Rina Wadhwani, director at Wadhsons Hong Kong, shares her passion, the story behind her favourite timepieces, and how to match watch aesthetic to the occasion

On my wrist: I’m wearing a Rolex Rainbow Daytona—my favourite watch. It was a surprise gift from my husband on our anniversary and the one watch that I treasure most. It’s a statement watch that transitions from day to night and matches any look that you put together. A great collector’s item!

Holiday watch: I like to switch to my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ladies rose gold with a diamond bezel and a white rubber strap. I find it practical yet stylish. The white rubber strap is easy to care for and durable. Sometimes I will change to a Franck Muller Ladies Sunset diamond bezel watch to vary the look.

Black tie: I have several evening options such as the Breguet Reine de Naples, which is elegant and timeless. Oftentimes I will wear my Chopard Happy Diamonds watch with a silver strap, or my Harry Winston white gold and diamond watch.

Sentimental reasons: Of all the watches I possess, I have to say that my yellow gold Rolex Presidential watch is very special. It was a surprise gift from my husband for Valentine’s Day when we were newly married. I was very touched by his generous gesture. There is a romantic story behind this too but I won’t go into details.

On my radar: I have been eyeing the Patek Phillipe Ladies Nautilus rose gold and diamond watch for a while now. I think it’s a very sophisticated and classy watch with lasting appeal. Would I take the plunge? Well, let’s hope my husband decides to surprise me when he reads this!
