The Top Trends in Luxury Watch Design: What's Hot and What's Not in 2023

Posted by AIS Watches on Feb 28th 2023

Luxury watch design is a very fluid thing. New trends come in, old trends go out and designers get inspired by everything from outer space to ancient Roman design. With that in mind, we've put together a list of the top trends in luxury watch design for 2023 — both what's hot and what's not. So sit back, relax, take notes (or maybe just bookmark this article), but most importantly enjoy this glimpse into what watches will look like two years from now!

The glorious return of ’90s design

The glorious return of ’90s design is a good thing. It's a throwback to vintage designs, which were often inspired by the past, and it celebrates the present.

We've seen this trend in watches from Omega and Rolex, who both released new versions of their classic Seamaster GMTs with domed dials and colorful accents on the bezel (Omega) or caseback (Rolex). The concept is simple: take an old favorite watch design and update it with modern materials like ceramic or sapphire crystal glass.

This approach has worked well so far--the Omega has been praised as one of their best-selling models ever!

Can we get on the gold train?

Gold is a popular metal for watchmaking. It's expensive, and gold watches are associated with luxury, so they're not for everyone. Gold has a long history in jewelry making. However, it hasn't been used much in the last few decades because of its association with the '90s and other outdated fashions (like shoulder pads).

But now that we're entering another era where anything goes--and if you ask me it should always be like this--gold is coming back!

Purple dials for everyone

The rising popularity of purple is making it a great color for watch dials. With a shade that is neither too bright nor dark, purple can complement other colors in a watch's design. Using purple on the dial adds a touch of uniqueness to the watch's appearance. It allows for a standout feature that is not too overpowering or too plain. Overall, incorporating purple into a watch's design can create a beautiful, versatile timepiece.

Affordable traveler GMTs

The GMT is a classic watch, but it can be difficult to choose one that's right for you. There are so many options out there, and they all have different features and appearances that may or may not appeal to your style.

Gone are the days when people only wore their watches while traveling or working; nowadays, we want our timepieces as part of our everyday lives--and even if you don't travel much these days (or ever), having a reliable timepiece on hand is still important for keeping track of appointments and meetings with clients. That's why it pays off in terms of investment value: buying an affordable traveler GMT will ensure that this piece lasts longer than other models out there because its construction has been optimized specifically for frequent use in different environments around the globe.

Titanium is taking over

Titanium is a metal that is extremely strong and lightweight. It's used in many industries, including the aerospace industry, medical industry and watchmaking.

In the watchmaking world, titanium has been around for a long time--but it's only recently become popular as an alternative to steel or gold cases on luxury watches. The reason for this? Titanium is light enough to make your wrist feel less weighed down by your timepiece but still tough enough that it can withstand daily wear without any issues at all!

Trends are a very fluid thing

The thing about trends is that they are a very fluid thing. What's hot now might not be in a few weeks or months, or even years! This means that when you're trying to keep up with the latest fashion and find out what's going on in the world of design, it can be hard to keep track of all those changes. But don't worry--we've got some tips for you!

First off: don't get too caught up in trends themselves; instead focus on what appeals to YOU personally. It doesn't matter how many people are wearing something if it doesn't look good on YOU (or isn't comfortable). Some things may seem like they'd suit everyone but actually end up being terrible choices for certain individuals' body types or lifestyles; other times something may look great but simply not fit into your budget at all . . . so instead pick something based on whether or not YOU like it!

We hope that this article has given you some insight into the future of luxury watch design. As we look back on the last decade, we can see that many of these trends have come true, and it's exciting to think about what might be next. We know one thing for sure: there will always be a place in our hearts (and wrists) for classic timepieces.
