These days, watches have become synonymous with men’s style and luxury. Many of the biggest names in chronometers are branded with men in mind, creating striking and handsome timepieces that are designed to adorn male wrists. However, this does not mean that there is not an abundance of beautiful watches for the female market.
In fact, it may surprise you to know that not so long ago watches were exclusively worn by women and viewed as a feminine piece of jewellery. Men tended to opt for the more masculine pocket watch whilst their female companions chose delicate and ornate wristwatches. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that the wristwatch started to become popular among men – a popularisation that was furthered by the outbreak of WWI.
Ladies’ watches are quite unlike their ancestors which were rarely fully functioning and were used as another piece of luxury jewellery. The ladies’ watch now marries functionality with style and there are countless options, from the delicate and feminine to the strong and efficient.
Omega Ladies’ Watches
Omega is one of the best known names when it comes to timepieces. This Swiss brand is known for its luxury and accuracy and has its own unique style when it comes to designing watches that women want to wear. There is a fantastic selection of designs from the elegant and slim Omega Constellation Pluma to the dynamic and robust Omega Speedmaster Ladies Chronograph. The latter of these watches combines style and femininity with the efficiency and functionality that is so important in a watch. This chronograph is available today for £8,200 or with 36 monthly payments of £182.22 and a 20% deposit.
Cartier Ladies Watches
Cartier watches have a particularly distinctive look with their classic style and 1920s style glamour brought into the modern day. Cartier’s unique style is perfect for the delicate and modern designs, but seamlessly translates onto the larger and more modern pieces. The Cartier Ballon Bleu Diamond Ladies Watch is a perfect example of how this delicate look can work on a larger and robust model. This striking watch could be yours for £10,500 or with 36 monthly payments of £233.33 and a 20% deposit.
Chopard Ladies Watches
Chopard watches are consistently sophisticated and beautifully designed. Leading the way in horological innovation, Chopard are well known for their Happy Diamonds collection which features free-moving diamonds that are placed within the watch face. The Chopard Happy Sport Ladies Quartz Watch is a fantastic piece from the collection and has that touch of femininity and beauty for a price of £5,670 or with 36 monthly payments of £126 and a 20% deposit. The Chopard Imperiale Chronograph Watch, on the other hand, sheds that delicate style and displays a sleek yet robust look, all the while maintaining a feminine appeal.
Breitling Ladies Watches
Breitling is a name that is known for its association with the aviation industry – displaying this theme throughout the collection design. The ladies’ watches are no exception and add a unique twist to the recognisable Breitling watches collection. The Breitling Transocean Chronograph 38mm Ladies Watch sits nicely alongside the men’s collection whilst adding that feminine touch to the design. It is available today for £13,670 or with 36 monthly payments of £303.78 and a 20% deposit.
