One of the most special relationships to exist is between a mother and her child. From the time he is conceived, a mother does everything in her capacity to protect and nurture him. From being a pillar of care and support in his formative years to becoming his best friend in adulthood keeping all his secrets safe, there’s truly no one like a mom. And while mothers should be celebrated every day, each year, the second Sunday of May is commemorated as Mother’s Day to honour the sacrifices made by them for their families. Interestingly, this momentous feat was achieved in the early 1990s in the U.S. by the collaborative effort of a social activist’s daughter named Anna Jarvis, and the then president of the country, Woodrow Wilson. Since then, it is celebrated throughout the world; on this day, the children make efforts to make their mothers feel special by either cooking their favourite meals, taking them out for shopping, or gifting them something exceptional.
This Mother’s Day, if you too are contemplating what gift to bestow your mother with, look no further. Celebrate your mother by giving her a gift of time: a fabulous wristwatch. Whether your mom is a romantic at heart, a fashionista, or a fitness enthusiast, with a list of five timepieces—personifying these very qualities—to choose from, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a closer look at them.
A Timeless Watch For The Mom Rooted In Tradition
Nothing spells effortless elegance more than a simple three-hand timekeeper with a clean and clutter-free dial. Combine this with a precious metal case in gold and black leather strap, and you get a classic wristwatch. If your mother is a traditional, minimalist and believes in simplicity and structure, gift her a sophisticated dress watch to perfectly complement her personality. A timepiece that beautifully exemplifies these qualities is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Monoface with an iconic rectangular case. First launched in the 1930s, the collection Reverso Classic has a legendary heritage, making this piece all the more impressive. Encased in an 18-karat pink gold case measuring 21mm, this model exudes vintage charm effortlessly, making it ideal for your mom. The black transferred numerals on the white dial create a visual contrast, with a dash of muted glam brought to life by the gold hour and minute hands. It is a manual-winding mechanical timepiece that is powered through caliber 846/1.
Jewelled Watch For The Mom With A Dazzling Personality
Is your mom the showstopper at every event? Does she have a ‘more is more’ approach to jewellery? If you answered yes to those questions, then we have the ideal wristwatch for your mom matching her razzmatazz personality ‘brilliantly’. Featured here is the Brilliant Pavé Rose Gold 38mm model by Jacob & Co. It features over 900 diamonds spreading over the dial, case, crown, and pin buckle, exemplifying luxe and indulgence to the maximum. This particular piece is the result of the demanding pavé (paved in French) gem setting technique where the entire three-dimensional surface of the case is artfully covered with white diamonds, amounting to the total weight of 10.05 karat; it is a quartz watch which is powered through calibre JCGQ01. It will be a match in heaven for your mom who will not only own, but also celebrate her maximalist personality with this amazing timepiece.
For The Mom Who’s A Romantic At Heart
Among watches, one of the features that is considered synonymous with love is a moon phase indicator—usually located at six o’clock on the dial–used to display different phases of the moon. So, if your mom is a romantic at heart, with a soft spot for poems, you can gift her a watch with an astronomical moon phase complication, aligning perfectly with the romanticist in her. Introducing the stunning Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Mintnight, launched in 2023. This limited-edition of 18 pieces come in an 18-karat white gold case measuring at a compact 38mm, and set with 80 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel, crown, and lugs. Additionally, the buckle of this poetic complication is adorned with 22 diamonds, adding more sparkle to an already glittering specimen. The lower half of the dial and the moon are composed of bright ruthenium crystals, while the structures representing hills and waves are made of blue mother-of-pearl, turquoise, teal, and graduated mint green, hence the name, Mintnight. This manual-winding marvel beats at 21,600vph providing an autonomy of 90 hours, making it a perfect companion for your mom with its stunning appearance clubbed with functional attributes.
For The Outdoorsy Mom
If your mom can be described as an adrenaline junkie with an inclination to water sports, then this watch is definitely for her. The Superocean Automatic 36 by Breitling is a diver’s watch with its origins in the 1950s. With its robust structure encased in a 36mm steel case and a comfortable rubber strap, this model can accompany your mom to all her high-spirited adventures in and outside the water. The chunky hands and hour markers on its blue dial are filled with luminescent Super-LumiNova for easy readability underwater. Also, its uni-directional bezel—primarily meant for professional divers—offers great assistance to anyone who enjoys scuba-diving. This timepiece is run by calibre Breitling17, with a water resistance of up to 200m.
Design First For The Fashion-Forward Mom
Think of some of the most stylish timepieces and Serpenti by Bulgari comes to mind instantly. With its prominent design that can be spotted from a distance, it has taken over the hearts of many in the world. If your mom too is someone who likes to keep it trendy, then Serpenti (an Italian word for snakes) is the best choice for her. Seen here is the double spiral Bulgari Serpenti Spiga crafted in black ceramic and 18-karat rose gold materials. Encased in a 35mm curved case, it features diamonds on the sides of the bezel and a cabochon cut precious stone on the crown lending the watch an ultra-feminine appeal. Moreover, the gold hour markers and hands offset the otherwise even surface of the black lacquered polished dial for an enthralling effect; the model has quartz movement with water resistance of up to 30m. An amalgamation of bold, sultry, and elegant, it will be a gorgeous addition to your mom’s watch collection.
