4 Best Watches to Wear With Indian and Western Wedding Outfits

Back-to-back festive parties and the onset of the wedding season leave little time to plan outfits and put together an amazing look when you're getting ready for so many events. There are a few things you should definitely add to your festive season wardrobe, pieces that will stand out as staples and can easily elevate any outfit. Accessories are a great way to add that finishing touch. Watches also hit the right spot, and if you pick wisely, they can easily take an outfit from basic to elevate. Here are a few options you can pick from.

Cartier Santos de Cartier

For a watch that's bound to turn heads and get people asking you about it, Cartier is a solid option. Very popular among people interested in watches, the Santos has a long history. It features a square case, exposed screws and a recognisable bracelet design. It's versatile and a good fit for festive dressing, as you can easily take it from day to night.

A steel model works particularly well with a sharply tailored suit or a monochromatic bandhgala.

Best paired with:

Structured bandhgalas, contemporary sherwanis, tailored suits and cocktail attire.

Price: 8,70,000 INR onwards

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time

If you're sticking to the classic black bandhgala or suit, a cool and effortless way to introduce colour is through a watch with a distinctive dial. The Seiko Presage Cocktail Time collection features models with textured dials and finishes that catch the light, giving them a little more personality than a conventional dress watch.

A blue-dial version, for instance, can add contrast to an ivory outfit, while a warmer dial works well with earthy colours.

Best paired with:

Pastel kurtas, festive Nehru jackets, cocktail suits and semi-formal wedding attire.

Price:45,000 INR onwards

Longines Master Collection

If you prefer a watch that feels classic without being overly minimal, the Longines Master Collection offers several options worth exploring. Known for its traditional watchmaking aesthetic, the collection includes models with elegant dials, polished cases and more detailed complications.

A silver or champagne dial can complement cream, beige and gold-toned Indian wedding attire, while a darker dial works well with Western eveningwear.

Best paired with:

Embroidered sherwanis, bandhgalas, three-piece suits and formal reception looks.

Price:2,60,000 INR onwards

Rado Centrix

For those who prefer a contemporary aesthetic, the Rado Centrix offers a polished alternative to traditional leather-strap dress watches. Depending on the model, its combination of metal and ceramic elements creates a sleek finish that works particularly well with modern wedding attire.

Indo-Western outfits, modern sherwanis, cocktail attire and tailored suits.
