"No better way to decorate time than with something as timeless as nature, which is why I love Jaeger-LeCoultre’s La Vallée des Merveilles™ collection." — Riti Ghai, Senior Social Media Executive
"What draws me to a watch is its context, culture and codes. The Première by Chanel ticks all the boxes for me. As someone who loves a good stack, the Première slips right in layered with cuffs, bangles or even another watch." — Komal Shetty, Junior Fashion Editor
"I remember Catherine Deneuve wearing it in a picture and I haven’t forgotten it since. No watch is as understated and elegant as this one." —Abhya Adlakha, Digital Writer
"I remember seeing it in a magazine spread many moons ago and it’s captivated my senses ever since. Big, bold, beautiful—it’s exactly how I like my watches." —Saurav Bhanot, Digital Editor
"My idea of a dream watch is slightly oxymoronic: a striking, no-nonsense dial I can read easily, paired with an exhibition caseback for an equally goodlooking mechanical movement." —Aditi Tarafdar, Digital Writer
"It holds onto everything I love about the watches I grew up around— the simplicity and practicality. The 36 diamonds framing the bezel feel like a polite way of saying this is still an entirely practical decision." —Rudra Mulmule, Digital Writer
"With that sleek profile, Roman numerals and immense cultural clout (one of my literary heroes, Truman Capote, owned seven of them) I’d never take the thing off my entire life." —Prannay Pathak, Head of Copy Desk
"I’m not big on jewellery, but a fancy watch is my one flourish. If I had a Bvlgari Serpenti Tubogas, I’d wear it every day." — Sonal Nerurkar, Managing Editor
"Elegant over sporty for me always. And this gender-agnostic Omega, with its tonneau dial, has become increasingly hard to acquire." —Azad Mohan Panwar, Associate Art Director
"The watch from Interstellar that got everyone talking is the one I yearn for the most. The cathedral hands, the black leather strap and the hidden morse code message on the seconds hand... imagine all of that sitting on your wrist, quietly ticking away." —Nitin Sreedhar, Features Editor
"Classically minimal but also such a fun accessory to wear. It’s like meeting that stereotypical handsome grouch at a finance shindig, only to realise they’re great with children. It is hard to come by, but, hopefully, one day, I’ll finally be able to call it mine." —Mayukh Majumdar, Deputy Editor
"I've had my eye on it ever since Daniel Craig strapped it on in Casino Royale. That rich blue dial is effortlessly casual for daily wear, yet sharp enough to pair as dressup watch when needed." —Varun Shah, Bookings Editor
"I love that it’s a watch built around movement, cities, different time zones, world travel and the idea of constantly being in motion. The kind of companion that stays with you through life, jobs, airports, countries, conversations and cultures." —Rahul Gangwani, Editor
