Round-Up10 Fantastic Timepieces for the Women of Today

Ever since the iconic march, where 15,000 women walked the streets of New York City demanding voting rights, equal pay and shorter working hours, International Women’s Day (8^th of March) has been a day wherein we celebrate the power of sisterhood. Since then, the day is marked with celebrations across the globe bringing together women of all age, colour, caste and creed.

Keeping this in mind, this year we at The Watch Guide have decided to celebrate women by bringing together a list of top 10 watches for the women of today. From technical masterpieces (who said women are only interested in the design of a watch) to aesthetic timepieces, we have it all. Additionally, to make it easier for you to make the right choice that suits your personal style, we have divided the watches into three basic categories: ladylike, modern and classic. Each category comprises of watches that represent the same theme.

So here are our top 10 favourite picks for the wonderful occasion of celebrating women from all walks of life.

1. Ladylike: A Lady’s First Choice

A lady is always on the lookout for dainty details that tell a story. Our top picks for this category consist of watches that give off a subtle sparkle combined with slight silhouettes. From the Carl F. Bucherer Pathos Diva to the Omega Constellation, we have made sure that each watch helps round up your feminine wardrobe easily. We also hope it aids in adding a delicate and minimal touch to your entire look.

Carl F.  Bucherer Pathos Diva: For the Lady In You

Rightly called a “Prima Donna’s first choice”, the Carl F. Bucherer Pathos Diva is an exquisite timepiece that does not make any compromises. From technical excellence to aesthetic appeal, the Pathos Diva brings together the world of jewellery and watches with utter elegance and finesse. Basking in a minimalistic glow, the Pathos Diva features an immaculately designed stainless steel case.

What is unique about this watch? The characteristic aureole in a “filigree grid” design featured on the side of the case. This characteristic design mirrors a myriad of reflections when light hits the surface transforming it into a divine piece of horology.

The Carl F. Bucherer Pathos Diva is powered by an automatic CFB 1963 calibre movement that clocks in a power reserve of 38 hours. Equipped with sapphire crystal protection on both sides along with a water-resistance of up to 30m, the Carl F. Bucherer Pathos Diva is a tough watch despite its elegant and graceful aesthetics.

Omega Constellation Small Seconds: Keeping Time In Style

A Baselworld 2016 marvel, the Omega Constellation Small Seconds is part of the ever-evolving Constellation collection. Equipped with a Master Chronometer movement, the Omega Constellation Small Seconds delivers equally on the technical and aesthetic fronts. Stainless steel and 18k red gold combine perfectly in the 27mm case. Adding more glamour to the essence of the watch is the white pearled mother-of-pearl dial surrounded by a diamond-paved bezel.

What makes this watch special is the small details on the extravagant dial. From the small seconds function at 9 o’clock marked unusually by four diamond markers, a seamlessly placed circular date window at 6 o’clock, encased within an 18k rose gold ring, indices marked by diamonds encased within 18k rose gold rings, to the 18k rose gold hour, minute and seconds hands; all the elements come together to give us a stunning piece of horology.

The Baselworld 2016 Omega Constellation Small Seconds is priced at Rs 685,200.

Titoni Airmaster: A Must-Have Heritage Watch

With a mission to bring a 97-year old history and tradition of watchmaking to your wrist, the Titoni Airmaster Ladies like its male counterpart, is a gem of a timepiece. It is available in a simple and sophisticated white dial encased in an immaculately designed 27mm stainless steel case. The dial features a combination of Roman numerals and precious stones to display time.

While one glance at the dial does take your breath away, what really makes this watch special is the stainless steel bracelet. Perfectly sized, the binding steel and ion plated gold finish bracelet is designed to perfection, wrapping your wrist snugly and comfortably.

2. Modern: Trail-Blazing Timepieces of the Future

While a majority of women would love getting their hands on an elegant timepiece, there is also a huge majority of women who prefer quirky watches. The style graph is leaning towards a more fun and bold persona, and it’s no wonder that the market for modern-looking quirky timepieces has taken center-stage. From the edgy Movado Edge to the fun and fabulous Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse, keep your wrist style up-to-date with watches featuring unexpected detailing and avant-garde designs.

Movado Edge: A 3D-Engineering Marvel

Since its introduction, the Movado Edge has been making waves in the fashion circle. A modern take of the classic “Museum” dial, the Movado Edge is designed in collaboration with world famous industrial designer Yves Béhar who has worked with industry giants like Apple, Prada and Google.

The Movado Edge for women conveys the message of “fashion-forward” from the get-go. Having an unconventional and futuristic minimal design (a trend making a steadfast growth), the dial of the watch houses three-dimensional sculpted ridges. Every touch of light beckons a beautiful transition of the dial as we know it. Each ridge on the dial is a representation of the passing of time and the inspired solitary polished raised dot at 12 o’ clock gives off an impression of it floating in space.

Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse: For the Fun and the Fabulous

The Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse rightfully personifies a woman of mischief, spontaneity and charisma. Dedicated to the woman who always gets what she wants, the Petite Promesse has everything a modern woman would want in her watch. Known for their “petite” ladies watches since the 1920s, the Baume & Mercier Petite Promesse rightly embodies the brand’s expertise in creating beautiful watches for women.

Measuring in at just 22mm, the “Petite” Promesse perfectly captures the playful combination of style and elegance. The polished steel elliptical case features a mother-of-pearl dial partially surrounded by 22 brilliant-cup, Top-Wesselton (VS, 0.16ct) diamonds. Attached to a bright blue leather wrap-around strap, the watch exemplifies a young and vibrant appeal. Dedicated to the young and vibrant women of today, the Petite Promesse is a watch with a little sparkle and a lot of panache!
