This is the greatest season to think white. Snow, ice, skiing, sledding and a host of wonderful winter activities cry out for a winter white watch. Today’s watch brands that are interpreting this elegant white hot tone on timepieces using multiple materials like mother-of-pearl, satin, and even diamonds — all of them great for the holidays. Piaget, for instance, offers added allure to its Limelight Gala watch with a legless case and satin strap. Similarly, Omega mixes a mechanical Co-Axial self-winding caliber with a COSC chronometer certification and wraps it in a gold and steel timepiece that flaunts a mother-of-pearl dial and satin-brushed leather strap. The list goes on, but here are four of our favorites perfect for the holiday season. (A variation of this article by Roberta Naas appeared in Aspenpeak-magazine.)
