Romantic Valentine’s Watches

The Rolex “President” Day-Date is a true watchmaking icon, and what better way to express your love by choosing the ultimate watch? Considered the flagship model of Rolex, the Day-Date has made a name for itself as the choice timepiece of leaders, diplomats, and royalty. Exclusively crafted from only 18-karat gold or solid 950 platinum, it’s the height of refinement and luxury. A gift that is sure to please.

What could be more classic than a watch that has more than 85 years of history? The Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso was created as a watch for polo players (also making it the first sports watch ever), but quickly gained appeal outside the polo field because of its timeless Art Deco design and its ingenious geometrical case that swivels from back to front. It has evolved over the years, but has managed to keep its pure, discreet lines and unisex appeal that will continue to transcend trends decade after decade.

Diamonds may be known as a woman’s best friend, but men can certainly enjoy them as well. Added subtly, gems and jewels add richness and exclusivity to a timepiece. If your loved one is fond of jewelry, a diamond studded watch makes a great choice because it combines the best of both worlds – the robustness and practicality of a timepiece, and the delicate craftsmanship of jewelry.

If you or your loved one consider yourselves traditional and conservative, a Cartier watch is your best bet. Cartier has a long history of tradition, and has become the watch of choice for many First Ladies and members of the royalty. The Cartier Tank, in particular, has become the landmark watch design of the 21^st century with its clean, crisp lines. Cartier watches are often worn for many years, showing that you’re in it for the long haul.

Watches are certainly a special gift, but it becomes even more special when there is a story behind it. A vintage watch, a piece that’s 30 years old or more, would certainly carry nostalgia with it; and the effort of finding one among brand new watches gives the gift more meaning. You can choose a watch from an era significant to you and your loved one: whether it’s his or her birthdate or the day you met, a watch from way back will certainly carry sentimental value.

If you’d like to be both a little more extravagant and bold for Valentine’s this year, why not choose a watch in the color most associated with the occasion? Apart from being the dominant color for Valentine’s Day, red also symbolizes passion, love, and desire. With a red timepiece in a classic style, you don’t have to say much to show how you feel.
