With men’s watches often stealing the limelight, watches for women can sometimes take a backseat for women. Some women mistake the significance a timepiece has to play in fashion, often clubbing it in the same category as jewellery. Watches, much like handbags and shoes, are true investment pieces that will elevate even the simplest ensemble.
But when picking out a watch for yourself, one must keep a few factors in mind. On occasions when you want to make a fashion statement with your watch, it is best to keep the glitzy and bold colours to only your wrist. On the other hand, when you wish to pull off a formal look, it would be ideal to tone it down, avoiding watches that are overtly flashy or blingy. Here’s looking at the best watches for women to suit every personality and occasion. You can have a diverse collection at your disposal to help build your wardrobe — something timeless like a Cartier watch, or something making a little bit more of a statement like a Bvlgari timepiece.

Bejewelled timepieces bring together the allure of fine jewellery and watches. Such watches usually feature precious stones and metal — think gold or platinum, diamonds, pearls, sapphires, and other gems or semi-precious stones — and are usually far more formal, upscale, expensive and exclusive in design and appeal. Some standout features include dial decorations that are ornate, with mother-of-pearl effects, which can be very fetching and add a patina of elegance to the watch.
