The Times

From pastel to rainbow, there’s a full spectrum of colourful watches to brighten up winter. Not so long ago, dials were mostly white. Then blue became a favourite, and green. After a couple of years deprived of glamour, it is no surprise that timepieces have been designed for a trip to Studio 54. So don’t let your wrist let you down this party season. Rainbow baguette sapphires, vibrant faces, lacquered dials and richly coloured straps make these watches made for dancing. And also remind you when it’s time to go home . . .
