Opposites attract; balance is key; you complete each other… These are common expressions for successful relationships between partners, and how better can these aspects be presented than by the balancing act of black and white. The yin and yang represents sheer harmony, even in a couple, even if those in it are not exact opposites—not even by gender

Seen here is the black of the yin and yang presented below from the Rado True Square line

The yin and yang of open hearts

Rado True Square Open Heart

Love with an open heart and wear your (open) heart on your sleeve in more ways than one. With the Rado True Square Open Heart, you see right through the heart, and know what makes it go aflutter, as you observe the beauty of the decoration on the wheels and gears of the R734 automatic calibre, which can run autonomously for up to 80 hours. And to protect the open heart within, the build of these timepieces is in Rado’s special high-tech ceramic, which is resilient and resistant to scratches. Though there are diamond hour markers only on the dial of the white one, the common features of the yin and yang include their 38mm size and rose gold-coloured accents. Keep it real, keep it true, these open hearts might just be for two of you.

The yin and yang of diving all in

Carl F. Bucherer Patravi Scuba-Tec

Dive deep into your commitment with each other, as you pair and share these Carl F. Bucherer dive watches. In contrast beyond the yin and yang of these two is also their size difference—with the white and black at approximately 36mm and 44mm respectively. It shouldn’t make a difference in a wider sense though, considering that for some, size doesn’t matter, and for others, it’s completely irrelevant altogether. Moreover, with the black one in DLC-treated titanium, it will feel just as light, if not lighter on the wrist than the white one in steel does. Water-resistant to 200m, these dive timekeepers come with unidirectional-rotating 60-minute dive-timer bezels. Both feature adequate Super-LumiNova on their markers, and straps in rubber—the black one with a textile overlay.

The yin and yang of high contrast

Doxa Sub 300 Whitepearl And Carbon Sharkhunter

Complexities in common between two personalities often helps one understand the other better, owing to shared qualities of contrasting contradictions. And that’s true for these Doxa Sub 300 watches as well. Each one presents sheer contrast, with the stark black markers on the ‘Whitepearl’ edition, and the bright orange accents on the dark carbon ‘Sharkhunter’ version. All the while, the yin and yang of the pairing is more than evident. Yet, the similarities are quite apparent as well. Both are sized at 42.5mm, and come in the same case structure, with dual dive-timer scales, including one for timing dives with no decompression stops. And each of these robust timekeepers runs on a 38-hour automatic COSC-certified chronometer movement.

The yin and yang of being integrated

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Automatic

Just like the yin and yang come together, well integrated, each of these watches are beautifully integrated in themselves and in the signature elements that they share in common. In addition to this, Girard-Perregaux’s iconic integrated-bracelet sport watch, the Laureato reflects a hint of romance in another way as well. The bezel designed with an octagonal structure on top of a round base—a strong identifier—is inspired by the dome of the Duomo cathedral in the romantic town of Florence in Italy. With a hobnail pattern on each dial, these time-and-date watches run on automatic movements. Aside from the hues of the plain steel and black ceramic used in the construction of the white and black versions, respectively, other key differences are the size and power reserve—42mm and 54 hours for the steel and 38mm and 46 hours for the ceramic.

In a world where products being gender-neutral is the order of the day—especially with watches—there’s no rule about who wears white and who wears black. And while the yin and yang may not even go so far as to separate the two genders in a couple, their opposites could still attract each other, and the black will always complement the white. So go ahead, mix and match, switch and share, and be the yin and yang that you two are. Happy Valentine’s Day.
