Here’s our easy guide to finding the best luxury watch that resonates with your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Personality Traits: Bold. Courageous. Assertive. Dominating. A born visionary. Risk-taker.

As a fiery Aries, you’re well-suited to ostentatious luxury watches that set a solid first impression. Your extroverted personality matches well with a royal Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date timepiece in 18ct yellow gold that you’re sure to carry with poise. This prestigious piece made its debut in 1956 as the first waterproof and self-winding chronometer wristwatch to feature a modern calendar. Today, it symbolizes the epitome of luxury.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Personality Traits: Trustworthy. Loyal. Determined. Reliable. Patient. Stubborn.

Ruled by element Earth, Taureans are well grounded in reality. You appreciate beauty and you love indulging in luxury—but your approach is more practical than whimsical. Your solid and stable energy goes well with a classic Chopard L.U.C XPS timepiece. Features a brown alligator leather strap, 18ct rose gold crown, and a self-winding mechanical movement. The minimal and old-fashioned appeal it gives off perfectly matches your zodiac sign’s vibe.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Personality Traits: Strong communicator. Witty. Imaginative. Twin personality. Adaptable. Sociable.

As a Gemini, you are a charismatic personality with a huge social group that you probably love showing off to. Your dual nature gives you an open-mindedness that allows you to swing from one side of the spectrum to another. A polarity like this is what you should seek in your luxury watch—a modern style entrenched with traditional roots that run deep.

Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Concept special edition timepiece will make a fine addition to your collection. Made with ultra-modern technical precision, the self-winding tourbillon chronograph comes with a high-tech openworked dial and a black rubber strap.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Personality Traits: Empathetic. Emotional. Devoted. Protective. Caring. Giving.

As a Cancerian, you are deeply emotional and intuitive. You love all things sentimental, and your nurturing nature is appreciated by everyone around you. Not only are you a collector of memories, but also possessions. You probably have a classic vintage watch passed down in your family that you cherish. If you don’t, it’s time you invest in one! One of the best vintage watches for collectors is the three-hand Omegas, especially the early Seamasters. Its sophisticated design and slim case makes it the perfect dress watch.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Personality Traits: Born leaders. Faithful. Charitable. Adventurous. Ambitious. Confident. Extroverted.

Leos are not afraid to shine, and your luxury watch will definitely reflect that elegant vibe. You love being around people, and people love your easy charm. That’s why a timepiece like the iconic Pasha de Cartier that exudes power will be the best match for your wrist. Featuring an 18ct white gold case, mechanical movement with manual winding, and a buckle set with 180 brilliant-cut diamonds, this distinctive watch will stand out as boldly as your personality.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Personality Traits: Practical. Cautious. Intelligent. Trust-worthy. Reliable. Highly critical. Perfectionist.

Virgos are a stickler for order and organization; your home and work life reflect that. Your approach to life is realistic, and this practicality seeps in everything you do. When it comes to buying a luxury watch, your cautious nature won’t allow you to burn a hole in your pocket, so you’ll opt for a reliable brand that produces timeless watches you can wear forever. We’re talking about Ulysse Nardin, of course. The Classico Manufacture is a great pared-down design with a self-winding mechanism, a black dial, and a steel strap that’ll blend with all your outfits.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Personality Traits: Balanced. Indecisive. Just. Ethical. Idealist. Hospitable. Diplomatic.

A Libra is drawn to beauty and art and your choice of luxury watch will reflect that aesthetic. Your calm and balanced demeanour compliments a timepiece like Vacheron Constantin’s Métiers d’Art Copernicus Celestial Spheres 2460 RT in 18ct white gold that uses decorative watchmaking techniques to handcraft a work of art. The watch borrows inspiration from an astronomer’s chart and shows the Earth’s orbit around the Sun as well as on itself. Did we mention the dial is hand-painted?

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Personality Traits: Passionate lovers. Mysterious. Secretive. Creative. Dynamic. Problem-solvers.

Every Scorpion is enamoured by mystery, and their personality is as enigmatic as they make it seem. That’s why your choice of luxury watch will be as dynamic as you. Patek Philippe’s collection of grand complication watches will be your go-to, and this 5303R model best matches your style. Its open architecture allows you to observe (read: admire) its minute mechanical movement in operation as you wear it.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Personality Traits: Independent. Optimistic. Self-critical. Adventurous. Enthusiastic.

A Sagittarius can be recognized by their sociable nature. You love exploring, even if it means you’re doing it solo. This independent trait demands originality in a luxury watch; classic and traditional timepieces simply don’t cut it for you. Hublot’s newest drop, the Big Bang E Premier League timepiece, is right up your alley. A fusion between tradition and digital technology, this sophisticated and extremely complicated watch features intricate watchmaking techniques the Swiss brand is famous for.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Personality Traits: Responsible. Grounded. Ambitious. Hard-worker. Wise. Confident.

As a Capricorn, your independent personality could make you seem extremely private, and you may prefer your own company. Your grounded approach recognizes life’s challenges, which is why you won’t find yourself splurging on a luxury watch. You’d be happier with a conventional timepiece that’s a classic, but not too boring. We’re thinking of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso Classic Monoface watch. Renowned for its Art Deco lines, the watch comes with a reversible back which can bear a secret engraving!

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Personality Traits: New-age thinker. Intellectual. Innovative. Humanitarian. Honest. Loyal.

An Aquarius lives to challenge the status quo, and your choice of luxury watch will reflect that unconventional vibe. Given your eclectic taste, the complexities of the Ressence Type 3 watch will strike a chord with you. Its innovative style is devoid of a crown, with the sapphire case-back reengineered to be the means of winding and setting the dial. It tells time in an interactive manner, with the traditional hands replaced with rotating discs. What’s more, it only weighs 79 grams!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Personality Traits: Compassionate. Sympathetic. Dreamy. Imaginative. Adaptable. Spiritual.

Every Piscean’s rose-tinted glasses will most likely skim over the price tag of a luxury watch, but the reason you invest in it will be purely creative. Since you are ruled by the element of water, it makes perfect sense that you have a reflection of the ocean on your wrist. IWC Schaffhausen’s Aquatimer Chronograph Edition “Laureus Sport for Good” is the OG diver’s watch with a water-resistant level up to 300 metres. The 89000-calibre watch also includes powerful chronograph movements with a flyback function.
