Women may like their watches with precious metals, rare gemstones, and diamonds, but the icing on the cake is a great movement inside the timepiece. Here are five exquisite watches for the modern-day queen. By Mitrajit Bhattacharya
1. Spirit Of Big Bang Rainbow Hublot
After the Big Bang last year, it’s now the Spirit of Big Bang’s turn to take on the colours of the rainbow. The soft shade of the case in King Gold dons the colours with a shimmering paving of round and baguette-cut gemstones. Sapphires, rubies, topazes, tsavorites, and amethysts cover the dial of the 39 mm model with sparkling reflections. INR 64,24,000
2. Reine De Naples Haute Joaillerie Breguet
At the heart of the Reine de Naples collection, this timepiece carries an iconic shape that wears an exquisite bracelet set with diamonds and sapphires. The dial displays a studied mix of natural mother-of-pearl, white gold, and diamonds. It shows the hours and minutes on a subdial in silvered gold set with diamonds. The aperture for the Moon can be seen at 12 o’clock with the power-reserve indicator. The diamonds in this jewellery watch total around 16 carats. Price on request
3. De Ville Trésor Omega
This new collection offers a diverse range of materials and colours. Each model is distinguished by its thin case, available in 39 mm or 36 mm sizes, with diamond paving that curves along each side. A single diamond is also set within the crown, This is included within a radiant flower, created from five OMEGA logos in red liquid ceramic. On each model, OMEGA has included a special mirrored caseback with a ‘Her Time’ design. INR 6,08,000
4. Elite Moonphase Zenith
Majestic in its tones and whimsical in its harmonious asymmetry, this collection brings out the enchanting beauty of the Moon. A midnight-blue circle on the lower half of the sunburst
pattern dial takes on the same tone as the moonphase disc, giving the impression
of an oversized display of the Moon and stars. A small seconds hand at 9 o’clock is an ode to the fleeting nature of time. INR 12,40,200
5. L’heure du Diamant Chopard
The L’Heure du Diamant creates a new and exquisite moment in time with eight new jewellery watches featuring hardstone and gemstone dials taking us back to the 1960s. The case is in 18k white gold and 30mm diameter, and crown in 18k white gold set with a briolette-cut diamond. The bezel is set with diamonds totalling four carats. There are dials in opal, turquoise, or lapis lazuli in the collection; the one featured here is a malachite dial matched with a green leather strap. Price on request
