WHAT ARE THE BEST LUXURY WATCHES FOR WOMEN?

Gone are the days where Women could only wear jewellery and anything with diamonds on it, they are more than welcome to do that but they can also wear watches just as well as men. This is a great thing as watchmakers cater for a wider audience and a greater variety of wrist sizes too as a result of more women getting into horology. It’s also a great excuse to look into getting your partner a watch as a gift or even a ‘his and hers’ watch to celebrate a milestone in your lives. Regardless of the reason, we’re here to show you some of the best luxury watches for women from several different watch brands and at different price points. 

If we first look at a more entry level, the two bog brands to look at if you would like to purchase the watch new would be Tudor and TagHeuer. With their price points being between 1000 to 3000 USD you can find some phenomenal pieces from each of these brands for both classic or sports watches, they’ve got you covered. Looking at TagHeuer we have the option of their new 30mm Aquaracer and Carrera, the polished centre links and striking sunburst grooved dial gives the watch a very elegant yet sporty feel. Both of these can easily be worn in both a formal meeting and equally as well whilst swimming in a pool. For a slightly more elegant design, the ladies Carrera is a cleaner looking watch that has great heritage with high polished finishing on most of the watch. If a more elegant and formal look is what you're after, the TagHeuer Carrera 36mm could definitely be a good one to look at. With most of TagHeuer’s watches offering both automatic and quartz movement along with various dial colours with or without diamonds, you can select from such a broad range of options that you can be sure to find the perfect watch and model for you.

From Tudor we’ve got their all new classic Black Bay 54, an elegant vintage inspired dive watch with tones of rose gold and with a case size of 37mm making it very friendly for slimmer wrists. The BB54 has a great bracelet with a glidelock system to allow you polenta of adjustability on the go which is excellent if you are more active. This really is a watch that has huge amounts of history, heritage and a great design, you can be confident that the Black Bay 54 will never go out of style. Another excellent option is Tudor Royal with case sizes as small as 28mm available. The sunburst dials to choose from, polished finishing and fluted bezel really makes it a perfect one-watch collection as it is both sporty and dressy.

Increasing the price point a bit more to the 6000 Dollar range and you can look at Omega. The Aqua Terra is a superb all-rounder and with so many new releases in the line, you have the ability to choose your perfect size and colour. Elegant in its design with sporty features, it's a do-it-all watch with brushed and polished finishing, elegant lugs and a stunning dial. The specifications are hard to beat for the money, with 150m water resistance, 70 hours power reserve and a resistance to 15,000 Gauss, you can wear this with a dress for dinner as easily as you could in the swimming pool!

With a higher budget, Rolex watches are some of the most popular choices amongst female wearers as seen by celebrities and it's easy to see why. Both brands are classics and have designs that have been labelled iconic for all the right reasons. From Rolex, models such as the DateJust, Daydate, Yachtmaster and even the Submariners are the most elegant and popular. All models feature polished centre links and a high polished finishing to make for a more formal looking watch, apart from the Submariner which offers a more practical watch for those who live an active lifestyle or prefer subtlety. There has been a huge increase in recent years of women wearing more sports watches and larger case sizes so Rolex really is an excellent brand to look at as you can have both 28mm dainty watches as well as some of the best sports watches ever made

The rotor moves freely left and right which keeps winding up the power reserve, but instead of actually manually winding it, the rotor winds it when you move your wrist. Thanks to gravity on earth, watch makers realised you could use kinetic energy to power your Omega watch so you only have to wind your watch up when you take your watch off for an extended period of time. Both Omega sport and classic watches feature this however there are a few models that don’t.

Perhaps one of the most elegant and classiest watchmakers of them all, Cartier, offer iconic timepieces that look incredible in every situation. With the French brand having made some of the finest jewellery and watches, the Cartier Tank, Ballon Bleu, Panthere and Santos have been a huge success amongst female watch wearers. Celebrity names like Princess Diana, Megan Markel and Michelle Obama all have sported the famous Cartier Tank as their main watch and it’s easy to see why. Cartier’s iconic rectangular shape, striking dials with roman numerals and options of metals and straps really have enabled the Tank to become a versatile piece. Prices vary massively but if you are not set on brand new then second hand is an excellent choice to look at for Cartier because much like the Porsche 911, all of Cartier’s watches have g=had minimal change over the years so you can get a solid gold Panthere for around 10,000 USD whilst new you would be looking at over 30,000 USD. 

There are far too many watch brands to name that make excellent watches for women and all different levels of price point. We have looked at some of the most popular models from various household name brands to give you a great starting point if you’re looking for a watch within the female watch market. The watches mentioned above have great brand heritage, classic styles and different price points giving you the best options to choose from depending on what you prefer.
