As the Paris 2024 Olympics<\/a> draws to a close, we keep checking the medal table; wondering who will end up with the largest sum. Whether bronze, silver, or gold, these pieces of history celebrate great achievement. Many spectators may never get their hands on these medals, so what’s the next best thing? A watch, of course. Just like these medals, the gift of time is precious; and one with great longevity. As a result, we have curated this list of watches that each proudly sit on the podium. No matter if it is bronze, silver, or gold, each is as beautiful as the other. So read on as we explore the Olympic medals in the form of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronze, Silver, and Gold: Olympic Medals in the Form of Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Bronze Pick: Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Diver Bronze Limited Edition (42mm) Black Dial \/ Vintage Brown Leather Strap PT6248-BRZ01-330-3<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Limited to 888 pieces, this model features a black lacquered dial with a minute ring and a date aperture at 6 o\u2019clock. As well as this, baton indices and hands executed in golden hues and lined with vintage beige Super-LumiNova. This luminous treatment emits a notable glow, so even in low-light conditions, the time is still visible. Warm yet eminently cool, a 42mm bronze case frames the dial. Due to the properties of bronze, the case may develop a natural patina over time. As the metal reacts with the skin, it forms a thin protective layer on the surface; ultimately giving the watch a completely unique look. Moreover, a second crown features at 2 o\u2019clock. With a purpose of measuring elapsed time underwater, it operates the internal rotating bezel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with the automatic ML115 calibre, and with up to 300 metres of water resistance, this Pontos S Diver is ideal for daily wear. A vintage brown leather strap secures the watch to the wrist. Its bronze pin buckle not only provides great security, but it also enhances the watch\u2019s contemporary appeal; promising to look \u00fcber-chic on both your wrist and the steps of a podium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Silver Pick: BOSS Mae (30mm) Silver Dial \/ Stainless Steel Bracelet 1502722<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A symbol of timeless sophistication, this BOSS Mae watch impresses with both its grace and femininity. The silver white dial features four crystal-set indices, at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions, as well as silver-tone hour, minute and second hands. Although simple in appearance, the dial adds a touch of understated luxury to the overall design. Mesauring 30mm in diameter, a pretty and petite stainless steel case frames the dial. And within this case lies the watch’s quartz movement. Reliable and presice, it ensures accurate timekeeping. It is also a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship that has gone into the watch; just like the high-quality performance that an Olympian has done to receive a silver medal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brilliant stainless steel bracelet secures the watch to the wrist. While it is not made from sterling silver, its silver tone has the same effect; it’s worthy of the second step on any podium. With water resistance up to 30 metres, this watch combines practicality with elegance, ensuring it remains a trusted companion in any condition. So no matter if you’re at a formal event, or just running errands, this watch deserves a place on your wrist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Gold Pick: Tissot Goldrun Hesalite 18K Gold Black Leather Strap T71340121<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Like an Olympic gold medal itself, this watch is rich and radient; impresing with its luxurious appeal. Pale but warm, its champagne dial exhibits thin baton indices and matching hands. As well as this, a champagne date aperture features at 3 o’clock. Extremely impact-resistant, and somewhat scratch-resistant, a domed Hesalite crystal protects the dial; its domed nature ensures great clarity. Furthermore, a 33.7mm 18k gold case frames the dial. 18K yellow gold is as pure as possible, but it also offers great practicality. This Tissot, therefore, offers the perfect blend of both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Swiss-made quartz movement powers the watch. Reliable and precise, it ensures for accurate timekeeping. Completing the luxurious look of this Tissot Goldrun watch is a black alligator-style leather strap. Like the gold you find in an Olympic medal, although there’s not much of it, this Tissot has an everlasting appeal. Rich and ravishing, it is the perfect watch for those who want an Olympic medal in the form of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
