The resurgence of the oversized watch has officially started—and Dua Lipa is fully embracing it.

      Oversized watches are making a comeback. After a period dominated by subtle jewelry watches, I'm once again drawn to timepieces that have both weight and visual impact—both literally and aesthetically. This shift mirrors the instinct displayed by Kylie Jenner in 2016. We’ve come to appreciate the value of subtlety, especially in our personal style, so this resurgence of oversized watches emphasizes a kind of straightforward honesty in proportions. View it as a way to add tension to your everyday attire without drawing excessive attention, introducing a sense of structure to an aspect you might typically overlook. The oversized watch trend isn’t about nostalgia or irony; it’s about enhancing your wardrobe and subtly shifting the discussion surrounding an outfit. Here are the standout timepieces to consider.

      **AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK**

      Dua Lipa, known for her commitment to her yellow gold Cartier Panthère, recently showcased a yellow-gold Royal Oak with a natural turquoise dial in an Instagram post. Released in 2023, this watch is not only stunning but also hard to find. I have a special appreciation for the Royal Oak, as its history ranks among my favorite watch narratives—a lesson in the psychology of luxury and the willingness to take fashion risks over time. Although we recognize the Royal Oak today as one of the most iconic watch designs, its debut in 1972 was just as controversial as it was groundbreaking. A stainless steel watch priced higher than most gold options directly challenged traditional notions of luxury. Given its bold design, which diverged from the popular style of smaller, round, gold dress watches, it didn't enjoy immediate commercial success. Audemars Piguet may be a Swiss brand, but the Royal Oak's initial appeal ignited in Milan—arguably the most fashionable city—where clientele already valued architecture, furniture, and sharp lines. They recognized Audemars Piguet's vision, and that early Italian interest propelled the Royal Oak's success.

      **ROLEX GMT**

      In the early 1950s, intercontinental flights became commonplace, with crews traveling through multiple time zones within one shift. That’s when Pan American World Airways contacted Rolex, seeking a timepiece able to display both their home time zone and local time upon landing. In 1954, Rolex responded with the first GMT-Master, reference 6542, featuring a 24-hour hand and a rotating bezel to showcase both time zones. There’s something appealing about the essence of a tool watch that I find irresistible. It's the implication of purpose, even if that functionality has become irrelevant. This residual practicality lends both substance and structure to an outfit that might otherwise seem overly styled. Now, seventy years later, the modern GMT-Master II remains just as grounded as its predecessor, with much of its original design intact: a rotating bezel, a fourth hand, and graphic two-tone ceramics.

      While great style can stem from a rich life experience, the best styles are those that resonate with the wearer’s true self. You can sense when someone's fashion choices reflect their genuine identity rather than something they're attempting to project. The appeal here lies in authenticity: the value emanates from within, needing no justification. Enter the Speedmaster. Omega launched it in 1957 as a simple chronograph—a mechanical timing watch designed for ease of operation and quick readability. However, Omega’s craftsmanship inherently carries a sense of integrity and quality that stands out without being overly ostentatious. So when NASA, during the 1960s, tested a selection of off-the-shelf chronographs under extreme conditions of heat, cold, shock, vibration, pressure, and vacuum, the Speedmaster was the only one to pass all tests. Consequently, NASA chose this watch for its Gemini and Apollo missions—and the rest is history!

      Greatness arises from having a distinct perspective, and mastery results from focus. In the early 1990s, Jacques Helleu, then Chanel’s artistic director, aimed to create a watch centered around a singular visual concept: deep color, high polish, and
