Round-UpA Starry Alignment: Wristwatches For Your Zodiac Sign

Ever wondered why we get along exceptionally well with someone belonging to a zodiac sign that’s ‘supposedly’ compatible with ours; or how we’re able to guess someone’s star sign by simply observing a few habits or certain personality traits? While we are not in favour of stereotyping people here, one cannot entirely shun the science behind astrology—the study of stars and planets, and how these heavenly bodies influence our lives, shape our behaviours, nurture temperaments or simply help us zero in on our likes and dislikes. Now you might be a little confused and feel that we have derailed from being horological hounds, and are probably dabbling in a new-found interest. But let me assure you that is certainly not the case. Traditionally, astrology operates on two key factors—planets and their placement in our astral charts at the time of our birth. So, time is of essence here! Therefore, by using the exact date, place, and time of birth, astrologers are able to make accurate as well as indicative readings, which are well-informed and based on calculations, and are not just a figment of their imagination. Since the zodiac wheel has an undeniable effect on our being, it definitely comes into play, dictating our choice of timekeepers—which are in sync with our innate disposition. The Watch Guide breaks it down for you when it comes to choosing a wrist companion that’s probably written in the stars based on your zodiac. If you are inclined to relate with commonly-known personality traits of your zodiac sign, then this should be particularly useful to you. If not, just have a look and see if the watches we’ve picked for your sign are the kind of timepieces that would resonate with you.

Aries (The Ram): March 21–April 19

Impulsive, bold and ambitious, Aries are not afraid to dive headfirst even into the most challenging situations as symbolised by the ram. After all, their ruling planet is Mars—also known as the ‘God of War’ in ancient Roman mythology. They are ruled by the fire element, which makes them feisty, and it also symbolises passion, aggression, and a never-say-die attitude. Most people belonging to this sun sign are natural-born leaders with an insatiable appetite for winning. The colour red is lucky for them, and red dial watches and red strap watches perfectly complement their bold and confident style.

Taurus (The Bull): April 20–May 20

Taurus is an earth sign and people belonging to this zodiac are often known to be the most stubborn of the lot. Represented by the bull, they can be rigid but this also helps them to focus on priorities. Their ruling planet is Venus—the planet of love, which probably explains their love for luxury and rich pursuits. They also value and appreciate art and love decadent experiences. The color green brings them good fortune and is also symbolic of money—which they love to splurge, making green dial watches and green strap watches an ideal choice to showcase their appreciation for both luxury and prosperity.

Gemini (The Twins): May 21–June 21

Witty, charming and also sometimes flighty, this air sign is appropriately symbolised by the celestial twins, since people falling under this zodiac are known to have a wide social circle. They are also interested in diverse pursuits. That’s what probably explains their ‘twins’ symbol. Ruled by Mercury, Geminis are intellectual beings and are highly thought-driven, which is why they also make good listeners and effective communicators. Yellow is their lucky colour and Geminis never shy away from speaking their minds, making yellow dial watches a vibrant and fitting accessory to reflect their communicative nature.

Represented by the 'twins' symbol, Geminis are sure to love the Arnold & Son HM Double Hemisphere Perpetual Moon that features two of the biggest moon phase indications on a wristwatch

Cancer (The Crab): June 22–July 22

Cancer is a cardinal water sign, with the ability to exist in both emotional and material realms. They are governed by the Moon—which majorly controls moods just like the tides that are subject to changes. This is the most maternal, empathic, and nurturing sign of the zodiac, and it allows the Moon’s intuitive nature to fully shine. But this means they are also vulnerable since they are so emotional. It comes as no surprise that silver is a lucky colour for this sign. Silver dial watches and silver strap watches are more than timepieces; they are meaningful expressions of emotional depth and sophistication.

Leo (The Lion): July 23–August 22

Vivacious, theatrical and passionate, Leos love to bask in the spotlight and celebrate themselves. This fire sign is ruled by the Sun, and people belonging to this house have an innate ability to bring warmth and radiance into other’s lives. However, this may also be responsible for their inflated egos as the Sun is at the center of the universe, and is a major life force. The color gold or even the metal has a positive influence on their lives, and these are some of the most confident and generous people that you’ll come across, often opting for the elegance of gold watches and gold strap watches to showcase their regal and self-assured nature.

Virgo (The Virgin): August 23–September 22

Virgos are logical, practical and systematic, and are known to have a highly goal-oriented approach towards life. People belonging to this earth sign are perfectionists. Their ruling planet is Mercury, which is responsible for their analytical thinking and a detail-driven approach. They appreciate organization, discipline, and punctuality, and are averse to anything superfluous. White is supposed to bring them good luck, making white dial watches the perfect accessories to complement their preference for clean and precise aesthetics.

Libra (Balance): September 23–October 23

Libra is obsessed with symmetry and strives to create equilibrium in all areas of life. In addition to Taurus, Venus also rules over this air sign Libra, which explains their focus on achieving balance in all aspects of life. But this may also become a challenge at times because the obsession with balance may make Librans indecisive. Venus also brings out their artistic side, and Libra is known to be the most romantic sign in the zodiac wheel. Most people under this sign are likely to love light shades of blue, have impeccable aesthetic taste, and a creative side that’s fueled by cerebral pursuits. It’s no surprise that they often gravitate towards the elegance of blue dial watches, which perfectly resonate with their refined and artistic sensibilities.

Scorpio (The Scorpion): October 24–November 21

One of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac due to its symbol, Scorpio is passionate and commands power. This water sign derives its strength from the psychical and emotional realm and is governed by Pluto—also known as the ‘God of the Underworld’, and allows this sign to transform, evolve and adapt even through major intense situations. This probably explains why the Scorpio energy is naturally preoccupied with the darker, more esoteric aspects of existence. Purple is lucky for this sign as it helps fight tension, lowers anxiety and increases focus. With their penchant for delving into life’s mysteries, Scorpios are drawn to the enigmatic allure of purple. Purple dial watches hold a special place in their hearts, as they embody the profound and intense aspects of their personality

Since shades of purple are lucky for Scorpios, the H. Moser & Cie. Endeavour Centre Seconds timepiece makes for a fine option with its deep wine coloured dial, which lends it an enigmatic aura

Sagittarius (The Archer): November 22–December 21

Sagittarians are always on a quest for knowledge and are avid travellers. The last fire sign of the zodiac, they are always hungry for knowledge—more practical than theoretical, and are always up for a good adventure. They are ruled by Jupiter, which explains their natural zeal for exploration and their free-spirited nature, and also why the color orange is really lucky for them. People belonging to this sign value freedom probably more than any other sign, and tend to lose interest in relationships that suffocate them. This is why you’ll often see them sporting orange dial watches, as a symbol of their vibrant and independent spirit, and a reminder to keep exploring life on their own terms.

Sagittarians are consumed with wanderlust and a world-timer watch complements this aspect. The IWC Pilot’s Timezoner Chronograph is the perfect tool as it represents time in 24 zones

Capricorn (The Goat): December 22–January 19

Represented by the goat, Capricorns tap into their inner fortitude to overcome whatever stands between them and their long-term goals, and they don’t let anything distract them from getting ahead. This earth sign is ruled by Saturn and people of this group are perhaps the most disciplined and hardworking. The planet’s energy brings structure into their lives, which helps them build a solid foundation. Usually, they are uncomfortable with bright colours and prefer earthy, brown tones, which complement their reliable attitude. For those who value structure and reliability, brown dial watches are more than just timepieces; they are a reflection of their unwavering dedication to building a strong and dependable life foundation.

Since Capricorns prefer earthy, brown tones, the Corum Admiral AC-One 45 forms the perfect fit with its wooden dial fitted inside a brown case in bronze, presented on a brown leather strap

Aquarius (The Water Bearer): January 20–February 18

Most people confuse this to be a water sign because of ‘aqua’ in its name, but Aquarius is actually the last air sign of the zodiac, and is the most humanitarian among them. People falling under this house despise authority and anything conventional, and are attracted towards the turquoise hue. They are governed by Uranus, which is associated with challenging the status quo, and sudden bursts of energy. They always embrace innovative ways of approaching situations and have a rebellious streak, making turquoise dial watches and turquoise strap watches the perfect accessories to express their unique and unconventional style.

Pisces (The Fish): February 19–March 20

Represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisceans are known to live in two worlds—the real and imaginary. This sensitive water sign is governed by Neptune, which is the dreamy planet of illusions and spiritual realms, and probably explains their emotional and poetic side. They are dreamers and artistic people and may have a strong affinity towards the color pink. For many of them, pink dial watches become cherished accessories, reflecting their romantic and imaginative nature with every tick of the clock.

Represented by the 'fish' symbol, Pisces would love this Oris Whale Shark Limited Edition watch, which is part of the brand's mission to help in preservation of the largest fish in the ocean
