Take your style to the next level with handbags, backpacks and cases that match your watch

If you're traveling during the holiday season, owning a stylish suitcase and a beautiful watch can already put you in the holiday spirit. Let's start with the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Huracán Sterrato, a wristwatch developed with Lamborghini Squadra Corse. This futuristic timepiece combines cutting-edge materials with complex mechanics and avant-garde design, just like the supercar that inspired its design.
The Rimowa Cabin is a stylish hardshell polycarbonate suitcase with a range of high-tech features. It is equipped with the Rimowa multi-wheel system for effortless riding, a “stepless” telescopic handle, double internal organization with a compression system to keep your clothes in place, and TSA approved locks. This model comes in a beautiful metallic blue with Rimowa's signature striped stripes.
Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” Minute Repeater and Amina Muaddi Paloma Mini Clutch © Patek Philippe, Amina Muaddi
This delicious Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” minute repeater was released just a few days ago. It features a row of colorful baguette-cut gemstones and a minute repeater movement. Why choose between a jewelry watch and a complicated watch when you can have both?
We found the perfect evening handbag to match this extraordinary watch: the Paloma Mini Clutch by Amina Muaddi. It's made of satin and is completely covered in sparkling crystals in every color of the rainbow. With a chain to wear on the shoulder.
Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date and Montblanc Extreme 3.0 Backpack © Montblanc
The Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date features an alluring gray dial with a glacier motif inspired by Mont Blanc's Mer de Glace. It is housed in a 41mm stainless steel case with an interchangeable black rubber strap. But it's not just its beauty that impresses, it's also an ISO-certified diving watch, water-resistant to 300 meters, which accompanies its owner on all sorts of adventures.
For the second part of the watch-bag pairing, we stick with Montblanc (it would be rude not to, right?) and here we have the silver Extreme 3.0 backpack. This compact, functional and comfortable bag is suitable for urban adventures and features easy-access pockets for all the things you need to have quickly on hand.
Cartier Panthère watch and Panthère de Cartier bag © Cartier
We stay on the same theme with Cartier, his watch and his Panthere bag. First, the watch: This reinterpretation of the legendary Panthère de Cartier features the panther boldly closing its mouth on a black lacquer dial. Carved into architectural and geometric shapes with acute angles, this big cat is a sight not to be missed.
For the handbag, the panther becomes a golden clasp with a similar geometric panther head. The bag is made of burgundy cowhide leather, it has two interior compartments and a removable mirror. It can be worn over the shoulder or across the body.
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades and The Tote Bag by Marc Jacobs © Omega, Marc Jacobs
Color is one way to coordinate accessories, functionality is another. The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades and The Tote Bag from Marc Jacobs have both. The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra features a beautiful shell pink dial that stands out on the wrist, but is also a reliable companion with its 34mm stainless steel case and coaxial Master Chronometer 8800 movement that displays time and date.
Style and comfort also go hand in hand with The Tote Bag by Marc Jacobs: This medium-sized tote is an everyday bag that offers space for all your belongings. Equipped with a large top zip and internal pockets, you can carry it by the handles or over your shoulder thanks to the shoulder strap.
Bulgari Serpenti Misteriosi High-Jewellery Secret Watch Black Diamonds and Bulgari Forever shoulder bag © Bulgari
The snake has never looked more attractive than on this Bulgari Serpenti Misteriosi High-Jewellery Secret Watch, which hides the dial in its mouth. And not only is the dial tiny, this watch is also powered by a miniature mechanical movement. It is decorated with black lacquered scales, boat-cut diamonds and pear-shaped emeralds (for the eyes).
The Bulgari Forever shoulder bag, with its antique gold cowhide leather and black nappa leather lining, is the perfect accessory for this watch. The snake's head serves as a clasp and is made of gold-plated brass, finished with black enamel and white agate scales with black onyx eyes.
Ferdinand Berthoud Chronometer DB 2T and Globe Trotter Centenary Carry-On © Ferdinand Berthoud, Globe Trotter
The DB 2T Chronometer by Ferdinand Berthoud is the first to combine a tourbillon movement and a fusee chain transmission in a round gold case. It is limited to 38 pieces and its future owner can freely choose the material of the case as well as the color of the dial and the hands. This variant is made of 18k gold with a satin black dial.
What could be better for the owner of the Ferdinand Berthoud when traveling than the Centenary Carry-On from British leather goods manufacturer Globe Trotter? This carry-on suitcase features an intense forest green with classic brown leather details and gold hardware. It is also possible to personalize Globe Trotter suitcases, allowing you to truly customize your Ferdinand Berthoud to suit your luggage.
Small puzzle bag from Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold and Loewe © Hublot, Loewe
The Loewe Small Puzzle Bag and the Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Green both integrate large lines into their design. The small puzzle bag is made of khaki green calf leather in a cubic shape, which is created using an extremely precise cutting technique. It was Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson's first bag.
For a timepiece that also knows how to play with lines, here is the Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Green in 33 mm. The various finishes on the King Gold case, hour markers and hands include satin finish and micro-blasting, which capture the light in an impressive way. The watch is powered by the HUB2912 quartz movement and is equipped with a green rubber strap.

Winter is here in the northern hemisphere. So why not welcome the snow with this Coco Neige lambskin and silver metal backpack that looks like it can keep all your belongings warm? It is beautifully crafted both inside and out, with interior pockets and a magnetic closure.
The Chanel J12 Diamond Tourbillon Caliber 5 watch in its white ceramic and white gold case is set with baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, baguette-cut diamonds on the dial and hands, and a large solitaire diamond above the tourbillon rotates every second.
Hermès In-The-Loop handbag and Hermès Arceau Large Model 36 mm watch © Hermès
Last but not least, we have two creations from Hermès in bright green. The first is the new In-The-Loop handbag with a nautical vibe thanks to its anchor chain motif. Available in a variety of colors, it is a soft, sturdy and elegant handbag.
To match the In-The-Loop handbag, we chose the Hermès Arceau Grand Model watch in 36 mm with a white lacquered dial, the characteristic Hermès numerals and a cactus green leather strap. It is powered by a quartz movement that displays the hours and minutes.
