How to dress up for your watch
Men love their watches. And why should they not? Watches are a powerful reflection of their personalities and tastes and not just style statements. But just like one shirt cannot be paired with everything, a single watch cannot fit all occasions and looks. Feeling perplexed?
Sharp Italian look
If you love giving off the Casanova charm then 007’s style is what you need. A suit with the perfect fit, cut, fabric; along with a subtle hint of accessories; a classic limited edition watch and a crisp, woody fragrance adding to the sharpness of the look. Now you know why the ladies go weak in the knees at the mere mention of Italian men.
Watch by Raymond Weil MAESTRO; Raymond Weil Limited Edition is the kind of watch that adds to the exclusivity of the look. Launched as a tribute edition, the dial of the timepiece features Raymond Weil’s hand-written signature.
Suit by Marks & Spencer Blue is the colour of the season and it enhances the regality. Italian style tailoring - combined with classic shade of blue - works wonders in terms of the fit and the cuts.
Shirt from GANT Checks look great with everything; which is why they never go out of style. When coupled with our blue suit, gives a very ‘stand-out’ impression.
Belt by Da Milano A brown belt provides a soothing contrast as it complements the sharpness of blue, yet not overshadowing its sexy overtones.
Sunglasses by Hugo Boss Just like the checks, Wayfarers are, and will always be, in vogue as they suit all face types. The sunglasses will just add the much-needed finishing touch.
Leather Bag by Corneliani Smart and savvy... and its Corneliani. Need we spell it out more?
Fragrance by Jaguar Crisp, woody and oriental fragrances with a hint of freshness help build a casanova aura. With just the apt mix of aromas, Eau de Toilette Jaguar hits all the right notes.

Shoes by Corneliani Suede shoes bridge the gap between formal shoes and casual shoes. They have been sent by god for this look.
Business formals
You are the office honcho and everything about you, right down to your watch, should say that. A well cut classic t-button suit with the right accessories; oxford shoes, a dark tan leather strap formal watch, cuff-links and a lingering spicy fragrance, make the perfect combination for power dressing. And power, as we’ve come to know, drives a woman heady with desire.
Watch by Chopard Nothing exudes power more than an elegant dark tan hand sewn leather strap watch with a brown sunburst satin-brushed dial and L.U.C Quattro provides you that power.

Tie by Corneliani A pinstripe tie comprises an essential part of the business attire. Paired with a white shirt, the green and gray tie adds a little fun to the outfit.
Belt by Brooks Brothers The shine of the belt accentuates the element of power dressing of the attire. That’s the beauty of black belts, you pair them with anything and they take the outfit to fab from drab.
Cuff-links by Paul Smith The cuff-links are simply designed with Paul Smith engraved on them. Like your attitude, they are classy and to the point.
Shoes by Paul Smith Just like the belt, a shiny pair of black high-shine calf leather ‘Aldrich’ brogues highlight the outfit. After all it’s all about power dressing at work.
Fragrance by Mont Blanc A lingering aroma of wood, spices and musk leaves a lasting impression. This is Starwalker in words for you.
The holiday look
Vacations are tantamount to having fun. Ditch the serious work mode attire and switch to a fun colourful look. Strut around the beach in cargo shorts, block the sun with square-shaped sunglasses and don’t forget to adorn a colourful bright watch to complete the look. Let the aquatic fragrance add to the holiday mode. Be jovial and it’ll be a vacation that you’d never forget. Smile can be the best ice-breaker (if you know what we mean).
Watch by Breitling The colourful bright yellow dial of the Aerospace Evo Night makes it apt for the holiday look. The timepiece is sturdy and vibrant.
Collared tee from Calvin Klein You are having fun and it should reflect in your clothing. Shades like orange add to the peppiness of the look and your mood.
Cargo shorts by French Connection Bright colours never go out of fashion for a reason. Orange tee combined with blue shorts gives off a very cool vibe.
Shades by Emporio Armani You are spending your entire day at the beach. These squared shape shades will help you ward off the sun, that too in style.

Watch by Salvatore Ferragamo The classic F-80 has a dressed-up, sleek case. Traditional yet modern at the same time, the watch is the hero of this look.
Shirt by Thomas Pink Simplicity is the key to dressing smart. Because the watch is dressy, it’s better to stick to a Malcolm Plain Linen Shirt.
Waistcoat The combination of a black waistcoat, plain shirt and blue chinos completes the party vibe of the outfit.
Chinos by Brooks Brothers Chinos have a casual yet a formal demeanour to themselves. The colour blue livens up the look.
