The Most Iconic Moments in Watchmaking History A luxury timepiece is more than a way to tell time—it’s a symbol of precision, craftsmanship, and heritage. Over the decades, some of the world’s most prestigious watch brands have been part of history, worn by explorers, military divers, and industry titans, or have set new standards in haute horology. These legendary watches not only defined their respective brands but also shaped the entire watchmaking industry. From scaling the highest peaks to making history in space, certain timepieces have played a pivotal role in defining moments that continue to shape the watchmaking world. Whether on the wrists of legendary explorers, pioneering astronauts, or world leaders, these watches have become icons in their own right, cementing their place in history through innovation, endurance, and timeless design. Patek Philippe – The Henry Graves Supercomplication (1933) When American banker Henry Graves Jr. commissioned Patek Philippe to create the most complicated timepiece of its era, he set off a rivalry among watch collectors. The result? The Henry Graves Supercomplication, a 24-complication pocket watch that took eight years to design and manufacture. This masterpiece of horology was a triumph of Swiss craftsmanship and technical innovation. In 2014, it set a world record at auction, selling for $24 million, making it one of the most expensive watches ever sold. Patek Philippe’s dedication to precision, complexity, and elegance has made it one of the most revered names in haute horology. Tudor – Issued to the French Navy (1950s-1980s) In the mid-20th century, the French Navy (Marine Nationale) needed a rugged, reliable dive watch for its elite divers and underwater commandos. They turned to Tudor, known for its exceptional quality and durability at a more accessible price point, making it ideal for large-scale issuance. The Tudor Submariner became the watch of choice for the Marine Nationale from the 1950s to the 1980s, praised for its durability, accuracy, and affordability. These military-issued Tudors became highly sought-after collector’s items, inspiring the modern Tudor Pelagos FXD, a watch designed for professional divers and military operations. Glashütte Original – Rebirth After the Fall of the Berlin Wall (1994) The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked a turning point not just in world history but also in German watchmaking. For decades, Glashütte Original, along with other watchmakers in East Germany, had been part of a state-run collective known as Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB). In 1994, after German reunification, Glashütte Original was privatized, returning to its roots as a high-end manufacturer of luxury timepieces. Today, it stands as a testament to resilience, craftsmanship, and innovation, blending traditional Saxon watchmaking techniques with modern precision. Blancpain – The Birth of the Modern Dive Watch (1953) Blancpain revolutionized the watch industry in 1953 with the creation of the Fifty Fathoms, one of the first modern dive watches. Developed in collaboration with the French Navy’s “Nageurs de Combat” (Combat Swimmers), it was designed to withstand the pressures of deep-sea diving while remaining highly legible underwater. The Fifty Fathoms set the standard for all future dive watches. Even today, Blancpain remains at the forefront of dive watch innovation, with modern Fifty Fathoms models continuing to impress collectors and professionals alike. Laurent Ferrier – The Independent Watchmaker’s Breakthrough (2010) Laurent Ferrier may not have the centuries-old history of some other brands, but his breakthrough moment in 2010 cemented his place among watchmaking greats. At the 2010 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), Ferrier unveiled the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral, a watch that showcased a double-hairspring tourbillon, an innovation that drastically improved accuracy. As a former Patek Philippe watchmaker, Ferrier brought decades of expertise to his independent brand, blending classical aesthetics with technical mastery. His watches, though relatively new to the market, are now considered among the finest examples of independent haute horology. A Legacy of Excellence These legendary moments showcase how luxury watches are more than just timekeepers—they are symbols of human achievement, innovation, and endurance. Each of these timepieces tells a story, making them coveted treasures for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Let’s explore how to choose the perfect gemstones to complement your hair color, so you can create looks that are not only striking but truly unforgettable. Brunettes Shine with Luxurious Contrasts and Vibrant Accents Brunette hair, with its deep and rich tones, pairs beautifully with luminous gemstones that create contrast. Pearls and diamonds bring a radiant softness, while rubies and turquoises add vivid color accents to highlight your complexion. For a warm, everyday look, topazes in honey-yellow or Madeira wine hues add magic. Piece Recommendation: Enhance your style with the deBoulle High Jewelry Collection Ruby and Diamond Earrings—a brilliant combination that accentuates brunette tones with a vibrant pop of red and a touch of sparkle. Tip: Avoid gemstones with overly dark undertones, like garnets or deep amethysts, unless offset with lighter accents. Black Hair + Bold Sophistication Black hair creates a dramatic backdrop for gemstones that radiate bold, vivid hues. Tanzanite, with its rich blue-violet color, is an exceptional choice for those seeking a sophisticated and luxurious look. Its vibrant tones provide a stunning contrast to the deep shine of black hair, making it an ideal gemstone for creating unforgettable, elegant statements. For those with brown eyes, the cool brilliance of tanzanite enhances natural warmth, while diamonds or sapphire accents lend a touch of timeless refinement. Piece Recommendation: The deBoulle Collection Tanzanite Drop Earrings are a perfect match for black hair, showcasing the vibrant depth of tanzanite complemented by a delicate white gold setting. These earrings balance boldness with refinement, elevating your look for both formal occasions and everyday luxury. Tip: For added drama, pair tanzanite with diamonds or pearls to achieve a glamorous, multi-dimensional effect that enhances your natural beauty. Redheads Deserve Fiery Elegance Red hair’s rich, fiery hues and fair complexions are beautifully complemented by greens and blues that bring out their natural vibrancy. Emeralds, sapphires, and jade enhance the brilliance of red hair, while soft lilac or deep purple amethysts add a touch of romantic allure. For the best effect, avoid earthy tones like yellow or brown, as they may compete with your warm coloring. Piece Recommendation: Embrace your bold beauty with the deBoulle High Jewelry Collection Heart Shaped Earrings. Featuring exquisite heart-shaped diamonds in a delicate white gold setting, these earrings are a captivating statement of luxury. Their sparkling brilliance perfectly complements red hair, enhancing its fiery elegance with timeless sophistication. Tip: Choose light-colored metals like platinum or white gold to allow the gemstones to shine. Blondes Complement with Radiance  Blonde hair’s natural luminosity pairs beautifully with gemstones that enhance its radiance. Aquamarines, rubies, and topazes create a vibrant glow, while deep sapphires provide an eye-catching contrast. Pearls in soft cream or pink tones offer timeless sophistication, and diamonds remain an evergreen choice for adding regal charm. Piece Recommendation: Elevate your golden locks with the deBoulle Estate Collection Fancy Sapphire Necklace. This stunning piece features a spectrum of sapphires in a luxurious design, making it the perfect choice to enhance your radiant beauty with an artistic and colorful touch. Tip: Skip plain metallic designs and choose pieces with vivid gemstone accents to add depth and brilliance to your look. Grey and Silver Hair = Timeless Beauty Grey and silver hair radiate sophistication and grace, creating an ideal canvas for gemstones and symbols that embody timeless elegance. Among these, the snake motif stands out as a powerful symbol of transformation, eternity, and resilience—qualities that align beautifully with the confidence and poise of those who embrace their silver strands. From Cleopatra and Elizabeth Taylor to contemporary style icons like Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift, the serpent motif has remained a beloved emblem of enduring allure. To elevate this refined look, diamonds, amethysts, and sapphires offer classic sophistication, while turquoise brings a touch of playful vibrancy. For those seeking a striking contrast, the warm tones of Madeira topaz provide a radiant complement to lighter complexions. Piece Recommendation: Embrace the symbolism of transformation and elegance with the deBoulle Collection Snake Hoop Earrings in Yellow Gold. These exquisite hoops merge classic design with bold artistry, celebrating the timeless allure of the snake in a piece that perfectly enhances the cool tones of grey or silver hair.
