So, you’ve fallen in love with a dress, moodboarded your wedding make-up, and played Cinderella with bridal shoes – the next step in completing your outfit for the big day? Accessories. Though choosing bridal jewellery may be your first stop in self-adornment, a beautiful timepiece can be the icing on the cake – and one to be selected with care. Here are five spectacular ways to go.

Something old, something new, something borrowed... If you’re dedicated to fulfilling wedding-day superstition, why not let your timepiece complete the proverb? Romantic in name and design, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Rendez-Vous Dazzling Moon watch features a diamond-studded bezel and intricate moonphase aperture that echoes the deep blue of its leather strap.

These his-and-hers Patrimony watches from Vacheron Constantin make the perfect pair – much like the two of you. Characterised by their elegant 1950s-inspired design and interchangeable leather straps, each one features a slender, convex dial backed by the sophisticated self-winding mechanical movement that keeps its hands ticking.
BEST FOR
If you’re going for a traditional all-white wedding look, you may wish to extend the scheme to your accessories. The delicately proportioned CHANEL Première is a watch that’ll add effortless elegance to any bridal ensemble, thanks to its pearlescent dial trimmed with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds and a dainty bracelet inlaid with white ceramic.
BEST FOR
Perhaps you’re looking for an investment that extends beyond the day itself – indeed, many truly timeless watches suit the elegance of the occasion as well as the everyday. The 18-karat yellow gold Panthère de Cartier looks equally at home with a bridal gown as it does with jeans and a blazer, thanks to its iconic square face, screwed-down bezel and sleek brick-lay link bracelet.
