We begin our Valentine’s Day coverage with a selection of timepiece novelties created by leading brands, just in time for the celebration (and not long after their recent presentations for the Year of the Snake).
Breguet has released a festive edition of the Reine de Naples model, featuring a white gold and diamond case with a mother-of-pearl dial. The perimeter of the dial is adorned with a diamond “ribbon,” which transitions into a heart-shaped curve, replaced by pink sapphires and rubies for a romantic touch.
The case of Harry Winston’s Premier Valentine’s Day watch is crafted from rose gold. The majority of hour markers on the mother-of-pearl dial are represented by colorless diamond hearts, while a striking ruby heart at the 12 o’clock position is adorned with rose gold thorn details. The center of the dial is further enhanced by a scattered array of rubies, adding to its passionate aesthetic.
This year, Blancpain introduced a thematic novelty—the Ladybird Colors Saint-Valentin. This white gold timepiece features a mother-of-pearl dial, a moon phase indicator with heart motifs, and a seconds hand designed to pierce a crimson heart like Cupid’s arrow.
Unlike other brands that incorporated bold red hues into their designs, Chopard opted for a more delicate approach. The Happy Hearts model boasts a rose gold case, while the white mother-of-pearl dial showcases two freely moving heart-shaped charms—one made of mother-of-pearl, the other set with diamonds—alongside three floating round diamonds, adding a touch of enchantment.
These exquisite creations capture the essence of love and elegance, making them perfect companions for Valentine’s Day.
