Well, judging from yor watches...
and their different size, shape, colour and dial design I would assume the two of you are playing in opposite corners of the playing field, NJ_Mark 
!
Nobody can accuse you of overemphasizing your partnership by means of wearing identical watches.
But, how did the old Romans say?
"Variatio delectat" (variety delights)

Husband and wife watch team?
Dear fellow Purists, in the recent past, we enjoyed two posts in TimeOut, that emphasized the differences between men and women and gave us good laughs: 1. What a woman wants in a man? timeout.watchprosite.com and 2. Why Men are just Happier people..........
I admire...
couples who wear watches in tandem actually. This has several different possible combinations. Same watch/different size, same brand/lower complication for the wife, same watch different metal. My idea is that this somehow shows a sweetness, a secret bond...
An old pic.

After the " Father and son "
The Husband and wife! Very nice pic, and watches, Fernando! Best, Nicolas
Sporty couple, fernando
indeed, this couple looks really dynamic: two splendid pilot´s watches from IWC. Congratulation, anaesdoc
Here's a pic from a couple months ago
My wife has the more complicated watch! Cheers, Anthony...
More complicated watch?
Anthony, this reminds me of a photo in TimeOut commenting on differences between men and women: timeout.watchprosite.com Courtesy of Michel (see link above) Best, anaesdoc...
Why not ?
We think it's a funny detail, to both wear watches from brands we appreciate. I don't feel that we are ridiculous (but maybe we are...), as this will anyway remain unnoticed by 99,5 % of the people we meet ! Our first duo : Hublot Big Bang Steel Ceramic 4...
Nice photo with the parrot tulips, Emmanuel!
I like how the colors of your wife's watch and the tulips complement each other. Daos
Thanks Daos
I took this picture in May, in the famous Keukenhof near Amsterdam : millions of flowers in a superb park ! We bought different "collections" of flower bulbs that will be delivered in September (well, I hope !). Next year, I'll be able to do this kind of ...
Not a problem for me
She's not as mad as me; but she's interested in watches, and se has pretty good taste... Here's a couple of pics: And the unvaoidable JLC Moderator's selection: Best, Nicolas...
Discrete sameness
This is how I would comment on your composition, Nicolas. The watches are not identical, but very similar with strong resembling features. Ideal compromise if you want to avoid whimsical commentaries by other watch geeks! Best, anaesdoc
Close, but not the same...
...thanks everyone, who shared their thoughts and photos! But I think your examples are a bit different from the one I started with: the couple I am acquainted with wears the same watch, just in different sizes like other couples wear the same sweater (ju...
Yep, that´s a real pair of twins!
...and what a pair it is, VPEGULATOR. Congrats on these Golden Ellipses of yours! Best, anaesdoc
We have exactly the same
pair as your friend's for 14 years now and we wont part with them.......
Amazing
...that you both chose the same pair of watches, Quan! You are not by chance also working in a medical profession? I think my friends took the Rolex for its robustness and reliability in combination with great looks. Best regards, anaesdoc
we choose this 15
years ago, I wish to be a doctor but politic cause me become an engineer, no regret thou.....
A brace of matching 'uns......
His & Hers matching pair with consecutive series numbers........ Two out of 25 pieces total=8% of the global market The 2nd one purchased 1 year after the 1st one because the current Mrs MTF did not lend it to me as much as she promised...... Regards, MTF...
Very intriguing background story, MTF!
But it is a proof of your wife´s impeccable taste that she would not let you wear this beautiful watch yourself. Lucky you, that you could afford another one - that´s a smart way to solve the "problem"! BTW, my wife would never fancy to wear my ...

Also qualified as a team watch!
The two "Reversos" are another good example, how different sizes of the same watch can easily be worn by couples, isn´t it, Bruce-YVR? Thought myself about getting one for my wife and myself sometime. Thanks for contributing! Best regards, anaesdoc
Another "humble contribution"?
I wonder, VPREGULATEUR, what you will post when you put aside your modesty! Almost blinded by the sparkling of your watches, anaesdoc
Your watch seems to be larger than his, Ginger!
At least this is what the photo suggests. Quite unusual, as in most cases the gents have the larger case. Your watch is from the 1970´s? The case design looks alike. Thanks for your photo! Best, anaesdoc
MORE COUPLES
While we are still on the topic.... Lady's Perpetual- a very small one My AP Perpetual Her Corum Rialto Corum Rialto- Mine My Rialto This message has been edited by VPREGULATOR on 2009-07-09 19:56:16...
Wow...
as I assumed: once you gather momentum, there is no stopping! Your wife must be very special too, enjoying watches to such a degree - congratulations (on wife and watches ) anaesdoc
A COUPLE OF GOLDEN BRIDGES
Another pair with the same look Small and Delicate Masculine and Bold This message has been edited by VPREGULATOR on 2009-07-10 20:54:34...
Incredible, VPREGULATEUR,
...what treasures you come up with in the course of time! These watches are really special, so transparent and fragile looking. Best, anaesdoc
Lovely pair of Portofino´s, CS
... and matching a 100% the "same watch" criteria. I could imagine that even my wife (who is not really into watches) would like this very decent and classic design. Thanks for posting, anaesdoc
Thanks, but they are not Portofino's...
Thanks, anaesdoc. The larger watch is a limited edition Portuguese launched in 1993 to commemorate IWC's 125th anniversary. It is commonly known as the Jubilee Portugieser. It is manual winding, with a modified pocket watch movement. Mine is the stainless...
Thanks for the education
Hello CS, thank you for helping up my limited knowledge on IWC watches! From the dial design I would have thought, the watches belong to the Portofino series. You never stop learning ! Regards, anaesdoc
Reverso’s do make a nice ‘family’ pairing …
… particularly with the variety of case sizes to suit all wrists. I had owned the Grand Date for a while and the Reverso Memory came along for our tenth wedding anniversary; a nice emotional connection. Andrew...
Lovely combination
... and shows the versatility of the Reverso: goes well with an alligator strap as well as with a bracelet, suits her and him - excellent! Thanks Andrew for displaying the watches, anaesdoc
Interesting, pog760,
I would not have thought Panerai´s easily work for a husband and wife team, but obviously: it works! Thanks for posting! anaesdoc
