Timepieces in autumn shades

by Laëtitia Cadiou


As leaves turn golden and copper, watches follow the rhythm of the season. Brown, deep green, burgundy or rose gold – sporty yet refined timepieces dress up in warmth and elegance to live the autumn in style.


The season of warm tones and golden reflections


Between tan leather, chocolate dials and golden cases, this season’s watches invite us to slow down and savour time. They evoke nature, soft light and the timeless sophistication of noble materials. Brands are embracing earthy tones and forest-inspired hues:
Cognac brown and rose gold for a luxurious, sensual touch.
Forest green and burgundy for depth and character.
Caramel and amber for the softness of leather and the warmth of wood.
