It took a few years of navel-gazing and re-evaluating what a watch was truly for, in the mid 1980’s a few forceful and inventive characters in the industry came back with a design philosophy and marketing programme that brought the sectore back from the brink. These horological pioneers decided that watches would not merely be timekeepers, they would be mini-masterpieces that showed extreme craftsmanship, represented tradition, incorporated technology and embraced innovation. They would effectively be a Savile Row suit, Ferrari sports car, Mayfair members club and Nasa Spaceship rolled into one package that could sit neatly on your wrist. A watch is one of the items that a man can wear that he belives displays true character and he can indulge in a little dose of extravagance without, generally drawing criticism. Watches are the acceptable face of male Jewellery. Women on the other hand – Nothing adds more sparkle to a lady’s timepiece than a scattering of diamonds or crystals. In fact a vast number of contemporary ladies watches now come with a choice of gemstones on the bezel, case and bracelet or as indexes. There’s no need to reserve such timepieces for evening wear either, as a diamond watch looks just as fabulous with a pair of jeans as it does with a ball gown. Theres nothing like a touch of colour to put you in a good mood, so if you need a little pepping up, how about a bright timepiece in shocking pink?  Think statement pieces that feature oversized gems, overtly complex designs and dimensions that bring the idea of a mountain rather than just a rock to mind. Women want to continue spoiling themselves with gorgeous Jewellery but, they’re looking for timepieces that show off who they are and individual personalities.
