In 2025, the world of haute horology is embracing opulence with jewelled versions of some of the most coveted timepieces in the luxury watch universe. When iconic designs are reinterpreted through the lens of precious gemstones, the results are not just a celebration of watchmaking, but of artistry and craftsmanship. From the legendary Rolex Daytona to Patek Philippe’s sought-after Aquanaut, these dazzling creations transform timepieces into radiant works of wearable art. Here, we explore five standout jewelled watches that are redefining elegance.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak: A Glimmering Evolution

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, first introduced in 1972, now reimagines its iconic design in a stunning jewelled edition for 2025. Featuring 861 baguette-cut black sapphires, tsavorites, and smoky quartz, the watch creates a striking, camouflage-like effect.

Bulgari Octo Roma: A Phoenix in Precious Stones

With a nod to the secret watches of the 1920s. The BVL 268SK movement’s ultra-thin profile allows a skeletonised dial beneath a stunning cover, adorned with a phoenix symbolising rebirth. Crafted from blue sapphires, aquamarines, and Paraiba tourmaline, the design blends high jewellery with exceptional watchmaking.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce: A Glittering Glimpse of Summer

Patek Philippe enhances the iconic Aquanaut, first launched in 1996, with a jewelled edition that blends sporty elegance and luxurious design. The dial features 72 baguette-cut blue sapphires and 38 baguette-cut diamonds, with a snow-setting technique adding brilliance with white diamonds.

Piaget Polo: A Radiant Celebration of Craftsmanship

Piaget celebrates its 150th anniversary with a spectacular tribute to the Polo, originally introduced in 1979. This reimagined, jewel-encrusted version features a 49mm case adorned with baguette-cut rubies and diamonds, blending high jewellery with precision timekeeping..

Rolex Daytona: A Radiant Spin on a Motorsport Legend

Rolex elevates the iconic Cosmograph Daytona with two new jewelled versions for 2024, combining precision with luxury. Each model features a mother-of-pearl dial and brilliant-cut diamonds, enhancing the watch’s refinement. One version showcases a white mother-of-pearl dial with black subdials, set in a white-gold case with a black Oysterflex bracelet.

In 2025, these jewelled timepieces serve as a stunning reminder that watches are not merely instruments of time—they are expressions of artistry, craftsmanship, and personal style. From the meticulous setting of sapphires to the bold use of diamonds, these iconic designs have been transformed into sparkling masterpieces that elevate the art of horology to dazzling new heights.

More Sparkle, Less Rules: Winter 2025’s Jewelry Is All About Personality

Jewelry isn’t just an accessory this season—it’s the main character. Here’s what to stack, pin, swing, and layer now.

Forget quiet luxury—this season’s jewelry is anything but shy.

From the dramatic runways of Paris to the street style heroes in New York and Milan, to the Serene Fashion Parades of India, Fashion has many names and styles for each season. Every season is different from the previous, in terms of Fashion!

The Fall/Winter 2025 is ushering in a jewelry revival that’s less about prestige and more about personality. The mood? Think bolder, looser, minimalistic yet chunky and yet exceptionally offbeat.

Designers are ditching dainty and embracing drama: statement cuffs, grandma’s brooches (but make it cool), and necklaces so long they might get tangled in your belt loops. If your jewelry box has been playing it safe, it’s time to shake things up.

Here are the five key trends dominating the cool-weather conversation—each with just the right mix of nostalgia, irreverence, and runway-ready style.

1. Statement Cuffs: The Arm Party Is Back

Big, sculptural cuffs are taking center stage. Whether it’s polished metal, lacquered wood, or gemstone-studded creations, architectural wristwear is the bold accent every neutral coat or knit sleeve needs.✔️ Pro tip: Stack different materials for unexpected texture play, or let one oversized cuff steal the show.

2. Big Brooch Energy

The brooch is officially back—and no, it’s not just for grandmas anymore. Designers are pinning brooches to lapels, collars, and even shoes. From florals to abstract art pieces, it’s all about piling them on.

✔️ Try this: Cluster a few on your blazer or bag strap. Vintage shops & are goldmines for these.

3. Long, Layered Necklaces: The More the Merrier

Minimalists, look away. Necklaces are going long, chaotic, and charm-laden. Think layers that hit the waistband, with a mix of boho beads, bold pendants, and nostalgic trinkets. Juicy Couture flashbacks? We’re here for it.

✔️ Layer like a pro: Mix fine chains with chunky vintage finds for an eclectic, lived-in feel.

4. Fringe Earrings That Move With You

After seasons of sleek hoops and subtle studs, fringe earrings are back with a vengeance. Beaded, chained, or metallic, these swinging beauties add movement and drama—perfect for softening heavier fall silhouettes.

✔️ Best worn with: Swept-back hair, oversized scarves, and a little attitude.

5. Unexpected Placement: Jewelry Goes Rogue

Here’s where things get weird—in the best way. At McQueen, earrings tangled in hair; at Tory Burch, brooches on boots. The message is clear: wear your jewelry where you least expect it.

✔️ Fashion dare: Try a statement earring clipped to your collar, or a vintage pin on your beanie.

Jewelry this season isn’t about perfection. It’s about play. Whether you’re raiding your great-aunt’s collection or layering mismatched finds, the vibe is clear: More is more, Less can be enough and fun is fundamental.

So go ahead—say it with a brooch. Or six.
