The Summer Dial Edit: Seven Luxury Watches Worth Wearing This Season
For decades, colour in watchmaking was governed by rules. Pastels for women, bold bezels for men and everything else in black, white or silver. But the conversations building ahead of Watches & Wonders Geneva 2026 suggest those rules are finally being retired. With enamel dials, vivid lacquered hues, and dials that shift character in different light, colour is the whole point in 2026, especially when it comes to summer watches.

Time To Impress: Black-Tie Watches That Earn Their Place At The Table.
Black-tie dress code follows a clear set of conventions that have changed very little over time. The tuxedo, shirt, studs, and shoes follow established codes that have remained consistent for decades. Formal watches, when worn, are expected to follow those same principles and complement the outfit rather than draw attention away from it.

Luxury Watch Brand Logos: The Symbols That Define Watchmaking Houses
In the earliest years of horology, a watchmaker’s signature was a discreet mark, such as initials engraved inside a case or a name etched on a bridge.

Watches Fit For A King: Decoding Shah Rukh Khan’s Watch Collection
A king always approaches the art of making a statement with intent. And when you’re the King of Bollywood, you understand that true presence is measured, quite literally, in time. In Shah Rukh Khan’s world, timepieces are chosen with the same deliberation as roles. His sartorial sensibility carries an instinctive conviction, favouring flair over flash, and impact over noise. Shah Rukh Khan’s watch collection follows that instinct. It brings together pieces that mirror different facets of his identity: a Cartier defined by clean, architectural lines, a Richard Mille built for motion and engineering brilliance, and a Patek Philippe that lets pure understatement make the statement. Look closer, and the details speak for themselves. From skeletonised dials that reveal the rhythm of engineering to gem-set bezels that catch light like stagecraft, the result is absolute finesse. Sculpted with purpose rather than assembled by convention, the tourbillons speak to the meticulousness that underpins Shah Rukh Khan’s watch collection.
