Let Cupid tell the time

Among Central's 'Million Ways to Love', some heart-thrilling wristwatches

UNTIL VALENTINE’S Day on Tuesday, 10 leading watchmakers are showing their state-of-the-art designs for couples in a campaign called “Central Season of Giving 2017: A Million Ways to Love”. 
You and your sweetheart might both consider wearing a Longines Dolce Vita, named for the classic Italian romance film. The rectangular case and straps are stainless steel and 13 Wesselton VS diamonds adorn the dial. 
Then there’s the Longines Master Chronograph, whose stainless steel case is transparent at the back to reveal the inner workings. The strap is alligator leather, the dial offers moon phases and day and month displays, and the watch is water-resistant to 30 metres. 
Rado’s Centrix Automatic Open Heart shares the love story from Chinese mythology of the cowherd and the weaver girl. It boasts a transparent sapphire case-back, a crystal-sapphire dial, hi-tech ceramic body and a stainless steel strap. 
More adventurous couples will appreciate the Casio G-Shock and Baby G watches. They have white cases, navy-blue lettering, gold-accented faces and, on the case-back an engraved devil and angel.
