Diamonds are optional for ladies
Ping,
I agree that gemstones are optional for ladies' watches.
On the other hand, through history, the best watches for MEN were decorated with the best arts like engraving, miniature enamel painting and gem-setting. That was the Golden Age.
Thus, I consider the mechanical merit first, then the design harmony of dial, hands and case; and finally, the decoration.
To this end, the Richard Mille RM19-02 Tourbillon Fleur made my personal "List" of Great Watches from 2015.
Not surprising as Mr Mille was CEO of Maubossin and knows a bit about ladies and jewels.
I like the cute mechanism for opening petals.
Regards,
MTF

Based on my experience (or my wife's taste) ...
She only own one watch with small diamonds as hour markers. She considers, and I agree with her, that too much bling is not necessary. Cheers and congratulations for another great post, Nilo
Great selection of watches
I'm sure many agree with that some writers at major editorials really don't know much about watches and what they're writing about. Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief ... Great article btw! Cheers, Anthony
I would love to gather several interesting watches and see...
...how much ladies like it (or not). Many women watches in the high end segment are men's which were downsized. It seems that since the last few years they make an effort to create exclusive ladies models, even more technical. There are classical and mode...
Well said
Of Forbes 15 Best Women's Watches, I was bewildered. There is too much going on in the way of color, and design. I don't care for overelaborate watches and most of the Forbes choices fall in that category. IMO, when a watch determines what you can or cann...
