And Just Like That......it's goodbye. If you’ve been a fan of Sex and The City from the very beginning, you’ll know the story has now closed with the And Just Like That season finale.
When Sex and the City first aired more than twenty years ago, it was groundbreaking, provocative, and instantly iconic. Never before had four women been portrayed so unapologetically - embracing fashion, friendship, dating, and everything in between - against the dazzling backdrop of New York, the city that never sleeps. Every woman had a character she could relate to, or at least aspire to be.
Whilst the main focus was friendship and fashion, accessories always played a major part, each piece carefully curated to reflect each characters personality. Watches weren't always the main feature, but when they showed up they were often statement timepieces, truly reflective of each character.
Carrie Bradshaw’s style in Sex and the City is nothing short of iconic, with every outfit and accessory carefully chosen to make a statement.
From tutus and Manolo heels to oversized hats and eclectic jewelry, Carrie’s wardrobe reflected her bold, adventurous approach to fashion - and her accessories were often the crowning touch that defined her look.
While Carrie was rarely seen wearing a watch, there is one memorable exception. In Season 1, she sports a Bvlgari 18k gold watch, a piece that perfectly captures her love of understated luxury. The watch’s minimalist design - featuring a sleek gold band and a clean, elegant dial - aligns seamlessly with Carrie’s signature style: sophisticated yet effortlessly chic.
It’s a subtle nod to her own expressive taste, proving that even a small accessory can make a powerful statement when chosen with care.
Charlotte York has always epitomised polished, preppy elegance, and her watch choices are no exception.
In the original Sex and the City, her timepieces were subtle yet sophisticated, perfectly reflecting her classic, refined style. In And Just Like That…, Charlotte’s wardrobe continues to evolve while staying true to her signature elegance. In Season 1, she wears a Cartier Panthère de Cartier yellow gold watch - a sleek, minimalist piece that captures her understated luxury.
But Charlotte’s collection doesn’t stop there. True to her Park Avenue princess lifestyle, she also owns a mini Chanel J12 encrusted with diamonds, along with a yellow gold Perlée and a Sweet Alhambra from Van Cleef & Arpels, showcasing her love for timeless, high-end accessories that perfectly complement her impeccable style.
Mr. Big - the epitome of New York City sophistication, tailored suits, crisp shirts, and polished shoes, reflecting his status as a powerful and enigmatic figure. His watch choices further underscore this image, featuring classic luxury timepieces that complement his refined taste.
In the second Sex and the City movie, Carrie is seen gifting him a vintage Rolex Datejust watch from 1968 for their two-year anniversary. This timeless timepiece exudes sophistication and perfectly complements Mr. Big’s refined taste and status.
However, true to his 5th Avenue lifestyle, Mr. Big certainly owns more than one luxury timepiece. Among his collection is a Jacob & Co. Epic X Titanium watch, a bold and robust timepiece with a skeletonised JCAM02 calibre visible through sapphire crystal on the front and back of the watch. This watch is both a work of art and a product of high craftsmanship, reflecting his appreciation for fine details and exclusivity.
Though his story may have ended on the show, Mr. Big’s presence and influence continue to cast a lasting shadow.
While no specific timepieces were spotlighted in the show, we can imagine the kinds of watches the characters might have worn.
Miranda Hobbes - Smart, opinionated, and forthright, Miranda’s style reflects her career as a sharp legal professional in the original series. We could easily picture her wearing something like a Rolex Datejust - a timepiece that’s smart, clean, and elegantly understated.
Samantha Jones - Though she only made a brief cameo in the newer season, Samantha was always known for her flamboyant, larger-than-life accessories. To balance that bold style, we imagine a refined timepiece from Jaeger-LeCoultre or Cartier would have been the perfect complement.
