Four Watches For Mother’s Day

This year will not be a Mother’s Day as usual. In many countries, people can’t take their mother out for lunch or even visit her due to the restrictions concerning the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet that doesn’t mean that Mother’s Day 2020 is canceled. There are still many ways in which we can surprise our mothers, and perhaps now is the perfect time to treat her on a very special watch, to underscore not only how you feel about her, but also the importance of time, especially time shared together. One of the following four watches might be the perfect option:

Hublot Classic Fusion Eden Rock
While we would have loved to take our mother to the legendary Eden Rock – Saint Barths, we can still give her a piece of this paradise on earth. Hublot teamed up with the iconic hotel for a very special limited edition of the Classic Fusion. Surrounded by a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds sits a white lacquered dial with ruby hour markers. This is perfectly matched by a white alligator strap, with a comfortable rubber lining and red stitching. All combined, it makes for a watch that is sure to impress mother.

Rolex Day-Date 36
While initially conceived as a men’s watch in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date has, over the years, also captivated women. With a diameter of 36mm, it is perfect to grace a women’s wrist, especially when fitted with a diamond-set bezel and a stunning dial made of pink opal with diamonds on the hour markers. It makes for a very expressive watch that is elegant and sportive at the same time – The perfect everyday companion for mother, no matter what kind of activity she has on the agenda for the day ahead.

Breguet Reine de Naples 8918
Breguet just released a stunning addition to their Reine de Naples collection. It is the very first time that they fit the watch with a dial made of white grand feu enamel. Painted with Arabic numerals in a bright blue enamel does it make for quite an eyecatching piece, especially combined with its matching blue alligator strap. Diamonds can not only be found on the bezel, dial, and crown but also the folding buckle of this exceptional watch, making it a very precious gift to mother in every way possible.

F.P. Journe Elégante
When a man like François-Paul Journe makes a quartz-powered watch, you know that it has to be something special. It is fitted with a mechanical motion detector, which is visible on the dial between four and five o’clock, which switches the movement in a standby mode when the watch hasn’t moved for 30 minutes. When worn daily, the battery life is 8 to 10 years, and in standby mode, the élégante has an autonomy of an astonishing 18 years. As is one of his hallmarks, does Journe also craft most of this movement out of gold. This exceptional caliber is captured in a 40mm large platinum case set with 315 diamonds in addition to 72 rubies. There are even more precious gemstones on the dial, where 217 rubies make up the center, surrounded by 163 colorless brilliant-cut diamonds.
