RED & ROSE: THE COLOUR OF LOVE

Luxury watch brands have also adopted this colour palette into their timepieces. Whether it be in the colour of the straps, the materials used such as rose gold, or the colour of the dial. Used in varying degrees of dominance and executed in several different ways, it broadens their appeal to a wide audience of watch enthusiasts. You may be seeking a gift for a loved one, a watch to reflect your daring outlook on life, a warm and loving personality, or even to add to a collection and complement your wardrobe and style. Sometimes there is no rhyme nor reason – many just fall in love with a timepiece, just because.

COLOUR AND ITS APPLICATION

A timepiece can look strikingly different dependent upon the application of the colour and consequently a single shade of red or rose can take on many personalities. Some leather watch straps, for instance, have a textured or grainy appearance and others have no texture at all and a completely smooth or shiny surface. Dials can have a flat appearance such as those made using gilt or lacquer, and a dial with greater depth such as a tapisserie or guilloche dial will present colour in an entirely different way again.

Of course, red and rose colours are not exclusive to straps and dials and are also present in the metals used to craft watch cases, bracelets and more. Generally referred to as rose gold, pink gold and red gold, their application is often as part of a mixed metal or mixed material timepiece and their tonal variations are dependent upon the mix of gold, copper, and zinc. Only you can determine your personal choice so you may wish to visit one of our showrooms to view the watch in person.
