Feminine, chic, and sophisticated

Beautiful watches now allow women leaders to vamp on the board of directors as well as in the evening. Selection.
They are at the top of the social and professional pyramid. Their time is a precious commodity. Normal that they make a charming asset. More and more women are falling for fine watchmaking. Not necessarily crimped. Not systematically quartz. CHANEL selection.

J12 Chromatic

The Chanel J12 reinvents itself over the seasons. Yielding to the pastel trend, it displays here a powdery pink dial set with eight diamond indexes. Feminine, and sophisticated, it does not forget the preciousness with its bezel set with 53 diamonds. Discreet luxury and absolute elegance.

CHOPARD – Imperiale Two Tone

A reinterpretation of the famous model from the Chopard house launched in the 90s, the Imperial displays an alliance of simplicity and sophistication for a timeless look.

CARTIER – Walk of a Panther watch caliber 9603 MC

This piece is the expression of the current trend, which finally offers women the opportunity to combine their attraction to diamonds and their interest in beautiful mechanics. A gem-set panther – the heroine of the Cartier bestiary – obeys the movements of the wrist and walks on the dial. Far from being useless, it is in fact the oscillating weight that gives its energy to the self-winding movement entirely manufactured in-house. The 42 mm diameter case is made of white gold, the diamonds numbering 629 (6.9 carats).

PATEK PHILIPPE – Ladies First Perpetual Calendar référence 7140

PIAGET – Altiplano

A rose gold case set with diamonds, an immaculate mother-of-pearl dial, applied Roman numerals, and a small-rimmed eccentric second form a composition between sobriety and sophistication. Powered by the Manufacture Piaget 450P extra-thin mechanical movement, it reinvests the territory of extra-thin watches, elegant par excellence.

This movement is COSC chronometer certified. Brown dial, diamond indexes, and bezel set with diamonds.

HUBLOT – Tutti Frutti Tourbillon Pavé

Most often reserved for male models, the tourbillon takes place for the first time at Hublot in a women’s watch. Perhaps to prepare for the conference that Jean-Claude Biver, president of Hublot, will give on June 11 in Monaco in front of 60 businesswomen? The title of his lecture could be: “Women, a new strong sex”. An entire program. For the more daring among them, this orange model with a red gold case paved with 198 diamonds and a bezel set with 48 orange baguette sapphires.
