5 adorable celebrity first dates to warm your heart this Valentine’s Day
1. Richard Mille RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon
Drake, equally famous for his romantic escapades as his music, has been spotted sporting a cutting-edge erotic watch by French watchmaker Richard Mille. This manually wound timepiece features three rotating panels at the top reminiscent of an adult-themed Mad Libs, which combine to reveal various sensual messages such as “I Lust To Caress Your Body” and “Let Me Kiss You Tonight”.
With a total of 216 different messages, this watch ensures you’re never without steamy bedroom activity ideas.
2. Ulysse Nardin Hourstriker Erotica Jarretiere
But Drake’s RM69 – suggestive though it may be – is quite tame compared to what Ulysse Nardin has been doing. The Swiss maison has become virtually synonymous with the high-end erotic watch thanks to coitus-inspired collections like its Hourstriker Erotica series.

The Erotica Jarretiere, for instance, features two lovers enjoying a spot of carnal indulgence by an open window in Venice, etched onto a dial of black onyx, with the watch’s signature “striking” feature on the hours and half-hours coinciding with the thrusting of the lovers. Meanwhile, the Erotica Pinup features a tasteful striptease on the dial, as a burlesque dancer undresses in time to the chimes.
3. Ulysse Nardin Classic Voyeur
Ulysse Nardin’s Classic Voyeur series is yet another scintillating foray into the world of erotic watches. Its distinguishing feature is an automaton complication that brings to life an intimate scene at the wearer’s command, showcasing the brand’s flair for combining visual storytelling with mechanical animation.
At the 2018 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) exhibition, Ulysse Nardin unveiled a platinum Classic Voyeur erotic watch adorned with a diamond bezel. This particular model features a scandalising scene of one couple engaged in intimacy on a couch, while another voyeuristic couple watches secretly from behind a curtain. This well-endowed watch is worth a gasp-inducing US$373,000.
4. Chopard Tonneau Concealed Erotic
Chopard played a key role in reviving the erotic watch trend during the 1980s and 1990s. Opting for a more understated style than Ulysse Nardin, the Swiss jewellery maison elected to introduce sultry scenes on the case backs of its “Erotic” series. From the front, it’s a classic Chopard Tonneau, the pinnacle of refinement and decorum. With a simple press of a button on the crown, an image of a couple entwined in lovemaking is revealed on the back.

5. Blancpain Carrousel Minute Repeater
Luxury Swiss watchmaker Blancpain has also played its role in popularising the erotic watch trend by incorporating hidden hand-engraved sexual scenes into select models of their timepieces. For example, one Carrousel Répétition Minutes reveals a provocative scene reminiscent of Louis XV’s reign. This is mostly like a deliberate homage to the long-standing legacy of erotic watches, which traces back to Louis XV and his embrace of playful sexuality.
6. Jacob & Co Caligula
Jacob & Co. is known for its bold approach to watchmaking, and its Caligula series of erotic watches is no exception. In this collection, the New York-based watchmaker presents a daring design with a ménage à trois displayed in the lower aperture of the watch. True to its playful and provocative theme, the company crafted exactly 69 pieces of this series, each priced at US$69,000, blending luxury with a hint of tongue-in-cheek humour.

7. Jacob & Co Rasputin Diamond Erotic Minute Repeater Watch
If you’re in the market to invest exponentially more, Jacob & Co. offers this ravishing creation valued at a breathtaking US$2 million, recently spotted on MMA star Conor McGregor.
Adorned with more than 500 diamonds across the case, bezel and dial, totalling almost nine carats, this watch is a true spectacle of luxury. The lower section of the dial features a white gold compartment that, upon opening, unveils a meticulously hand-painted scene of a couple in the midst of an explicit sexual act.
