Jang Won-young and Jennie: Balancing Glamour With Casual Pieces
The Bvlgari Serpenti collection has always carried a mature, sensual image. But Jang Won-young chose the Serpenti Seduttori watch, with its drop-shaped case and glossy scale-like bracelet, and paired it with a crisp white set. The styling perfectly softens the jewelry watch’s sharp edge, making her look both elegant and capable.
On Jennie’s wrist is the classic Chanel Première watch, an octagonal case design most people are already familiar with. She chose the Première Galon with its rigid cuff, pairing a deep black lacquer dial with 18K yellow gold. Her styling is incredibly simple: a sleek black tank top and gray jeans. No glamorous dress is needed—this watch alone carries the weight of the entire look.
Jisoo and Kim Tae-ri: The Watch as the Main Character
Girls who love wearing all black can look to Jisoo for inspiration. Wearing a black set, the Cartier Crash on her wrist becomes the most eye-catching focal point of her outfit. Launched in 1967, its asymmetrical case looks as if it were distorted by an external force. It feels like a surrealist work of art—wearing it means you don’t need any other accessories.
Kim Tae-ri demonstrates how to create a refreshing highlight. She wears a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36, pairing a cool green dial with a sturdy stainless steel bracelet. Funnily enough, she deliberately wore a green knit beanie to echo the dial’s color. This simple tonal trick looks lively and approachable.
The Everyday Side of Classic Designs
Beyond these stars, looking at Song Hye-kyo pairing a casual striped top with the masculine Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, or Lisa wearing a simple black tank to match a Cartier La Californienne Tank, shows the everyday side of these luxury watches. It turns out that buying a classic watch doesn’t mean you have to wait for a big occasion to wear it. Just imagining styling them with your regular wardrobe is enough motivation to start saving up.
