Richard Mille is known for its technically advanced models, but that doesn't exclude that its creations cannot be elegant. The RM 037 already proved this point previously and does so again in its latest interpretation. This time Mille choose a white ceramic to highlight the smooth lines of the tonneau case. Combined with a white rubber strap, does it give the RM 037 a new sense of purity. It has a certain elegance to it, yet also doesn't deny its sportive DNA.

Van Cleef & Arpels has a long-standing tradition when it comes to fairies. Already in the early 1940s did the brand made clips featuring these magical figures, which represent hope and joy. One of the signature features was that a rose-cut diamond formed the head, above which a headdress further marked their magical appearance. Van Cleef & Arpels introduced these fairies on their watches in 2007 with the first Lady Féerie watch, of which now a new model is joining the collection.

One trend that remained in 2020 is that ladies' watches are no longer smaller men's watches with diamonds. More and more brands continued to strengthen their line-up in this category, often with vast amounts of creativity. The quartz movements are also not the standard anymore, as mechanical movements are becoming increasingly more popular in this category. The following watches are among our favorites of this year.

In 1999, Patek Philippe surprised the world with the Twenty~4, a stylish manchette-style wristwatch for ladies only. In this watch, inspired by Art Deco design, Patek Philippe combined two materials rarely seen together in their collection; stainless steel with diamonds. Launched with three different colored dials, the Twenty~4 was an instant hit.

Measuring 14 mm in length, 4.8 mm in width, and at just 3.4 mm thick is caliber 101 a gem of a movement that weighs just a gram. It was created in 1929 to be fitted in the petite ladies' watches that were in fashion at the time. What makes this

That Hublot loves art is something that has already been established. The brand has teamed up with some of the most well-known and celebrated artists from around the world to bring their unique style into the port-hole design that made Hublot such an icon. Next to Richard Orlinski and Romero Britto is also Marc Ferrero among them. The French artist teamed up with Hublot for the second time, creating two watches around what is arguably his most well-known work, 'Lipstick.'

Vacheron Constantin is a brand that not only has a serious reputation to uphold when it comes to mechanical masterpieces but also in the world of diamond-set watches they are a force not to reckon with. Throughout their entire history, they have created watches in which diamonds and other gemstones played the glamorous lead role. Most notably was the Kallista collection from the late 1970s and early 1980ss, which were all about diamonds and the most expensive wristwatches of their time. With the Égérie Moon Phase Jewellery does Vacheron Constantin continue this tradition in a dazzling way.

Flowers have been a source of inspiration for jewelry since the beginning of time. Centuries ago, skilled goldsmiths already worked gemstones and gold into creations that resembled their natural counterparts. In watches, this is less common, because it is far more challenging to integrate the beauty of a flower within an object that is limited in its dimensions and also has another function to full fill. Of course, this didn't stop a fair amount of brands from pursuing this avenue and say it with flowers.

The time that ladies watches where smaller men's watches with diamonds added is long gone. Today they often unite several different crafts into a single creation, being a driving force of the Métier d'arts and quite frequently powered by sophisticated, mechanical movements. In some form follows function, yet always with an elegant touch, while others do it the other way around. This makes the world of women's watches so incredibly diverse, as perhaps even more with men's watches are the only boundaries the imagination and capabilities of the maker. That this result in exceptional watches was also proven this year with these stunning creations;

Diamonds on a ladies' watch are not a necessity, but in most cases, they do add something special. Even when only a few are used, their fire and scintillation make such a watch, especially in certain light conditions, truly stand out. While some diamond set ladies watches take on the mantra, the more, the merrier, others are more restrained in their approach. Here are for of those watches that are truly fit for a dame

What looks like a tennis-bracelet with a twist is one of the most exquisite watches in the world. While it's diamond setting is impressive, it is what is hidden that makes this creation so exceptional. Underneath the diamond-set leaf, there is a small dial telling the time most discreetly. In most cases, such a tiny watch is powered by a quartz movement, but not this Jaeger-LeCoultre. In fact, it houses a mechanical movement that was developed 90 years ago.

A refined mechanical movement, preferably fitted with an exciting complication; for a long time, this was nearly non-existant within a ladies watch. A quartz-powered smaller version of a men's watch, usually with some diamonds added, was how many of them looked. But fortunately, times change, and these days there are more and more interesting ladies watches with beautiful movements, some even purposely made for them. The following four watches most certainly set the pace in this category.

Jaeger-LeCoultre has a reputation for creating impressive watches. Usually, they do this with mechanical masterpieces, watches in which their technical nature takes center stage. But the brand has more skills than just making excellent mechanical calibers. With the new Dazzling Rendez-Vous Moon, they display one of them; setting diamonds with meticulous precision.

Diamond-set watches come in several different varieties. Some are simply the luxurious siblings of similar watches which are not set with these precious stones, while others were created from the start with diamonds in mind. In most cases, they have to share the limelight with a complicated movement, but there is a category of watches that only has one goal; to let the diamonds take center stage.

Roger Dubuis has always had a strong drive to innovate, not only in a technical but also in an aesthetic sense. This means that they need to think outside the box in all different dimensions and keep their eyes open to new materials, but also new applications of existing materials. With the Excalibur Blacklight, they took the lab-grown sapphire crystals, commonly used in the watch industry as the 'jewels' or 'rubies' which are used inside the movement as bearings for the gears and other parts that are prone to wear, and applied them in a completely different way.

It has been well documented that dark blue hues and navy shades are a popular choice within luxury watches. But what about on the more vibrant side of the blue spectrum? For something a little different, here are some fresh turquoise timepieces just in time for the colorful summer season.
