Cartier
Clé de Cartier
£20,000
The success of Cartier’s Clé watch collection can be attributed to its seductive silhouette based on a circular dial embraced by elliptical lugs. This 31mm white gold beauty is enhanced with diamonds on the bezel and offset with a vibrant fuchsia alligator strap. The dial, with its classic Cartier Roman numerals, features a central sunray pattern and a date window at 6 o’clock. In keeping with tradition, the hallmark blue sapphire cabochon on Cartier watches has been adapted to fit inside the key-shaped crown. The Clé collection is equipped with calibre 1847 MC - Cartier’s new automatic movement with a dual-direction winding system ensuring a steady power supply of 42 hours.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Grande Reverso Lady Ultra-Thin
£5,800
The world’s best-loved reversible watch is just one click away from your wrist. This Grande Reverso model comes in an ultra-thin case measuring just 7.2mm in height and features a slight curve that adapts beautifully to the contours of a woman’s wrist. The dial is decidedly feminine and has been decorated with a new guilloché technique, which creates an elegant pleated surface that reflects the light in all directions. Diamonds on the bezel and the vibrant alligator strap add a touch of femininity, while the reversible case is an open canvas for a personalised engraving.
Chopard
Imperiale 36mm
£9,170
Bring out the empress in her with this majestic rose gold and green tourmaline Imperiale watch available from Chopard’s e-boutique. The sophisticated architecture of the 36mm case - reminiscent of elements taken from classic Roman architecture - imbues these ladies' watches with a distinguished personality. The contrast between the warm rose gold and the rich dark green dial is eye-catching as are the green tourmaline gemstones set in the crown and lugs.
Hermès
Faubourg Manchette
£1,700
The new Faubourg Manchette watch is très Hermès and its wide leather cuff reminds us of the origins of Hermès as a saddle and harness maker. Available in a variety of colours, these watches for women with the hallmark orange colour we associate with Hermès, house a diminutive 19.5mm Swiss quartz watch with a white lacquered dial accented with a coquette diamond at 12 o’clock. The smooth calfskin cuff sits on the wrist like a second skin and gently tapers to the stirrup-shaped buckle.
Vacheron Constantin
Harmony Chronograph
£50,550, available at The Watch Gallery
At the top of the luxury ladder is the historic 260-year-old Swiss watchmaking company Vacheron Constantin, and this stunning chronograph ladies' watch from the Harmony collection is available online at The Watch Gallery. The distinctive cushion-shaped case of the Harmony collection was inspired by a vintage 1928 Vacheron watch and, in this 37mm rose gold version, has been set with diamonds. Equipped with a chronograph movement, elapsed times can be measured by the two pushers on the side of the case.
