More and more, I find myself buying clothes to match my watch collection.
I remember how I used to slap on a pair of jeans and a T without giving any thought to how I looked and walking out the door. Now I am quite conscious as to which watch I pair my wardrobe with.
How did I end up like this?!
Here are some of my favourite pairings to work:
Dark red shirt, yellow patterned tie, beige trousers, Bally shoes paired with Bvlgari Calibro 303.
I like how the bronze coloured minute and hour chronograph dials warm the dial up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the same combo but with the PP Aquanaut.
This combo gives it a warmer, casual-formal touch, doesn't it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orange shirt, Vivian Westwood tie, beige trousers, light brown Gucci's paired with Bvlgari Calibro 303 / PP Aquanaut / AP Royal Oak in white.
I do admit the Aquanaut may be a bit too much in this combination. The white Royal Oak is probably a better choice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black shirt, light coloured Gucci tie, beige trousers, black calf leather a. testoni monk straps paired with Rolex GMT Master II / Bvlgari Calibro 303 / AP Royal Oak in white / PP Nautilus Moonphase.
I usually go with either the Nautilus or the white Royal Oak in this scenario.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For weekend wear, I've got a bit more choices:
My beloved Audemars Piguet QE II Cup polo shirt, jeans, LV two tone leather sneakers paired with a PP Aquanaut.
Tried on the Tantalum QE IIā¦and promptly returned it! I much prefer something light, much lighter, like the PP Aquanaut.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
White cotton shirt, rolled up at sleeves, jeans, black alligator Prada loafers paired with AP Navy ROO / PP Nautilus Moonphase.
A classic combo. Comfortable and smart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T-shirt and button down shirt both by Armani Collezioni, jeans paired with AP Navy ROO.
Nice but I feel like a walking Armani billboard sometimes...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loose fitting linen shirt and trousers, brown Artioli loafers paired with PP Aquanaut.
Perfect for humid Hong Kong weather.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soft cashmere long sleeved shirt by Cerruti 1881, jeans, paired with PP Nautilus Moonphase
Wish I had more opportunity to wear this combo more often.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, this is one of my favourite all time combos:
Tight Armani Exchange navy blue T-shirt, jeans, Gucci sneakers paired with AP Navy ROO.
I just love how the white strip is continued from the collar and down the length of the T-shirt to be continued onto the sneakers. The ROO Navy is a perfect match as it continues this blue and white theme.

Now I need some help pairing a purple shirt, yellow tie and dress shoes with a watch. Any suggestions?
