Life as a couple involves not only mutual love and respect but also the sharing of common preferences. I remember the first time my wife put on my favorite sweater fooling around at home. At first, it seemed a little strange to me and I even got a little frustrated. Why would she wear my clothes?! In just a few minutes, I realized she was looking so great with my sweater on her that I fell in love all over again.
The same thing happened when I discovered my wife was stealing my watches. I woke up one morning and couldn’t find the watch that I wore every day. I called her and she modestly laughed and told me that she took it. Actually, I didn’t rush to judge her. I just asked her: “do you really like my watch? Isn’t it too big for you?” And she answered: “yes, very much. I don’t really care if it’s too big. Dressed up with your sweater and it matches the style”. That evening, I prepared dinner and we talked a lot about watches. It was one of the most beautiful nights spent together of all. We understood that we share the same passion for time-telling accessories.
I want to tell you that sharing the same passion for timepieces has brought us together even more. What can be more beautiful than when your preferences match your partner’s preferences, especially regarding watches? I truly recommend you to have such dinners during which you get to know each other better. That night, we made up a list including watches that would suit us both. We took into account our styles, tastes, and technical preferences.
Now, I want to share this list with you in case you find it fun when wearing the same watch. And don’t get mad at her when she steals your watch. By doing so, she shows you how much she appreciates your taste. If you haven’t had such an experience so far, give it a try. You will have a lot of fun sharing impressions and opinions. At the same time, you will get much closer to each other and your relationship will know new levels.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Collection
During the discussion, we both realized that we are on the same page with the Art Deco style. It is a style that matches perfectly with our clothing style and with the specifics of our work.
The first model we stopped at were those from the Jaeger-LeCoultre collection. We both love this brand due to its special sense of aesthetics and we were practically sure that we would find something to our liking. The very first made of Reverso line appeared in the 1930s. From then on, the collection introduced various configurations in several iterations. We decided that the classic version with large small seconds hands suits us the best.
The specifics making this watch suitable for couples include, first of all, its proportions. The case has 41.1mm, which might seem pretty large for a lady. But considering its slender thickness and gender-neutral design, the watch looks similarly great on a lady’s wrist. To keep things neutral, we decided on the elegant sunburst finish, as we both have a special sensitivity to elegant things.
On AAAReplica, you will find a wide range of Reverso imitations. It’s up to you AND your partner to decide on the type of leather strap and dial color. The great thing is that the imitation looks highly clean and accurate, from all the angles you look. The Arabic numerals couple greatly with the hour and second hands, making a harmonious duo to make the watch face look expressive. Also, the emblematic and delicate “stairs-like” case architecture framing the watch face makes the watch instantly recognizable. We both stuck to the idea that we will add this replica watch to our common collection to wear on special occasions.
Rolex Datejust 36mm
To be honest, I have never worn a watch smaller than 39mm in my life. But what don’t you do for a woman? Especially for the beloved one? I can’t describe my face when she first suggested I consider a watch smaller than 39mm. My luck (or bad luck?!) is that I have a partner with strong persuasion skills and she made me consider a 36mm version easily. In fact, it wasn’t hard for her to convince me, only because she struck with a Rolex Datejust proposal. And such a watch cannot be missing from the collection. I opted for this particular model for its versatility.
Want a classic spirit? Here you go. Do you want it to be with a touch of sport in it? Here you go. And maybe you also want a surplus of elegance, which never hurts. Here you go again, and all of these aspects are delightfully incorporated into Rolex Datejust 36mm. You are probably already aware that the bracelet of this watch makes all the difference. The legendary Jubilee bracelet catches the attention of even the most ardent Rolex hater.
In the world of replica watches, you will certainly discover thousands of versions of the Rolex Datejust. Here, in our store, you will find quality, flawless operation, and a price to match.
IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar
Our collection was already taking shape with a minimalist and elegant watch (Reverso), and a fabulously attractive one (Datejust). It was time to add something truly heart-breaking, for the occasions when we had to make a statement. It didn’t take long for us to decide that we had to choose something from the IWC collection, especially from the Portugieser line.
Honestly speaking, this time it was me who insisted on this brand. She didn’t really know much about IWC, and it seemed to her that this watch brand didn’t have much to offer for ladies. But that was exactly until she discovered the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar watch.
My partner was amazed by the complexity of this watch. The perpetual calendar that needs adjustment once every 100 years, and the phase of the moon once every 577 years (ie never!) conquered her instantly. In addition, the clean aesthetic, without anything extra, but with everything necessary incorporated in the most subtle form, left her speechless. We didn’t even get to order this watch when she was already imagining what outfit she would match it with. And surprisingly, it turned out that the watch matches perfectly with any type of outfit.
It’s attractive, but not too “loud”. It is prominent but not obtrusive. And it is complicated, but at the same time refined and clean.
The replica version that we found available on the AAAReplica store satisfied us from all points of view. 316l stainless steel case, all active functions including the perpetual calendar and year indication, and a reliable automatic movement. A must-have watch to suit both you and your beloved partner.
Omega Seamaster Edizione Venezia
After adding Portugieser to our virtual collection (it will become real soon), we decided that it is a moral obligation for us to choose something from the Omega collection. We both appreciate this brand and its great ambitions. Sipping read some news together about the latest achievements of the brand regarding the Marstimer release to convince ourselves once again that the brand deserves all our attention.
We discussed the “Omega” chapter for a long time. Initially, we had stopped at the De Ville collection. But we soon failed to find something suitable for both. I was considering the Tourbillon model, but my wife doesn’t really resonate with that type of watch. She, on the other hand, was focusing more on the Constellation collection. But in the end, all the models we both liked were 41mm, which was way too generous for her wrist.
In the end…
We both concluded that the Omega Seamaster Edizione Venezia is the optimal option. Why? Because it is a rare model. And we really wanted something special and exclusive from the Omega spectrum. In addition, the watch comes with a perfect size for us of 39.5 mm. But it was not the size that made us decide in favor of this model. It was more the fact that the watch looks very different on the wrist of a gentleman than on the wrist of a lady. When a man wears this model, it looks somehow within the limits of a dress watch; a silent and very distinguished watch.
On the wrist of a lady instead, it miraculously acquires a strong vintage charisma. And my wife loves vintage. Moreover, we have decided that as soon as we have the necessary financial resources, we will get an authentic Omega Seamaster Edizione Venezia. In the meantime, we are planning to buy a replica that looks no less fabulous than the original. The replicas are usually water resistant up to 20 meters. But this does not bother us at all because we do not plan to wear this watch in water conditions.
On the whole, the replicas look quite decent and the factories managed to perfectly reproduce the vintage specifics of this model.
Cartier Santos Medium
To be honest, I have never worn Cartier watches, even if I quite like this brand. It seems that the time has come for me to get one because my wife is in love with this brand. She has some jewelry from Cartier and would also like a watch. So that we could wear it together, the model that attracted us the most was Cartier Santos. What to say? The collection is extraordinary from all perspectives, starting with the case and ending with the bracelet.
Santos won us over with its square case. All the other watches from our “family collection” had either round or rectangular cases. So a “square” member was welcome in the family. Its specific bracelet with 2 screws on each link makes the watch so practical, that I’m just afraid that we will fight, wanting to wear it every day. The 35 mm seems to be so small at first glance, but I am sure that the square shape will make the watch look presentable and attractive on the wrist. More than that, the Latin numerals on the dial of the watch add a strong classic touch.
Bottom line
These are the 5 watches that will represent our common collection. And it doesn’t bother us at all that the watches are going to be imitations; what matters is that they bring us closer. Once we add these watches to the collection, we will probably have another dinner to determine the next models. As interesting as the process is, it is also romantic. You should try it too!
