The resurgence of the oversized watch has officially started, and Dua Lipa is fully on board.

      Oversized watches are making a comeback. After a period dominated by delicate jewelry watches, I'm once again drawn to timepieces that have substantial weight, both literally and visually. This trend mirrors the instinct Kylie Jenner demonstrated back in 2016. We've come to appreciate subtlety in fashion, particularly in our attire, so this resurgence of the oversized watch embodies a straightforward honesty in proportions. It adds a layer of tension to your everyday look without demanding attention, introducing a structural element to areas typically overlooked. The oversized watch is not about nostalgia or irony; it’s about enhancing your wardrobe and shifting the narrative of an outfit in a subtle yet significant manner. Here are some standout watches to consider.

      **AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK**

      Dua Lipa, known for her loyalty to her yellow gold Cartier Panthère, recently featured a yellow-gold Royal Oak with a natural turquoise dial in an Instagram photo. This stunning timepiece was launched by Audemars Piguet in 2023 and is both exquisite and hard to come by. I hold the Royal Oak in high regard, with its fascinating history being one of my favorite watch narratives—a true example of luxury psychology and fashion daring over the years. Today, the Royal Oak is recognized as one of the most iconic watch designs, but it was quite the gamble when it was introduced in 1972. A stainless steel watch priced higher than most gold equivalents challenged the conventional concepts of luxury. Given its striking design that departed from the popular small, round, gold dress watches of the time, it didn't achieve immediate commercial success. Though Audemars Piguet is a Swiss brand, the Royal Oak's popularity began in Milan—arguably the most stylish city—where people appreciated strong lines in architecture and furniture. They grasped Audemars Piguet's vision, and that early Italian interest propelled the Royal Oak's success.

      **ROLEX GMT**

      In the early 1950s, intercontinental flights became a regular part of commercial travel, with flight crews traversing multiple time zones in one shift. Pan American World Airways approached Rolex to develop a watch that could display both their base time and local time upon arrival. In 1954, Rolex answered with the first GMT-Master, reference 6542, featuring a 24-hour hand and a rotating bezel for tracking both time zones. There's something about the structure of a tool watch that captivates me, suggesting functionality, even if that function has become irrelevant. This trace of utility lends both depth and form to an outfit that might otherwise feel overly designed. Seventy years later, the modern GMT-Master II remains just as robust as its predecessor, preserving nearly all of the original features: a rotating bezel, an additional hand, and distinctive two-tone ceramics.

      **OMEGA SPEEDMASTER**

      Great style often emerges from a rich life, but the best style reflects an internal alignment. You can sense when someone’s fashion choices resonate with their true self rather than a fabricated image. This authenticity is appealing, as the value comes from within without the need for justification. Enter the Speedmaster. Omega launched it in 1957 as a straightforward chronograph—a mechanical timing watch meant for easy operation and quick reading. Yet, Omega's craftsmanship always carries an inherent integrity that speaks volumes without being ostentatious. In the 1960s, NASA purchased a selection of standard chronographs and subjected them to extreme tests of heat, cold, shock, vibration, pressure, and vacuum; the Speedmaster was the only one to pass all tests. Subsequently, NASA chose it for its Gemini and Apollo missions—making history in the process!

      **CHANEL J12**

      Greatness stems from having a clear perspective, while mastery is the result of dedication. In the early 1990s, Chanel’s then-artistic director, Jacques Helleu, aimed to create a watch centered around a singular visual concept: deep color, high polish, and smooth continuity. Ceramic was the sole material that could realize this vision, leading to the birth of the Chanel J12 in 2000. What I admire about the J12 is
