Ladies’ Watches: you will choose function or fashion?

Throughout history, designing ladies’ watches
have been a great challeng to watch makers, for the watches not only need
to appeal to women, but also not overwhelm a woman’s wrist in manufacturing.
This is not such a problem for women who prefer a chunky, functional sports
watch, but many complications had to be surrendered to reduce the space that the
movement took up when designing watches to be worn as fashion items as well as timekeepers.

Mostly, ladies’ watches over the years have developed into clean,
simple designs that focus on the elegance that a watch can possess as it sits on
a wrist. Changes were instead made to the shape of the dial and case, and to
colours for the wrist strap and dial itself.

There are two types comes to Ladies’ fashion watches.

fashion watch is made by a watch house of which contains a mechanical
movement. Size is dictated to a certain degree by the movement placed inside the
watch, and so the biggest difference between a men’s watch and a ladies watch
will often be the materials and dial.These watches are usually slightly smaller
than the men’s ranges to account for women’s more delicate wrist.

Another type is that delicate watches produced by fashion parties themselves,
which often have quartz mechanisms allowing for the small dials that they
usually have. Expensive case materials and luxurious straps accent diamonds
placed in the dial and the case itself. Fashion houses such as Chanel and Gucci
sell watches like this to accompany bags, clothing, and even perfume.

Take an example, Cartier watches have a fine balance between simplicity and
extravagance. Rolex‘s ladies’
watches often have diamonds embedded in the case surrounding the dial, which can
turn an ordinary-looking watch into something fit to be worn at the most
prestigious of occasions. Although diamonds are often seen as the symbol of
luxury, many Cartier watches have few or no diamonds at all. Instead, the square
dial in a gold or white gold case shows tasteful refinement, and is instantly
recognisable as the brand it is.

Making a ladies’ watch has often
been considered a challenge, but as watch movements have been put forward and
become smaller over this years, this challenge has been decreased somewhat. Now
it is possible to buy a ladies’ watch from all major watch houses that will
flatter the wrist and complement for an evening gown.
