From classic Cartier models to a Hermès bracelet, here are our favorite watches worth checking out.
Gone are the days when women's watches were graceful and almost jewel-like, as are the days when women looking for a utilitarian or technologically advanced watch were forced to turn to the finest men's luxury watches to satisfy their functional and aesthetic watch needs.
These days, top luxury watch brands (like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Vacheron Constantin) offer a variety of models that are crafted with the finest craftsmanship and are incredibly chic.
In other words, serious watch collecting is no longer the preserve of men. To start your collection, we offer you 22 timeless watches that are worthy of adding to any collection. And the best part? They are suitable for all occasions and needs, whether you are looking for a treasure to be kept as an heirloom, a showpiece for a party, or a simple everyday decoration.
