It is that time of year again when cupid’s arrow is poised for attack. If you are in doubt what to get your sweetheart, don’t worry the watch industry has you covered.
Omega SeaMaster Aqua Terra Shades
Let’s start with this 38 mm Omega SeaMaster Aqua Terra Shades edition with its terracotta dial that is created from brass before being lacquered and sub-brushed from the centre. The dial is adorned with rhodium-plated hands and indexes, which have been filled with white Super-LumiNova for optimal reading in low light, and a date at six o’clock. This model comes on an integrated three-link stainless steel bracelet and is powered by Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 which is anti-magnetic and has a power reserve of 55 hours. For those who are looking for something other than the traditional Valentine’s red and pink, this model also comes in a host of other hues. Price: CHF 6,300.
Ralph & Ricky Montauk Bear by Ralph Lauren
This has to be the cutest watch for Valentine’s Day, featuring Ralph Lauren and his wife Ricky reimagined as teddy bears holding hands on the dial of the brand’s Polo Bear collection. The watch comes in a 38 mm stainless steel case which is water resistant to 50 metres. It is powered by a self-winding movement that powers the hours, minutes, and seconds from the centre. A keen eye will notice that the crown is placed at the unusual position of two o’clock, but the quirkiness suits the overall design. The watch is completed with a brown leather strap with white stitching. Price: CHF 1,650.
Blancpain’s Ladybird Colours
We couldn’t do a St. Valentine’s gift guide without a Blancpain. Over the last 25 years, the brand has released a Valentine’s Day edition each year for this lovers’ holiday. For 2025, Blancpain is releasing a new Ladybird Colours edition with a moon phase complication. This model is housed in a 34.9 mm 18-karat white gold case and is adorned with over two carats of diamonds on the bezel, dial, and lugs. A closer look reveals a number of details dedicated to love – the second hand is a cupid’s arrow that has captured a heart and the stars on the moon phase display are also mini hearts. The timepiece is powered by a self-winding movement with an impressive 100-hour power reserve. It is limited to 14 pieces. Price: CHF 33,700.
Chopard Alpine Eagle for Him and Her
Chopard is presenting the best solution for Valentine’s Day with a “his and hers” duo of watches, so whoever is buying also benefits – it is genius! The two stainless steel watches come with the brand’s Chameleon dial which changes colour depending on the light. The men’s watch is an Alpine Eagle XPS, which comes in an extra-thin 41 mm size and is certified with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève Hallmark and the COSC certification. For the women’s version, Chopard presents a 36 mm model which is adorned with baguette-cut sapphires and is powered by a self-winding movement. This duo of watches is being sold exclusively through the Maison’s retail partner ART in TIME, so why not throw in a Valentine’s weekend in Monaco too for maximum effect? Price for the pair: Euros 60,250.
Doxa 200T Diamonds Ocean Dream
Doxa is presenting its 200T Diamonds Ocean Dream for Valentine’s Day. This 39 mm stainless steel divers’ watch has been fitted with a pink mother-of-pearl dial and two rows of diamonds and pink sapphires around the bezel, bringing some sparkle to the underwater experience. None of the watch’s diving specs have been impaired with 200-metre water resistance, a uni-directional rotating bezel, Super-LumiNova hands and indexes, and a screw-down crown. The watch is powered by a Swiss automatic movement and is fitted with a seven-link integrated stainless steel bracelet. Price: CHF 8,900.
