unconventional, which Ulysse Nardin achieved with its groundbreaking Freak series. This watch has no dial, no hands, and no crown and it uses its movement, and the entire watch to display the time. Ulysse Nardin broke all traditional horology rules with this one, just like Aquarius tends to do.
Pisces: Panerai Luminor Due Luna Goldtech™ Madreperla
Panerai has long had an association with the ocean and the navy, making it the just the right fit for water sign Pisces. This model of the Luminor Due Luna is fashioned from proprietary Panerai Goldtech, an alloy of gold, copper and platinum, and features a dreamy mother-of-pearl dial. With a moon phase and seconds counters, this timepiece captures the imaginative, intuitive and sweet Pisces very well.
