Women’s watches at Baselworld 2016

From the voluptuous Bulgari to the classicism of Hermès, these five women’s watches have five very different personalities.

  • Dior VIII Grand Bal Coquette watch
    Stunning new women’s mechanical watches in the Dior VIII Grand Bal collection include this Coquette model, which dances away the hours in a sumptuous gown made from feathers, tsavorite garnets, sapphires and diamonds, waltzing against a blue lacquered dial (£25,500).
  • de GRISOGONO Retro Lady Baguette watch
    The new Retro Lady Baguette, with its distinctive rectangular case, is de GRISOGONO at its best, bursting with colour and texture thanks to the red baguette-cut rubies on the dial and case, the fuchsia SuperLumiNova numerals, and the matching bubbly galuchat strap (£109,100).
  • Hermes Slim d'Hermes watch
    Elegantly understated, the Slim d’Hermès watch reappeared this year with a resplendent Grand Feu white enamel dial. Like many watches on the market today, its proportions, coming in at 39.5mm in diameter, are designed to appeal to men and women alike (£14,500).
  • Patek Philippe Calatrava watch
    The ultra-thin Patek Philippe Calatrava watch received all the plaudits at Baselworld. The 33mm white gold case is set alight with 48 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel and houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, which you can view through a sapphire crystal caseback (£28,340).
  • Bulgari Divas Dream watch
    A new model from Bulgari’s Divas’ Dream collection caught my eye with its heavenly blue lapis lazuli dial and an unconventional way of displaying the time: a jumping hour display with retrograde minutes (£25,300).
