A matter of time: 7 women’s watches to complete her collection

There’s a luxury watch for every woman – and these are Kennedy’s finest.

Women’s watches are more than a practical addition to a jewellery collection – they mark life’s milestones and are destined to be worn for countless memories to come. And just like the women who wear them, each luxury watch has its own charms. Here, Kennedy shares seven watches every woman should aspire to have in their collection. 

For her first luxury timepiece

As a trusted Swiss watchmaker with an elegant aesthetic and entry-level pricing, Longines watches are the perfect place to start. A refined-yet-relaxed women’s watch, the Longines Elegance Dolcevita is suited to minimalists. With a mid-sized, rectangular face, quartz dial and blued steel hands, the Elegance Dolcevita watch can be worn by day or by night, courtesy of its midnight blue accents and alligator strap. Plus, the stainless steel case, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and interchangeable strap will ensure this watch goes the distance.

For wearable, everyday elegance

An elevated take on the everyday watch, the Longines Primaluna is one of the most versatile women’s watches. The round silver-coloured dial and stainless steel bracelet are inspired by the silver glow of the moon on a spring night, making the watch an ideal starting point for the woman who wants to feel instantly put-together. The model’s self-winding mechanical movement also has a power reserve of up to 45 hours, so the reliable watch can be worn day in, day out.

For a pretty-in-pink statement

A daytime, luxury watch that’s anything but ordinary, the ZENITH DEFY Skyline stands out from the crowd. Powered by the Elite 670 automatic manufacture movement of ZENITH watches, the timepiece holds a 50-hour power reserve while being ultra-thin. The result is a high-performing watch that looks sleek and modern on the wrist. Offering a feminine take on the historically masculine watch, this model features a baby pink face, octagonal case and diamond-lined bezel. The timepiece is also sold with an interchangeable stainless steel bracelet and pink rubber strap, so the watch can effortlessly evolve from a dress watch to a sports watch.

For a transformative timepiece

When investing in luxury watches, don’t just consider your personal style but your lifestyle and social calendar, too. Fortunately, Jaeger-LeCoultre has done an impressive job of mastering the art of day-to-night timepieces. An instantly recognisable icon of the watchmaker, the Reverso collection features two faces on one reversible watch. In this model, the primary silvered dial is accented by sapphire-blue hands, while a flip of the face reveals a striking, deep purple dial made to complement eveningwear. The women’s watch is also decorated with a row of brilliant-cut diamonds on the north and south edges of the watch, and is finished with a bright blue leather strap.

For a timeless choice

For women who prefer a round face, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Classic Night & Day watch is a beautiful timepiece for day and show-stopping dress watch for night. With a diameter of 34mm, the medium-sized watch has a classic, future-proof fit. The stainless steel case is also circled by 60 diamonds, and encloses a silvered-grey face and engraved guilloché details. As the finishing touch, the watch also features a day and night indicator to cement the timepiece as a daily companion. 

For a delicate dress watch

A dazzling watch for after dark, Piaget’s Possession watch is a timepiece to lust after. Not only is the mother-of-pearl dial decorated with 11 brilliant-cut diamonds in place of numerals, the rotating, 18 karat rose gold bezel holds an additional 42 diamonds. Complemented by a thin lapis-blue alligator strap, this Piaget watch is a remarkable timepiece and a sophisticated addition to every woman’s wrist.

For a sentimental masterpiece

If you find yourself counting down the days, hours and minutes until cherished dates and special occasions, the Master Control Calendar from Jaeger-LeCoultre is the ultimate investment. The watch displays both the time and date, and reveals the moon’s phases and stars each night. In this model, the 40mm face, striking pink gold case and wearable brown leather strap also cultivate universal appeal – so the watch can be worn by anyone she loves for decades to come.
