Below, explore his + hers combinations — pairing exquisite timepieces with festive styling cues — to help you shine on Diwali night.
Icons that will steal the night
For Him: Breguet Marine 5517
With its refined contours and elegant dial, the Marine 5517 is ideal for a grand puja or candlelit evening event. The subtle metallic tones catch the glow of diyas, and it pairs beautifully with a silk kurta or bandh gala.
For Her: Chopard Happy Sport Oval with Floating Diamonds
This watch is pure magic: floating diamonds dance across the dial like flickering lamps. A satin saree or lehenga in pastel gold or ivory lets the watch stand out without overpowering the outfit.
Speak volumes, but silently
For Him: Bathyscaphe Chronograph
The bold subdials, crisp pushers, and robust case reflect the spirited energy of Diwali celebrations, while its high-performance movement anchors it in horological prestige. The polished accents catch light beautifully, making it a standout against traditional attire without being showy. Pair it with a deep navy or graphite sherwani, and let this timepiece deliver precision with personality.
For Her: Breguet Reine de Naples 8918
A feminine icon with an oval case and guilloché dial, it brings soft elegance to any festive look. Let it shine alongside a rich maroon or emerald green outfit — the contrast enhances its finesse.
Bold Pieces for a Contemporary Diwali
For Him: Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Titanium
The Spirit of Big Bang Titanium defies convention with its bold skeletonized dial, angular case, and visible mechanics. In a Diwali gathering, it becomes a centerpiece; conversations draw you in, curious about its architecture and interplay of finishes.
Pair it with a charcoal or off-white kurta, or layer it under a sharp Nehru jacket.
For Her: Big Bang Steel Blue Diamonds
This timepiece fuses haute jewelry with bold aesthetics. The steel case, blue accents, and diamond embellishments give it both strength and sparkle. When the lights hit the diamonds just right, it becomes a focal point of glamour. Wear it with contemporary ensembles or fusion lehengas to balance tradition with edge. It’s for those who want to shine boldly and confidently.
Understated, Elegant and Fits with every vibe
For Him: Omega Speedmaster ’57
With its vintage-inspired dial layout, slim bezel, and elegant proportions, this Timepiece channels subtlety with strength. Under festive lights, the brushed finishes and fine detailing reveal themselves more than shout — it’s a watch that rewards a closer look. Pair it with a charcoal kurta or ivory ensemble so that the watch’s quiet confidence becomes a discovery rather than a declaration.
For Her: Omega Constellation
This Constellation model suits the art of refined adornment. Its signature claw-like case elements, star motif, and sophisticated dial textures give it presence without overt sparkle. It’s ideal for sarees and lehengas in soft tones — the watch complements the outfit, offering a gentle glow rather than overpowering glamor.
Style Tips to Make Your Watch Part of the
Festive Story
-
Capture the light: Choose watches with polished surfaces, gem accents, or textured dials so they reflect the lights and warmth of Diwali décor.
-
Complement, don’t match: Let your watch harmonize with outfit tones — a contrast (steel vs. warm tones) can be more striking than exact matching.
-
Balance with jewelry: If your timepiece is bold, keep earrings or necklaces lighter; if your outfit is heavily adorned, let the watch shine.
-
Fit for comfort: You’ll be greeting, eating, mingling — ensure the strap is snug but comfortable for hours of wear.
-
Celebrate with confidence: Let your timepiece echo your personal style — when you feel good, every conversation is easier.
This Diwali, let your wrist become a beacon. These curated picks from Johnson & Co. don’t just tell time — they tell your story, they catch the light, they invite attention.
