DNA, fingerprints, irises all set us apart physically. But on a more cosmic level, there is something else that differentiates us from each other. Like they say, ‘it’s written in the stars’! Whether you’re an atheist, a novice, or a full-fledged believer in the predictions based on the alignment of your stars, we like to believe that your zodiac sign does influence your personality and tastes. So, The Watch Guide is donning the astrologer’s hat, as we suggest a luxury wristwatch that is meant for you, and will match your 2018 forecast to the T.
Aries
Just like your zodiac symbol, the ram, you’re bursting with energy and follow your natural, impulsive instincts. The year, 2018 is going to be an electric year for the Aries. Ruled by the element of fire, 2018 will see you slogging on the work front and butting heads with folks, but your perseverance is going to pay off in the latter half of the year. We know it’s hard for you to control the splurging spree, but unless it is on a watch like the one below or something worthwhile, stay clear from swiping your card. All in all, a little caution would prove 2018 to be one of your easiest years to sail through.
Suggested Watch: Oris Aquis Date

Taurus
New Year and a new, charged-up bull! It’s focused on your stability and peace, and only radical behaviour from your end can disturb that.
