Fall and Forever: 5 Watch Styles Worthy of Every Season

As the first tendrils of autumn begin to unfurl, we welcome cooler days and longer nights, crisp mornings and changing foliage. Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer, and as we transition back into the routines and structure of fall, we celebrate the beginning of a favorite season. Fall signifies a chapter of leaving the old behind, as leaves turn from goldenrod to russet and then float down to the ground. Yet it is also a season of new beginnings, of preparation, of embracing change and evolution.

With autumn comes the ramp-up to the holiday season, as Halloween costumes are sewn, children begin drafting their Hanukkah and Christmas lists, and Thanksgiving menus are planned and then solidified. But between the golden hours of late summer and the eager thrum of the holidays lies a season of warm spices, cozy sweaters, and laidback evenings. We ought not overlook the joy of fall itself while we celebrate what came before and anticipate the next season. Autumn deserves the spotlight in its own right.

When you ready your fall wardrobe this year, do not forget to consider the accessories you will need to strike the perfect balance of timeless sophistication and autumnal warmth. A truly exceptional luxury timepiece is the best way to convey your taste, elegance, and class in one fell swoop. At Avi & Co., we have a curated selection of the most elite watch brands from around the globe. Whether you prefer a dash of outdoorsy ruggedness or a dose of clean-cut refinement, we have upscale timepieces for every fashion palette.

Our expert team has put together this compilation of five stunning timepieces that we think are perfect for your autumn lookbook. Best of all, these selections transcend seasonality, offering timeless options that are worthy of wear during any season of the year. We have showcased nods to some of this year’s favorite fall trends as well as endlessly elegant options that go above and beyond the fleeting footprints of fast fashion. The only question remaining is, which watch will go home on your wrist?

Although autumn trends change from year to year, there are some overarching hallmarks of fall fashion that stand out: warm tones, inviting textures, and rich colors. Here are some of this year’s variations on these themes that you might just want to reflect in your wristwear.

Royal Purple: Some fall colors simply never go out of style, and saturated jewel tones are back and better than ever. In addition to classic autumnal shades like burgundy and olive green, rich royal purple is a welcome find in this year’s runway inspiration. Brands like Loewe, Celine, Balenciaga, and Tory Burch have integrated this shade into their Fashion Week looks, and we are loving it as an accent for luxury watches as well.

Intentional Details: The days of quiet luxury dominating are officially in the past, as the fashion world shifts back to memorable and maximalist looks. Even still, intentional details allow you to showcase the thought and consideration behind your style without going too overboard. On the runway, we saw this in jewelry, belts, and hats. On your wrist, embrace subtle expressions of personality like moon phase displays, diamond bezels, and unique tourbillon engineering.

Retro Wall Street: While last fall trended toward romantic silhouettes full of lace and flowy silhouettes, this year has proven that autumn tailoring is back. We see retro cuts with over-emphasized shoulders and miniscule waists, evoking the ‘80s and ‘90s on Wall Street. Business casual is not so casual this season, and we love the sharp and sexy suiting that has taken over Fashion Weeks across the globe.

Bold Colorways: Memorable and unexpected colors are standing out on the runways this year, but they are not alone. In fact, some designers appear to be embracing a “split personality,” according to Who What Wear. Not only are bold colors appearing left and right, but they are paired with other, equally striking shades. We double dare you to double up on punchy hues.

Equestrian Motifs: The Year of the Horse, ushered in this February according to the Chinese lunar calendar, has made an impact on the runway, too. Equestrian details are everywhere, from riding boots to chaps and leather accents across the board. Preppy fashion and ‘80s tailoring trends have underscored this movement, which toes the line between New England boarding school and an Old West resurgence. Different designers have made their marks in this category, from Ralph Lauren to Hermes to Stella McCartney.

Fashion trends might change year after year, but your own sense of style and taste holds true. Every autumn, we gravitate toward timeless styles that nod at this year’s trends without going too far into the morass of fast fashion. This year, our experts have curated an impressive collection of five standout timepieces that you will not soon forget.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus line is a hallowed classic in the world of luxury horology, and it deserves a place of honor in any watch box. This exquisite twist on the original stainless steel sports watch embraces a few different trends that we are seeing this fall. First, and perhaps most obvious, is the bold purple dial. This warm and inviting shade of rich, royal purple stands out against a case and bracelet crafted from exquisite 18K rose gold. Around the watch’s bezel, a fleet of diamonds encircles the porthole-shaped face. A small date window at the 3 o’clock position adds highly desirable functionality and refinement.

Furthermore, the petite yet powerful 32 mm silhouette of this timepiece exemplifies the movement toward miniature watches that has been dominant over the past couple of years. For both men and women, watch case sizes are skewing smaller and smaller, making this bold Patek Philippe watch perfect for wearers of either gender. This fall, do not miss out on your chance to make a lasting statement with this impeccable example of Swiss craftsmanship.

Nothing says vintage Wall Street quite like a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, the iconic entry-level timepiece that is a favorite of stockbrokers and investment bankers throughout Manhattan’s financial district. Pair this iconic timepiece with Patrick Bateman pinstripes and other nods to Wall Street’s golden age, and you have a failsafe option for a fall look. The Oyster Perpetual is a truly iconic Rolex line, and the rich black dial on this 41 mm timepiece is the perfect contrast to the luminous stainless steel construction. That said, this line offers a wide selection of dial colors, making it easy to infuse a dash of personality into your favorite piece of wristwear.

The death of minimalism is upon us, and this gorgeous miniature Iced Collection watch from Avi & Co. epitomizes that cultural transition. Highlighting the movement toward miniature watch sizes without compromising on glamour, this impeccable timepiece is the perfect example of prioritizing intentional details and meticulous gem-setting. Baguette-cut diamonds cover virtually every visible surface of this watch, while exposed sides allow the warmth of the 18K rose gold bracelet to shine, highlighting a classic autumnal tone. This limited edition release is a cannot miss addition to any savvy collector’s watch box, and it is ideal for wearers of any gender.

The Richard Mille RM 011 collection is one of the brand’s most collectible lines of all time. Created in collaboration with Brazilian Formula One driver and motorsports star Felipe Massa, these watches showcase the very best of Richard Mille. Here, you will see an impressive automatic flyback chronograph function encased in a luxurious 18K rose gold case. The skeletonized dial allows the wearer an inside look at the precise engineering that powers this legendary timepiece. With just 30 pieces created across the globe, the RM 011 “Red Kite” edition is a truly valuable collector’s item that embraces this fall’s ethos of attention to detail combined with the endless appeal of bold colorways in classic autumn shades.

We have always appreciated the somewhat rugged silhouette of the octagonal Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, but switching up this version with a leather strap ups the ante on Old West appeal. For those trying to channel the timeless equestrian aesthetic this fall, this exquisite timepiece might just connect with your inner cowboy. The 18K rose gold watch has a distinctly vintage 39 mm silhouette and plenty of complications, including a dual time zone display and a power reserve aperture. You will also find a date display and a day/night indicator for the second time zone. For those who are always looking ahead to their next adventure, this prestigious timepiece combines modern functionality with rugged aesthetic appeal. This is autumn in a nutshell.
