Beyond the gorgeous Regency era ballrooms and the meticulously designed costumes (and wigs), there is plenty to admire on Bridgerton this season. The period drama follows the lives of “the ton” as young men and women make their debut in society, and just like in the present day, the youngsters come dressed to impress. Since no ensemble is complete without a trusted timepiece, here are the luxury watches we’d love to see on Bridgerton in 2024.
The third season of Netflix’s Bridgerton promises a romantic journey through Olivia Rodrigo violin covers and sensual will-they-won’t-they-love scenes. Under Queen Charlotte’s watchful eye, the stakes are high as Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton begin their courtship towards the end of the season premiere. Released in two parts, only time will tell whether their love can and will flourish, and perhaps, time will be best told with a gorgeous timepiece to accompany.
From a travel-inspired Patek Philippe heirloom for Colin Bridgerton, to a bright pink Chanel watch for Cressida Cowper, here are the luxury watches we’d love to see on the stars of Bridgerton’s third season.
To Commemorate his Travels, and to Pass Down to his Children
The Bridgertons love a family heirloom, and nothing whispers “for the next generation,” like a Patek Philippe timepiece. A reflection of his world travels in season three, a Patek Philippe World Time watch is the perfect match for Colin Bridgerton. Combining geography and poetry, the timepiece features a Grand Feu Cloisonné enamel dial, depicting Oceania and Southeast Asia. The strap is made from alligator leather, underpinning Colin’s more mature and sophisticated personality as a jump from Bridgerton seasons one and two.

As a Nod to Her Hidden Persona
Penelope Featherington wears two hats in Bridgerton, and as a nod to her secret second identity as Lady Whistledown, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso just makes sense. To match her new ivy green gowns, this remarkable green model features an elegant rectangular case, and two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds surrounding the lacquered dial. Penelope could get it engraved — perhaps with the letters “C.B.”

As a Tribute to her Love for Piano
Francesca Bridgerton makes it no secret that she has a grand love for music, and so the Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Astronomical Striking Grand Complication – Ode to Music is a fantastic fit. The timepiece features an impressive 19 complications for this double-sided minute repeater model, displaying solar, sidereal, and civil time, as well as a perpetual calendar. It was created within the Les Cabinotiers department as a tribute to the art of music.

Because Eloise Stands Out from the Crowd
Eloise Bridgerton strays away from convention, so a lesser traditional timepiece suits her best. The NOMOS Glashütte Lux White Gold makes for an exciting timepiece for the young lady, given its fun and unusual tonneau form. The dial is galvanised, and white silver-plated with a blue print, similar to the classic Bridgerton blue. The winged clasp comes in 18kt gold and is designed in Berlin. We have a feeling modern-day Eloise would love Berlin.

To Compliment Her Colourful Gowns
Cressida Cowper loves to gossip, and if there’s any watch that would become the talk of the town on Bridgerton, it may just be this one. The Chanel J12 Xray sees a special edition in pink, and is sometimes nicknamed the ‘Barbie Watch.’ We have a feeling Cressida would love this reference, and it would definitely go very well with her flamboyant ruffles and gowns.

Because Nature is Important to Him
We know Lord Debling has a love for the natural world, so a timepiece that honours the seas would have a happy place on his wrist. Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms collection has long shared this passion, originally expressed in 1953 with the world’s first diver’s watch. The 70th Anniversary Act 2: Tech Gombessa would make a fitting luxury watch for Lord Debling, though if he wants to keep things more playful and casual, he could also look into the recent Blancpain x Swatch Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection, too.

Bridgerton Season 3, Part 1 was released on 16 May, and is now streaming on Netflix. Season 3, Part 2 is expected to release on 13 June 2024.
