Autumn Edit: Luxury Watches We’re Loving This Season

By JAMES SAMPSON

As the weather cools down, it's the perfect time to update your watch collection with pieces that reflect the season. This autumn, we’re focusing on watches that offer a combination of precision, craftsmanship, and versatility. Pairing these with leather or fabric straps can give your watch a more seasonal look, adding warmth and depth to your wrist game. From timeless complications to modern icons, here are four standout watches to consider this season.

What’s with the trend, you may wonder? There are a few angles to consider. While case sizes are moving more conservative in scale (generally), aesthetic tastes are growing more bold. In the same way that customisation and personalisation has become a big player in the luxury market, the demand for something different or out-of-the-ordinary has also grown substantially. That in mind, green dials are historically not all that common in comparison to most other colours. Mainstays like blue, red, and even yellow or orange were a more frequent sighting, dating back a few decades, whereas green’s rise to the forefront has been much more recent.

All that in mind, below you’ll find an assortment of our favourites, all available in the shop.

A. Lange & Söhne 1815, White Gold, 2024

A. Lange & Söhne never disappoints, and the 1815 in white gold is no exception. With its clean, classical aesthetic, this 2024 example carries the perfect balance of tradition and innovation. The 1815’s roots are in the rich heritage of pocket watches, and its sleek, understated design is a tribute to Lange’s history of precision engineering. The silvered dial with blued steel hands and its beautifully crafted movement are visible through the sapphire case back. The crisp white gold casing makes it a versatile piece that can effortlessly transition from formal to casual settings. It’s the perfect wrist companion for autumn’s understated elegance.

Rolex Daytona 116506, Platinum, 2023

If there’s one watch that embodies both luxury and performance, it’s the Rolex Daytona. This 2023 example brings the classic Daytona’s racing pedigree into the realm of ultra-luxury. The ice-blue dial paired with a platinum case creates a cool, sophisticated look perfect for the cooler months. The brown ceramic bezel offers a striking contrast, while the sleek chronograph functionality ensures this is more than just a pretty face. It’s a must-have for those who want a timepiece that exudes both status and style, whether you're at a formal event or out on a crisp autumn drive.

IWC Portofino Perpetual Calendar, Rose Gold, 1990s

Finally, the IWC Portofino Perpetual Calendar is a masterpiece with a touch of timeless charm. The perpetual calendar complication effortlessly tracks the date, day, month, and year, all while maintaining an elegant, minimalist design. This particular model, with its deep dial and classic Roman numerals, embodies understated sophistication. The moonphase adds a subtle yet striking visual element in a traditional 35mm case. As the colder months set in, the Portofino Perpetual Calendar’s versatility ensures it pairs just as well with a cozy sweater as it does with a tailored suit, making it the perfect companion for any autumn wardrobe.

A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Moonphase, Rose Gold, 2021

For those with a thing for refined details, the Lange 1 Moonphase in rose gold is a solid choice. The model’s asymmetric dial, with its large date and elegant moonphase complication, offers a unique twist on a classic. The warm rose gold case feels perfectly suited to the autumnal colour palette, while the moonphase adds a poetic touch, tracking the lunar cycle with incredible accuracy. A traditional Lange design that has been around since the original four watches were introduced back in 1994 - it’s a work of art that beautifully captures the changing seasons, making it an essential addition to any serious collection this autumn.

This autumn, let your wrist reflect the season’s shift - each of these watches offers a unique combination of heritage, luxury, and functionality, making them the ideal timepieces for this season.
