Loro Piana, Sandro, Max Mara – brands synonymous with ‘quiet luxury’ in fashion are relatively easy to identify. But when it comes to watches, how does ‘quiet luxury’ manifest itself? Is every Swiss watchmaker capable of achieving it, or do certain companies inevitably carry certain associations? Can a brand known for emblazoning its logo across its products still craft a timepiece that embodies quiet luxury? I set out to explore the world of quiet luxury watches to uncover what defines this elusive concept, and to spotlight some of the finest examples currently on the market.
As a Brit, the author of these lines has always been drawn to understated hues: the dark green of a timeworn Barbour jacket or a mud-splattered old Land Rover Defender, the iconic beige of a Burberry trench coat with its subtle check lining, or the classic black of Hunter wellies. This muted colour palette is at the heart of quiet luxury. To give another example for the classic car enthusiasts: while a 1960s Bahama Yellow Porsche 911 might just cross into the realm of ostentatious despite its iconic sloping roofline and notable heritage, an olive-green 911S from 1977 (I’m thinking of that iconic Coupé in the series The Bridge) exudes a far more refined, understated elegance. The lesson? The colours of the products we choose significantly influence our perceptions and how we present ourselves. A neutral palette conveys a sense of modesty and restraint, appealing to those who prefer to avoid overt displays of wealth.

Another crucial aspect of quiet luxury is its ability to endure the test of time. Fashion trends often come and go – let’s not forget, ladies and gentlemen, the days of frosted tips, silk shirts, velour tracksuits, and square-toe dress shoes, all of which once basked in an ill-judged moment of 1990s glory. The same principle applies to watches: while many timepieces push the boundaries of innovation and engineering, they sometimes stray into excessive territory, attracting those who favour ostentatious statements above the subtler side of luxury apparel.
Consider, for example, the Chanel J12, the Jacob & Co. Billionaire Watch, or the Bulgari Diagono Magnesium Chronograph. Each of these timepieces possesses a distinctive charisma and recognisable style, yet they are deliberately designed to attract attention – standing in stark contrast to the concept of understated elegance. Common traits among them include oversized cases, loud aesthetics, and often modern material choices. By contrast, watches embodying the essence of understated luxury are characterised by their clean lines, timelessly elegant materials, and exceptional craftsmanship.
With a foundation established for what constitutes ‘quiet luxury,’ let’s take a closer look at a handful of the finest such watches available today. Given the wealth of beautiful vintage pieces out there, we will focus on watches recently launched on the market. Of course, the following list is only a drop in the ocean in terms of the numerous ‘quiet luxury’ watches out there – but hopefully this selection can help our readers to recognise features to look out for when choosing their own ‘quiet luxury’ watch.
Daniel Roth Tourbillon Rose Gold
Let’s start with one of the most-discussed brands amongst collectors right now: DANIEL ROTH, which recently launched a new model simply christened the ‘Tourbillon Rose Gold’. Established in 1988 by its namesake, DANIEL ROTH is particularly celebrated for its exquisite hand-crafted dials. The brand’s groundbreaking model, the Souscription, firmly established the its place in the annals of independent watchmaking history. In 2000, DANIEL ROTH was sold to Bulgari, and in early 2023, it found a new home under the attentive care of Louis Vuitton’s La Fabrique du Temps. Now guided by master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, Daniel Roth is fast gaining popularity while maintaining a highly limited production. The brand produces no more than 50 tourbillon watches each year, reflecting the intensive craftsmanship involved – and making the new Tourbillon Rose Gold limited editions even more coveted.
While the distinctive case shape is recognisable to connoisseurs and the movement is exquisite in every aspect, it is the expertly decorated dial that truly defines a DANIEL ROTH. This timepiece features a guillochage en ligne dial, showcasing a pattern of parallel, vertical lines that harks back to the original C187, a revered tourbillon model created by watchmaking maestro Daniel Roth himself. Although the earliest C187 models featured a hobnail guilloche finish (as seen in the Tourbillon Souscription), Daniel Roth made guillochage en ligne a signature of his brand shortly after its establishment.
The dial of the Tourbillon Rose Gold is the result of a prestigious collaboration with the illustrious engine-turning atelier of Kari Voutilainen. The guilloche work is not simply an ornamental embellishment; it is a testament to artistry, meticulously hand-engraved using a manually-operated straight-line engine that carves each vertical line with exquisite precision. This intricate process requires a discerning eye and a steady hand, as even the faintest error compels the artisan to begin anew. It’s the epitome of quiet luxury: meticulously hand-crafted with remarkable horological expertise, featuring a thoughtfully designed case crafted from precious materials, and carrying a whole lot of heritage. It’s also a piece that will not draw attention from the crowds, but certainly earn respect from discerning collectors.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin
Many would make the case that the famous Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is a ‘quiet luxury’ model, and they’d be quite right. Few watch models with such a distinctive design, from the case’s Art-Deco gadroons to the iconic reversable case, have so stood the test of time. However, in this article I would highlight another model from the luxury Swiss watch manufacture: the Master Ultra Thin Date watch.
This watch meets a lot of the fundamental ‘quiet luxury’ criteria. Firstly, the Master Ultra Thin reflects Jaeger-LeCoultre’s approach of combining skilled craftsmanship with timeless design. It takes classic, enduring watch features and gives them a modern twist, with clean, elegant lines in every piece. It is beautifully restrained; no excessive embellishments in sight. The only addition to this three-hand timepiece is a date window, subtly slotted yet carefully framed at 6 o’clock.
A particularly impressive feat of this 39 mm steel dress watch lies in the fact that the case has a height of only 7.8 mm. The slim watch integrates a small yet easy-grip crown bearing the JLC logo and slightly curved lugs with gradual chamfering that contribute the watch’s overall wearability. Meanwhile, the layered caseback with four exposed screws reveals the 3.3mm calibre 899/1. The ultra-thin automatic movement integrates time display with central seconds, with stop-seconds for setting and an instantaneous date. Jaeger-LeCoultre also demonstrate their incredibly high level of craftsmanship through the addition of the watch movement’s exquisite decoration, primarily the Côtes de Genève across the baseplate and 22-carat gold oscillating weight.
Despite erring towards the larger end of the spectrum for a dress watch, seeing this timepiece in person and on the wrist demonstrates that a refined design can elegantly offset a relatively sizeable case. If anything, it makes the watch just that little bit more masculine. Furthermore, the choice of a silvered grey dial is almost always a winner, as the unobtrusive hue enables a watch’s design features to take central stage. A particularly charming and timeless detail is the printed minute scale alongside the brand name and ‘Automatique’ designation, both of which contribute a touch of vintage charm. Additionally, the dial showcases polished rhodium-plated hour markers that are multi-faceted and three-dimensional. These thoughtfully designed indexes are angled to catch even the faintest light, ensuring excellent legibility. Overall, this piece is a classy and fitting choice for any occasion. A black leather strap rounds off this impeccable dress watch.
Parmigiani Fleurier Toric Chronograph Rattrapante Rose Gold Natural Umber
What would an article on quiet luxury be without a piece from King Charles III’s favoured watchmaker, Parmigiani Fleurier? Still more of a collector brand than a household name, Parmigiani has nevertheless enjoyed a rise to prominence in recent years thanks to a certain CEO taking the helm back in 2021: Guido Terreni, who previously brought fame to Bulgari’s watchmaking department with the exquisite Octo Finissimo. Terreni soon brought glory to the house of Parmigiani through the introduction of the Tonda PF, which he once told us was his ‘proudest achievement’. Another line he has since revitalised is the quietly beautiful Toric.
Terreni prides himself upon creating a customer base that is not necessarily far-reaching, but rather fits with the company’s values. “We are choosing an educated customer who is knowledgeable about luxury and looking to indulge themselves through an object that is not ostentatious, but extraordinarily crafted.” The entire Toric collection inevitably fulfils the category of ‘quiet luxury’ – but this particular model provides proof that just because something is ‘quiet’, it by no means need be boring.
Enter the Toric Chronograph Rattrapante Rose Gold Natural Umber. What really stands out about this watch, which is limited to a mere 30 pieces, is that despite its highly respected complication, it manages to fly below the radar. As the name suggests, this timepiece integrates a rattrapante mechanism (aka split seconds), displaying a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, and running seconds at 6 o’clock. Featuring a rose-gold, hand-grained dial in a ‘natural umber’ colour palette alongside quietly integrated 18-carat rose gold indices and hands matching to the case and knurled bezel, the watch maintains an air of refinement despite its impressively complex mechanism.
Powering the Toric Chronograph Rattrapante Rose Gold Natural Umber is Parmigiani Fleurier’s in-house calibre PF361. Visible via the open caseback, this handsome movement glows in 18-carat rose gold and runs at a high frequency of 5Hz, all while integrating a double column wheel for the rattrapante mechanism. Decorated to the highest level, the calibre showcases satin-finished, open-worked bridges and hand-bevelled edges. Each watch’s caseback also subtly engraves the individual number of the limited edition. Parmigiani Fleurier round off the watch’s distinguished aesthetic with a soft sand-gold hand-stitched nubuck alligator leather strap. If that’s not quiet luxury, what is?
Breguet Classique 7147: Ref. 7147BR/29/9WU
The winds of change are coming to the world’s most historic watchmaker, founded in 1775, as former VP Product of Omega, Gregory Kissling, makes the move over to Breguet as CEO. While many of Breguet’s models such as the Marine and Type XX pilot’s watches have been heated topics of discussion amongst watch enthusiasts in recent years, one can always rely on the Classique for something special. The simple yet very handsome Classique 7147 (Ref. 7147BR/29/9WU) is one such piece.
This watch aptly brings together many of Breguet’s hallmark characteristics, which have endured across the decades. The 18-carat rose-gold 7147 showcases a clean Grand feu dial, with the words ‘Swiss Emaille Grand Feu’ printed between 7 and 8 o’clock. ‘Grand feu’ is the art of fusing enamel powder to metal, and involves a wafer-thin metal disc and multiple layers of enamel powder delicately applied by paintbrush, and fired at over 800 degrees Celsius. Achieving the perfect Grand feu dial is incredibly difficult, with many ending up discarded. The result, however, is a beautifully pure white enamel dial.
The 40 mm watch’s broad dial indicates the time via open-tipped Breguet pomme hands, in addition to the Breguet Arabic numerals, both of which were invented by the master himself. Dainty symbols and dots indicate the minutes while adding to the historic feel of this watch. A particularly attractive feature is the seamlessly integrated small seconds with a matching blued steel seconds hand. Blued hands, by the way, are an impressive horological feat that require painstaking patience and calculation by craftsmen. During the bluing phase, a skilled watchmaker must take into account the varying thicknesses of the metal. Thinner sections are more prone to adopting a bluish hue, while thicker areas require a bit more time to achieve the desired colour.
One thing missing from this particular edition is the exquisite guilloché dial decoration that Breguet is so renowned for. However, the wearer is still treated to an aesthetic show via the caseback, where the trusty ultra-thin calibre 502.3 SD (once a Frédéric Piguet factory movement in the 70s) showcase Breguet’s distinctive guilloché finishing via the unusual three-quarter 22-carat white-gold rotor. Black polishing, engine-turning, bevelling and Côtes de Genève also demonstrate the watch’s incredible attention to detail. In addition, an open barrel reveals the mainspring below, adding to the spectacle.
At a pleasingly slim height of just 6.6 mm, the watch beautifully showcases Breguet’s distinctive fluted middle case. Welded to this are the lugs attaching the strap. This is achieved through a meticulous construction method whereby the watchmaker painstakingly welds the lugs directly onto the case – an approach that is both rare and impressive in the Swiss watchmaking industry. Meanwhile, the case is cold-rolled to achieve its smooth, coined shape. This watch exemplifies ‘quiet luxury’ by demonstrating that the devil really is in the details. A final touch: between the centre of the dial and 3 o’clock, Breguet integrate its hallmark shallow laser-edged ‘secret signature’, visible only upon close inspection by the wearer.
Van Cleef & Arpels Pierre Arpels Heure d’Ici & Heure d’Ailleurs
When one thinks of Van Cleef & Arpels’ watchmaking department, the first thing that comes to mind is likely its incredible automaton clocks or glitteringly graceful timepieces. However, the brand has also long played host to some classic watches, not least the Pierre Arpels, conceived by the man of the same name in 1949. The Van Cleef Heure d’Ici & Heure d’Ailleurs maintains the model’s distinctive old-school features, not least the distinctT-bar lugs, while quietly integrated a still rarely seen function: the jump hour. But it’s done with a twist: as the French speakers amongst our readers will already have surmised, the watch integrates not only the ‘home time’ but also an ‘away time’, making this refined-looking piece a rather useful travel watch.
Part of ‘quiet luxury’ is creating something well-proportioned. With the combination of a plain white dial and thin bezel, this watch looks bigger than it is – but at 42 mm, it’s incredibly wearable. As for the equally well-proportioned T-bar lugs: today, T-bar lugs are a rarity, glimpsed only on a few pieces – the Cartier Pasha, the odd few vintage Vendôme watches, and a handful of beautiful old Omega De Ville pieces. T-bar lugs give such timepieces a real touch of heritage, and while they might not hold a broad appeal today, they certainly exude a gentlemanly charm.
Another typical Van Cleef feature is that the brand’s watches are also so attractive, one forgets just how complex they actually are. The picturesque yet complex Lady Arpels Heures Florales watches are a prime example. The same also applies to this model. Despite its modest single-hand two-aperture appearance, the wearer actually has something incredibly fine and intricate on the wrist, as the open caseback discloses.
When developing the Heure d’ici & Heure d’ailleurs, Van Cleef & Arpels collaborated with specialists in complex mechanics and movements, Agenhor. Together, they crafted a double jumping hour and minute retrograde display. This innovative mechanism showcases the home time in the upper aperture, while the lower aperture indicates the second time zone. Both displays jump simultaneously, thanks to a single sector that synchronises the hour discs with the retrograde minute hand. When the minute hand reaches the 60-minute mark, it swiftly returns to the starting position, prompting the hour displays to change in unison. This is a notable advancement, as many jumping hour watch movements experience desynchronisation, with the hour change lagging behind the minutes.
As I said when writing a review, the Heure d’Ici & Heure d’Ailleurs is a quintessential Van Cleef & Arpels watch. While many might first think of delicate Alhambra pieces, the enchanting Lady Féerie, or the captivating Midnight Planétarium as archetypal VC&A creations, this purist jump hour watch embodies the maison’s poetic romanticism. It pays subtle homage to horological history and innovation, and features a sophisticated and luxurious design, all while quietly infusing a sense of adventure.
Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin
No discussion of ‘quiet luxury’ would be complete without an appearance by Vacheron Constantin, a brand synonymous with sophistication. Yet, returning to the question we encountered with the Parmigiani Fleurier watch, can a complicated – not to mention gold – watch ever be ‘quiet luxury’? Although some may contend that it’s impossible, the Patrimony Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin appears to prove otherwise.
This 41 mm rose-gold masterpiece captures a vintage feel through the combination of a polished precious metal case, silver-toned opaline dial (I would dub it ‘eggshell’), and subtle hand-type perpetual calendar functions. The dainty circular ‘pearl’ minute-track composed by 48 polished 18-carat gold pearls, quietly adds luxurious detail. A moonphase at 6 o’clock adds balance to the timepiece, and features a star-studded sky and two gold moons.
Another common ‘quiet luxury’ motif: unassuming watches often quietly integrate laudable horological feats. In the case of this Patrimony, the watch, which has a height of only 8.91 mm, integrates an ultra-slim complicated automatic movement, measuring just 4.05 mm thick, which will keep perfect time until 2100. Its functions include a 48-month counter with leap year indication, hours, day of the week, month, moonphase and minutes.
In addition, its open-worked caseback reveals the exceptional hand-finished details that lead to the watch earning the coveted Hallmark of Geneva. The movement’s smooth surfaces are not just functional; they are a canvas for Vacheron Constantin’s artisans, featuring a meticulously executed Côtes de Genève motif. Every sharp angle is expertly chamfered and hand-polished, showcasing the craftsmanship that goes into each detail. Even the screw heads receive the same level of care, reflecting a commitment to precision and beauty that elevates the entire piece. True luxury, quietly executed.
Louis Vuitton Metiers d’Art Escale
Having journeyed this far, you may now be primed to delve into some controversy. Here’s another question we promised to address: can brands that have derived a significant portion of their profits from prominently displaying their logos ever create a product that embodies ‘quiet luxury’? To illustrate this point, I will boldly cite Louis Vuitton, perhaps the most obvious specimen for such a case study.
We have several points to contend with. One is brand identity: above all, Louis Vuitton is known for its bags and travel cases with the LV logo. Generally speaking, brands known for their prominent logos often cultivate an image centered around ostentation and status. So, can a brand like Louis Vuitton create a timpiece that embraces more of a ‘quiet luxury’ ethos without creating dissonance with their brand identity?
One could argue that the Louis Vuitton Metiers d’Art Escale timepieces do just that. How? They embrace the brand’s history and heritage. A decade ago, Louis Vuitton launched the Escale collection.
Since the introduction of the original Escale World Timer in 2014, the collection has expanded significantly, with cases that evoke the iconic Louis Vuitton trunks. This design has provided a platform for various playful complications, including a world timer, a minute repeater, and models that utilise Louis Vuitton’s innovative ‘Spin Time’ system, displaying hours on rotating cubes. Fun, yes – but doesn’t embody ‘quiet luxury.’ However, earlier this year, the brand unveiled the Escale Cabinet of Wonders Métiers d’Art, a small selection of new timepieces that further celebrate Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s legacy.
The hand-wound, time-only watches highlight the brand’s rich history, and more specifically, the intricate details of its iconic trunks. The name ‘Escale’, which translates to ‘stopover’ in French, pays homage to the luggage that initially built the brand’s fortune and remains integral to its identity. While the Escale timepieces may not be travel watches in the traditional sense, they do exude clarity in design and feature meticulously crafted details that enhance their functional purpose. Things are looking more promising.
Indeed, these watches, available in rose-gold or platinum, pay great attention to detail. We can focus on the most traditional of them, which appears in a 39 mm rose-gold case and flaunts a silver textured dial. Aesthetic nods to Louis Vuitton’s trunks are evident: the textured dials mirror the luxurious Nomade leather associated with the brand, while the lugs are inspired by the brass corner guards and brackets of the trunks. Additionally, the applied dial markers echo the shapes of Louis Vuitton’s luggage hardware, including the nails and rivets that contribute to its durability. The hands are designed to evoke the stitching needles used in crafting leather goods, subtly emphasising the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and heritage.
On that note, let’s circle back to the fact that quiet luxury emphasises high-quality materials, craftsmanship, innovation and timeless design rather than branding. One could well make the case that these special Escale editions do just that. Powering the watches is the micro-rotor calibre LF023, which is produced by La Fabrique du Temp’s partner, Le Cercle des Horlogers. When Jean Arnault first unveiled this movement within the revamped Tambour collection, he revealed that the calibre’s role was to set new standards within Louis Vuitton’s watch portfolio, whether entry level or haute horlogerie. The shining star of the calibre is the decorated micro-rotor, glowing in 22-carat gold and stylised in a repeating ‘LV’ motif. The perlage of the bridges and the polissage and finish of the edges are wonderful examples of a deep understanding of watch history and what matters to collectors.
Thus, we have to consider the customer. Many of Louis Vuitton’s followers do appreciate products with oversized logos, and such clients tend to be seeking recognition through visible branding. Not quite followers of ‘quiet luxury’. On the other hand, the rise of Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking department under Jean Arnault, combined with the acquisition of the highly respected La Fabrique du Temps and its master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, has won the respect, if not necessarily the hearts, of many seasoned collectors. Whether or not you believe Louis Vuitton can legitimately create a ‘quiet luxury’ watch is up for debate – but certainly provides food for thought.
Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer
Let’s move back to a collector favourite, the Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer. As the general pattern of this article demonstrates, you are most likely to encounter a ‘dress watch’ when seeking a ‘quiet luxury’ watch. Earlier, the author of these lines voiced an appreciation for the dark green hues that often go unnoticed by the less discerning eye, but are well worthy of praise. When one thinks of ‘quiet luxury’, it tends to conjure up images of beige and vanilla hues. This by no means needs to be the case, as the wonderfully classic Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer proves.
Despite a simple design and restrained appearance on first glance, this watch has a phenomenal number of features to unpack. Let’s start with the solid gold dial in forest green, which features guilloché honeycomb pattern in the centre that is typical of the manufacture and immediately recognisable to connoisseurs. The gold indices lie on a sunburst hour circle. Meanwhile, the time is indicated by gold-plated dauphine hands together with the small seconds at 6 o’clock, which houses what I would argue is the most smoothly integrated date window in recent watch history. An old-school minute track encircles the dial.
Now for the real delight: a pusher is integrated into the crown, which opens the cover of the watch’s sapphire crystal caseback. This cover function goes back to pocket watches, once protecting the glass of the pocket watches. However, the ‘officer’s caseback’, as it was known, was lost with the introduction of wristwatches. Chopard brought this relic back and decorated the lid with the brand’s distinctive honeycomb motif on the outside. On the inside, a hand-engraved beehive awaits the wearer, along with randomly placed bees that make each Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer unique.
As you’d expect, the watch’s movement is beautifully finished, as lifting up the cover reveals. With an overall height of 3.3 mm, the in-house calibre L.U.C 96.01-L is also extremely slim. Nevertheless, it offers automatic winding via a 22-carat gold micro-rotor, and, thanks to the two barrels, the power reserve is a solid 65 hours. Meanwhile, the Swiss Chronometer Control Centre (COSC) vouches for its accuracy, guaranteeing a maximum deviation of -4/+6 seconds per day. The watch also bears the Geneva Seal. This certification strictly controls the quality of all components of the timepiece and falls under a law of the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland.
Highly refined at every turn, the case measures 40 mm in diameter with a height of 7.7 mm. It features vertically satin-brushed flanks and lugs, while the bezel and caseback are polished. Chopard match the 18-carat ethically produced yellow gold case to a smart, timelessly attractive brown leather strap. Bringing together craftsmanship, heritage, style, and a good dose of innovation, it’s the ultimate ‘quiet luxury’ gentleman’s wristwatch.
Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph
Just to challenge the dress watch theme once again, we can conclude with a chronograph – the Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph, to be precise. This particular model, with a yellow-gold with a grained gold-finish dial, has dimensions of 43.7 x 34.8 x 10.7 mm. It was released as a limited edition of a mere 200 pieces, making it particularly coveted. While its launch in April 2024 marked a modern reintroduction of the complication within the collection, enthusiasts will be aware that Cartier first introduced the single-button chronograph in a Tortue model back in 1928. It was then reinterpreted in 1998 as part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris, featuring the refined details we see today: blued-steel apple-shaped hands, a hollowed central seconds hand, and triangular motifs at the dial’s four corners. This elegant model serves as Cartier’s inspiration for its current rendition, and it’s proof that a product can fit the ‘quiet luxury’ bill without having to strictly adhere to minimalism.
To enhance the legibility of the dial and fully capitalise on the precision of this chronograph, Cartier positions the rail track beyond the Roman numerals. The design remains uncluttered, with the dial space devoted entirely to the two snailed sub-dials, rendered in blue for optimal clarity. The start, stop, and reset functions are seamlessly incorporated into a single pusher integrated within the crown, enabling effortless activation in one motion. Hours and minutes are elegantly displayed by apple-shaped hands.
At the heart of the Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph lies the manual-winding 1928 MC movement, tastefully showcased through the open caseback. This striking display not only reveals the intricate dance of gears in motion but also highlights the calibre’s essential column wheel, a crucial component that meticulously regulates the various levers’ functions. At just 4.3 mm thick, the 1928 MC stands as Cartier’s slimmest chronograph, embodying a harmonious blend of sophistication and innovation. Every detail of its decoration is a testament to artistry – the gracefully curved Côte de Genève finish accentuates the bridge’s contours, while the levers, springs, and bridges are meticulously bevelled. The brushed metal of the calibre enhances its refined aesthetic, while the wheels and barrels feature elegantly rimmed finishes, showcasing Cartier’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. As far as ‘quiet luxury’ goes, this classic serves as a pretty good conclusion.
Quiet luxury watches – finding your perfect piece
As mentioned, it’s impossible to list every ‘quiet luxury’ watch out there. However, this modest selection has hopefully equipped you with the knowledge that there is more than one way to define a ‘quiet luxury’ timepiece, but there are certainly signs to look out for. A ‘quiet luxury’ watch should tell a story without saying a word. Every detail should reflect the dedication of artisans who pour their hearts into their work. The subtle beauty of its design allows it to shine without needing to boast a brand logo, inviting those who appreciate true quality to recognise its value. A ‘quiet luxury’ watch is more than an accessory; it’s a personal statement of character and taste, and a gentle reminder that the most meaningful things in life are often those that go unnoticed.
