The Zodiac and Watches

Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

You like speed? Good. Time measurement is a science which keeps watchmakers very busy. You can find a host of beautiful instruments with the companies aiming at mastering the production of this mechanism. You should purchase watches certified by COSC, a Swiss non-profit organization which tests chronometers and rates them by several criteria, including exactness. It is most likely that you will be glad to try a Carrera or a Monaco by TAG Heuer, a brand known for its partnering with sporting events, especially motor racing. It is a TAG Heuer model that Steve Mc Queen chose to wear in the film Le Mans. You may also consider Omega, an Olympic Games sponsor. Its Speedmaster, the first timepiece which travelled to the moon, remains a safe bet.

Taurus, Taurus rising, Venus dominant, or strong 2nd House

Among the main watch characteristics you appreciate, let us mention those belonging to tradition. You have a preference for luxurious models which conjure up pocket watches with vintage details such as for instance a big crown. You can find them at Breguet, with a fluted case and a guilloché dial, after the drawings by this great manufacturer of the end of the 18th century, who is still admired by the entire industry. Another suggestion. Have a look at Blancpain, a classical but modernised brand which partners with upmarket gastronomy. This may appeal to you, since you are a gourmand. Indeed, there are many common aspects between these two disciplines: attention to details and precision are blended and result in the sensual fulfilment of the end customer.

Colourful, unpretentious, and convenient, it has caused long queues in front of its shops and stirred the collectors' interest at some point. Nowadays, new amusing Swatch models are available. You are fond of watches with interchangeable wristbands, or those aiming at humour and impertinence like Louis Pion. However, you are also interested in luxurious brands. The Reverso by Jaeger LeCoultre is perfect for you. Initially devised to prevent polo players from damaging it, this timepiece has an ingenious system allowing the wearer to turn the case towards the wrist in order to protect the dial.
