Women’s watches in the spotlight watch
Whether technical sophistication, fine design or exclusive craftsmanship: fashionable wearers are on the look out for watchmaking highlights. Let us introduce you to three women’s watches which deserve the spotlight.

Franck Muller

Round Swiss Limited Edition

Ref. 7042BS6SQTD1CRDLTD5N-SQT

The Round Swiss Limited Edition by Franck Muller is one of those watches which is handed down from generation to generation. This timepiece, a most refined expression of the masterful art of watchmaking, is stunning thanks to both its inner and outer qualities. As a Franck Muller classic, the 7-day power reserve is a traditional feature. Wearers should be aware that this watch combines detailed craftsmanship and a groundbreaking mechanism.

The Round Swiss Limited Edition is limited to 28 pieces: a rare, classic masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie. The skeleton case is a striking detail: it is the quintessence of refined watchmaking and features red details as a tribute to Switzerland. As well as the seven day power reserve, the entire Round collection is equipped with a mechanical hand-wound movement. The mechanical movement, powered by two barrels, is accurately developed, manufactured and finished in the factory. The hand-forged bridges, an essential decorative element in fine watchmaking, are the result of long and attentive endeavour.

Wearers particularly appreciate the combination of 18-carat rose gold and the 197 brilliant-cut diamonds (2.79 carats) hand-set on the case. The crown hosts another 13 diamonds (0.09 carat): as glamorous as it can get. This timepiece looks particularly smart thanks to the red, hand-stitched alligator leather strap, perfectly matched to its red hands. Even the clasp could not be more elegant: made of 18-carat rose gold, it is hand-set with eight brilliant cut diamonds (0.06 carat).

Timeless design never goes out of fashion, and this watch proves it. Thanks to its classic and elegant design, the Prestige Quartz is an absolute favourite all around the globe, and has been for years. Stunningly stylish, its individual components boast the most refined craftsmanship. The iconic white mother-of-pearl dial exudes a very exclusive charm. An additional touch is provided by the simple beauty of the Roman numerals. It is powered by the quartz calibre 1376 housed in a 27.40 mm stainless steel case,  connected to a two-tone stainless steel and rose gold bracelet. An alluring combination for all those women who love the interplay of colours offered by different materials. The watch is water resistant to 30 metres and provides 48 months of battery life. However, above all, it is a loyal companion: the Prestige Quartz is a timepiece for stylish, self-confident women who also appreciate a touch of luxury in their everyday life, well aware of the fact that a watch is much more than just a fashion accessory. As well as a statement, the Prestige Quartz is a tribute to a trend in watchmaking which prefers a style allowing for both casual and formal wear.

Zenith

Elite Lady Moon Phase

Ref. 22.3200.692/01.C832

What does a refined yet essential beauty look like? Zenith’s Elite Lady Moon Phase is definitely an answer. As well as its technical features, the charm of this women’s watch lies in its wonderfully sophisticated and essential look. A stunning timepiece, especially when it comes to the details: ultra-thin and designed with soft lines, this watch hosts at its heart an automatic Elite calibre 692, entirely developed and manufactured by Zenith.

The movement is housed in a 36 mm case made of 18-carat rose gold and has a power reserve of more than 50 hours. The calibre 692 is made of 195 parts and only measures 3.97 mm. Moreover, this watch allows for the moon phases to be easily set. The mother-of-pearl dial features a stylised representation of the moon and stars, which presents as a playful detail on this otherwise refined timepiece. The dial is embraced by an 18-carat polished rose gold bezel, set with 75 diamonds for a total of 0.6 carats. A blue bracelet in fine alligator leather completes the look. The Elite Lady Moon Phase is a model suited for women who like to make an impression without sacrificing classic elegance. The perfect synthesis, which Zenith has always been able to achieve with its special pieces.
