Do you know what watch she is wearing, or have you seen a similar one?

Apologies for DM link.

It's a Cartier one. Think it's called Ballon bleu or something like that.

ahh... Cartier. Out of my reach. Any ideas for a similar style? is this a dual tone, I can't quite see, I like the size, not too chunky, not too dainty.

It looks elegant and sporty, which I love.

I don't like the ring - it looks cheap

I bought a gold chunky Orla Kiely watch a few months ago and love it. Totally different to a Cartier, so probably no use, but it's beautiful in it's own way!

Raymond Weil make nice looking watches.

Hundreds rather than thousands which Cartier cost.

Cartier own the patent to the unusual crown setting that the ballon blue range have so you won't find a watch with similar crown unless it is counterfeit

The thing is laconnerie, he's a hedge fund manager so makes it look super gorgeous as clearly it's a bona fide ascher cut? on me it would look cheap as there would be an assumption that it was CZ but she can totally pull it off as genuine.

RW watches are very nice.

What's the verdict on two-tone styles? Stylish or naff?

also what do you think about
Viviennne Westwood rose gold

Viviennne Westwood silver

I wouldn't buy a Vivienne Westwood watch. It's a fashion brand like Armani etc. You are paying for the name.

A watch from a watch maker will be far superior in quality.

I am currently coveting this 2 tone Burberry watch:

I really want it as my wedding rings are platinum but these days I wear a lot of gold so think a 2 tone watch might help tie it all together. My engagement ring is an asscher cut diamond too, though just a teeny bit smaller than Pippa's (which I love).

Looks like the DM has noticed Pippa's fancy watch .
The burberry one is pretty Sex. I like dual tone watches as I like yellow gold but my wedding and engagement rings are white gold so could be a nice way to integrate a bit of yellow gold bling.

What other dual tone watches are nice?

Thought the ring was gorgeous. She is looking good at the moment. Must have a new stylist!

Thought the watch a little vulgar. Only dress watches should have diamonds.

Love the white dress in the link. Anyone know where it's from?

Meh to the ring.

I read somewhere the dress is whistles.

Love the watch, not hugely keen on the ring. I don't like the metal bit in between the two layers if you know what I mean. It doesn't look very sparkly? Maybe I need to see it in the flesh.
