Ladies Watches

A SIMPLER three-hand version of Patek Philippe's Nautilus sports watch is also made available with just a touch of bling. Clad in white gold case and bracelet, the 5713/1 wears a very modest 1.4 carats worth of diamonds on its bezel.

Zenith, a brand usually associated with sporty men's watches, would like you to consider this ladies' black mother of pearl auto with a touch of diamonds. It's also a very wearable 34mm for the Asian wrist.

Audemars Piguet's Millenary Pianoforte Watch recalls a piano's keys in contrasted mother-of-pearl, which houses the brand's Calibre 3120 self-winding movement. Case, lugs, bezel and dial are set with almost three carats of diamonds. Caviar anyone?

Ebel recalls this most indulgent of fish roe with a very limited 10-piece edition of their Beluga line in which the black pearls are the stars of the dial. It's matched with a galuchat strap and wrapped up in a 3.8-carat swathe of white and black diamonds.

Van Cleef & Arpels' Fleurette offers flowers to the ladies by surrounding a square or rectangular black lacquer dial with diamonds set in a delicate floral theme.

This year, we are proud to present yet another two elegant creations from the House of Cartier's Cartier Libre collection - an area where their artisans are given a completely free hand to express their creativity. The first result, the Noeud watch, recalls a very Japanese obi knot tied at the waist of what gaijins call a Happy Coat, and it displays time horizontally rather than vertically.

Another example, the fan-shaped Froissee, spills out onto the right side of its satin strap. Pleats of brilliant diamonds surround a triangular dial, which in turn puts forth only the Roman numeral 'three' to define exactly where the owner should get her bearings for the time.

Cheers!
