As summer is approaching and travel restrictions are on the way out, we are all looking forward to leaving the workplace for some well-earned rest and adventures. When packing your suitcase, why not match your watch to your luggage to feel super stylish on your travels. Here are some ideas to inspire you.
Montblanc Meisterstuck
The beauty of Montblanc is that the brand has several product categories so matching your watch with your writing instruments, sunglasses or luggage is a piece of cake. And not only do they make different categories of luxury goods, but they are often designed as a transversal collection, so they naturally go together. Check out this new Meisterstuck weekend bag that we have paired with the Montblanc1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date. We find them particularly dashing together, don’t you?
Bulgari
Bulgari is another company with several product categories. Most people know about their watches, jewellery, and perfumes, but did you know that they make the most exquisite handbags too. Here is an elegant Casablanca X Bulgari Après Tennis Coffret vanity case to match one of the Italian house’s latest Serpenti Secret timepieces. It is the perfect Dolce Vita combination.
Schwarz Etienne
One of Schwarz Etienne’s concepts is to do away with the watch packaging. The company realized that many of its clients weren’t even interested in the box their watch came in, so they decided to change tactics and make purses, travel pouches, and handbags to accompany their watches instead. This is a very smart and sustainable idea for today’s discerning clients.
Gucci
For Gucci, there are bags and watches galore to choose from for both men and women. We have chosen this mint-coloured Gucci Nojum Bamboo 1947 handle bag to go with the Gucci Grip Sapphire jumping hour timepiece. The Grip Sapphire is part of Gucci’s new High Watchmaking Collection that shows how the Italian brand is branching out into the world of high-end horlogerie. We will be covering this brand more over the summer, so stay tuned.
Hermès
Watch and bag matching is a dream at Hermès as leather is at the heart of their world. For the discerning male traveller, we have chosen the elegant weekend bag, the Sac Hermès Open, in Evergrain and Tofo calfskin with an adjustable strap. And for the watch, how about a matching blue Arceau 40 mm with a blue lacquered dial and black Barenia calfskin strap that is chicness itself?
Louis Vuitton
For Louis Vuitton, we thought we would propose something a little different from the signature brown Monogram collections. So how about this Louis Vuitton Horizon 55 trolley bag from the Spring Summer 2022 Collection with its fine Taurillon Monogram leather in blue and green? We have paired it with the Tambor Damier Graphite Race Chronograph that will get you noticed in all the right ways!
Jaeger-LeCoultre
A few years back, Jaeger-LeCoultre did a fun collaboration with luxury leather manufacturer Valextra. Together they came up with an idea to use the Rendez-Vous watch as the clutch’s strap. It was an ingenious idea. Unfortunately, it was never commercialized, but all the ladies in the WorldTempus office want to start a petition to have them made. What do you think? Are you with us?
