Pink Gold Passion: Four Watches For Autumn
Autumn is a special time of the year. This is, in particular, the case when it is an “Indian Summer.” With the colors of the leaves already changing but the weather still warm, it creates a unique atmosphere. The following four watches are perfect for this occasion. While they differ quite a bit, they all share that their cases are made from pink gold, giving them a rich, golden luster.
Grand Seiko
Inspired by the growth rings of trees, is the dial of this Grand Seiko SLGA008 something special. Its brown color gives the watch a rich look, particularly combined with the pink gold case. In terms of style, does the SLGA008 hold the middle ground between dress and sports watch. Inside ticks a Spring Drive movement, giving it a power reserve of 5-days and ensuring a very high degree of precision.
Ulysse Nardin
A tourbillon is a treat in general, but especially when it is a Ulysse Nardin. As a pioneer in silicon, their tourbillons are fitted with different parts made from this material, which are distinctly visible at the watch’s front. They give an extra appeal to an already extraordinary watch, as the pink gold case houses a dial made from black grand feu enamel. It provides the innovative Marine Torpilleur Tourbillon a dash of distinction, perfectly merging past and present.
Parmigiani Fleurier
Parmigiani Fleurier is another brand that knows what to do with the warm luster of pink gold. In the recently introduced Tonda PF, they give it center stage, using it not only for the case but also for the watch’s bracelet. The result is as stunning as refined, matched by a dial with an intricate guilloche motif. Legibility remains key as all the elements of the annual calendar are spaced out perfectly and even include a moon phase indication for both the Northern and the Southern hemispheres.
Jaquet Droz
Merging past and present is one of the hallmarks of Jaquet Droz. With the Grande Seconde Skelet-One Tourbillon, they offer a modern take on a classic concept. The watch’s movement is skeletonized in an almost industrial way, making it very easy to admire all the different gears and other parts. Housed in a pink gold case with a sapphire crystal dial, does this Jaquet Droz have a lot of character. All the more as it is also fitted with a tourbillon, placed at the twelve o’clock position. It is equipped with a silicon balance spring and pallet horns to reduce friction, while the titanium frame keeps the weight down. The finishing touch is the cleverly hidden oscillating weight powering the Grande Seconde Skelet-One Tourbillon, indeed made of pink gold.
