Perfect combinations: which wines match your watch

Wrist Watch

Alexander Griboyedov, who put the catch phrase “happy hours do not watch” into the mouth of Sofya Famusova, simply did not see the current heyday of the watch industry. Oh, the lucky people of our time know not only about watches, but also about wine culture. We, together with a network of wine stores wine style have compiled a guide on the optimal combinations of watches and wines, delicately emphasizing the merits of each other.

Watch: Challenge SeaLiner by CVSTOS. Wine: "Orea" Primitivo, Puglia IGP, 2019 by Cantina Diomede

This solid Swiss watch is aimed at connoisseurs of reckless sailing cruises. Deep shades of romantic blue, durable sapphire crystal, "Geneva wave" engraving - the model is directly inspired by the aesthetics of Mediterranean hedonism. The transparent case back allows you to observe the operation of the most precise movement, and the luminescent hands and markers sparkle brightly in the dark. The optimal companion for this watch will be the Orea wine by Cantina Diomede, which has absorbed the sunny spirit of the coastal Italian region of Apulia. The taste of the wine is distinguished by a silky texture, captivating fruit tones and a harmonious aroma.

Watches: Domingo Rosillo by Cuervo y Sobrinos. Wine: "Terra Rossa" Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva DOCG from Tenuta di Trecciano

Named after fearless aviation pioneer Domingo Rosillo, the watch is designed for the brave adventurer with a keen sense of style. In any era, they are few in number - the model was released in a circulation of only 90 copies. The patinated steel case, the kangaroo leather strap and the engraving commemorating the historic flight from Florida to Cuba add up to a confident, masculine composition. The watch seemed to us consonant with the rounded taste of dry red wine "Terra Rossa" from Tenuta di Trecciano, produced from selected Sangiovese berries. In addition to the intoxicating shades of cherries and blackberries, the aroma of the wine reveals masculine notes of tobacco and iron.

Watch: Weekend by Perrelet. Wine: "1960" Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC Riserva, 2017 by Cantina Frentana

Adherents of classic elegance have long been guided by the exquisite models of the leading Swiss brand Perrelet. The laconic, austere design of the Weekend flawlessly reflects the corporate identity of the company. In the world of wines, the analogue of these watches is the luxurious red dry “1960” Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from Cantina Frentana - the winner of many international awards, released in honor of the 60th anniversary of the manufacturer. The wine has a mild, persistent taste and generous aroma with notes of ripe berries and spices.

Watch: Ziiiro jupiter-black-rose. Wine: "Halos de Jupiter" Costieres de Nimes Rouge AOC, 2018 from Famille Gassier.

Connoisseurs of minimalism and sophisticated accents will definitely love the Ziiiro Jupiter Black Rose watch, which amazes with its design. The design of the watch uses a magnetic field to indicate the time using balls. The case and bracelet of the exquisite Black Rose model are made of hypoallergenic stainless steel. The watch, named after a planet with a strong magnetic field, is in harmony with the interplanetary veil of Halos de Jupiter - dry red with a generous aroma of berries, flowers and spices. Its label shows Jupiter and its four largest moons. It is with these heavenly bodies that the appellations in which wine is created are associated.

Watch: G-Shock from Casio. Wine: "Silga" Verdejo, Rueda DO, 2019 from Alvarez y Diez.

The striking, positive design of this shockproof watch will appeal to all the fun-loving people with an adventurous streak. But what kind of wine is right for light and carefree adventures? Of course, dry white, charged with the energy of the generous sun of Spain! Silga, with its subtle fruity notes, is ideal as an aperitif, the refreshing acidity goes well with fish and white meat and has a clean, long finish.

Watch: Angel by Invicta. Wine: “Chopo” Premium Rose, Jumilla DOP, 2019 from Alceno.

Models of the American brand Invicta are rightfully considered the personification of delicate taste, impeccable style and the highest quality. Angel is the best choice for self-motivated, self-confident women. The mood of this elegant quartz watch matches the trendy Spanish rose perfectly. Light “Chopo” Premium Rose conquers with hints of ripe peach, licorice and watermelon, smoothly turning into a refreshing aftertaste.

Watch: Seiko 5 Sports Sense by Seiko. Wine: Grande, Lugana DOC, 2019 from Malavasi.

For more than a century, Seiko has been the choice for active, energetic life lovers who prefer modern and practical accessories. Japan's leading watch brand celebrates its 140th anniversary this year. Kintaro Hattori created the brand at the tender age of 21, and from the very beginning his motto was: "One step ahead of everyone." The highlight of the company's recent collections is the Seiko 5 Sports Sense with a transparent case back. The emerald hues of the dial echo the semi-dry white Grande from blessed Lombardy. Its aroma is woven from fruit and honey-nut notes, and the fresh taste intrigues with citrus acidity.

Watch: Iconic Link Ceramic by Daniel Wellington. Wine: Cantine Renzo M, "Contrappasso" Rosso di Toscana IGT, 2018 from Masi Renzo.

Daniel Wellington fans are attracted by the brand's corporate identity - a universal classic, which is equally appropriate in seaside resorts and tennis tournaments, in responsible negotiations and restaurant terraces. The same is true for the sophisticated Iconic Link Ceramic, which will appeal to lovers of conservative design with light, playful accents. The watches are perfectly matched with red wines from Tuscany. Wine "Contrappasso" attracted us with its soft, rounded taste with hints of blackberry, cherry, spice and resin. The wine is in perfect harmony with red meat and game dishes, pasta and mature cheeses.

Watch: Swarovski Octea Lux Chrono. Wine: “Corkout” Zweigelt, 2018 by Wieser Ges.bR

Swarovski accessories add a dreamy, poetic charm to any outfit, both bold and conservative. We especially liked the feminine Octea Lux Chrono. Equipped with three subdials, this watch skillfully combines high technology with jewelery tradition. Their best companion will be red dry “Corkout” Zweigelt, created in the easternmost region of Austria - Burgenland from Zweigelt grapes. The elegant aroma of this pleasantly warming wine is dominated by tones of cherry, plum, spice and licorice.
