JEWELLERY & WATCHES
Benedict Bridgerton | Aspiring artist and all round dreamer , Benedict , is the second eldest of the Bridgerton siblings and yearns for something other than the endless society balls he finds himself attending . Benedict dreams of turning his artistic hobby into a fullfledged career , and soon finds himself looking outside of ‘ the ton ’ in order to achieve it . Nowadays Benedict would likely wear something like a Franck Muller Vanguard . A watch brand that has enjoyed its own artistic journey . The Vanguard blends a classic watch case style with modern artistic colours and materials outside the normal canon of watchmaking – a perfect blend of watchmaking and artistry . How perfectly Benedict . FRANCK MULLER VANGUARD
Colin Bridgerton | The witty and charming Bridgerton brother , Colin , may well have taken a liking to the newest young lady in town but his heart belongs to travel . A Patek Philippe World Time is the obvious watch choice for this aspiring globetrotter – one of the signature complications from the Maison and much sought after by travellers around the world . The World Time allows the wearer to track the local time of 24 capital cities simultaneously , whilst still being quintessentially elegant – much like any other Patek Philippe . It ’ s the indispensable sidekick for any would be grand tourist . PATEK PHILIPPE WORLD TIME
Daphne Bridgerton | The picture-perfect young debutante who packs a punch ! Daphne has been waiting her entire life to make her grand debut on the marriage mart and does so with such aplomb that she is named the diamond of the first water . But there is more to Daphne than meets the eye – beautiful and demure on the outside but Daphne is also smart and determined and strives for absolute
perfection … Much like the bejewelled work of the Piaget Altiplano which carries a complex manual movement encased within an exquisite case of white gold and diamonds . PIAGET ALTIPLANO
Eloise Bridgerton | Certainly the most vocal of the Bridgerton household , Eloise is not one for pomp nor ceremony . Having no interest in following in the footsteps of her sister Daphne , she has an incurable sense of curiosity , a lust for education and has little time for the restrictive gender roles of the period . Eloise would be perfectly paired with a Grand Seiko - a Japanese brand known for throwing two fingers up at the rest of the watch world in the 70 ’ s when it fundamentally changed the status quo of the watch industry by introducing new and progressive technology that left many of its peers at the wayside . And whilst this titanium 43.5 MM is technically classified as a men ’ s watch … who is Eloise to be restricted by convention ?! GRAND SEIKO SPRING DRIVE
THE FEATHERINGTONS
Lady Portia Featherington | For Lady Featherington it ’ s all about show . From the brightest dresses to the tightest corsets , Lady Portia Featherington is entirely focused on keeping up with the Joneses and wearing her wealth and style ( read : poor credit and broken promises ) for the whole world to see ! The Hublot diamond set Classic Fusion would be an obvious go-to for posey Portia , given its confident , unrelenting and flashy nature , this diamond encrusted device has the natural born will to dazzle all those who look upon it . HUBLOT CLASSIC FUSION
PATEK PHILIPPE WORLD TIME PIAGET ALTIPLANO
