For the One Who Loves a Classic Timepiece

• She likes wearing her jewellery on repeat, hence simple and understated designs tend to be her favourites. Cartier’s Pasha watch, with its historic cachet—the collection was created in 1943—and its streamlined two-tone bracelet perfectly embodies this timeless aesthetic.
  
  Looking to get him a timepiece that will withstand the test of time? Nothing beats Cartier’s legendary Pasha watch, which conveniently comes with two interchangeable straps—steel and alligator leather—making it adaptable to any occasion.

• As for Frederique Constant’s Highlife watch, its interchangeable bracelet will make it a flawless, customizable addition to his wardrobe.

• Last but not least, Longines’ Master watch represents the culmination of two centuries of craftsmanship, making it a meaningful icon of longevity and excellence.

For the One Who Likes Making a Statement

• To go unnoticed? No, thank you. She naturally gravitates towards pieces with distinct designs and intricate pavés, just like these spectacular jacket earrings from London-based brand Yoko, ornate with diamonds and Akoya pearls.

• Meanwhile, Messika will bedeck her neck beautifully with dazzling rose gold and diamond necklaces. For a similar effect but around the wrist, leave it to Breitling’s Chronomat watch and its 18-karat red gold dial and diamond-encrusted bezel.

For the One Who Has Everything

• The key here is to pick a piece with strong symbolic value, such as Chaumet’s Aigrette watch, created in honour of Empress Josephine whose favourite cut was the pear.

• Similar in shape, the blue sapphire found on the Bijoux Birks Splash bracelet brings to mind a water droplet: A delicate ode to lakes, waterfalls, and rivers running through the Canadian landscape and the free spirit that inhabits them, and us in return.

For the One Who Loves Modern Classics

• For a faultless combination of form and function, look no further than Tudor’s Black Bay Chrono watch—marking 50 years of chronographs—which features a fixed steel bezel, a mat black anodized aluminum disc, and a tachymetric scale.
