« Nice eye-catcher for you »
Feminine wristwatches express your personality and should be one thing above all: individual. With our top 5 of the special ladies’ watches, we show how you can escape the taste of the masses with unique eye-catchers. Whether dancing diamonds, triangular cases or sculptural geometry – get ready for eye-catchers in a class of their own.
Chopard Happy Diamonds
When it comes to special watches for women, Chopard plays in the top league with its Happy Diamonds collection. The term “Happy” refers to the moving diamonds on and next to the dial: First introduced in 1976, the design, in which the diamonds move happily between two sapphire crystals, still causes a stir today. The wearer decides how opulently the playful feature comes into its own when she chooses her collection:
- Happy Diamonds Icons: The special series puts delicate lines in the foreground and catches the eye in two ways. Firstly by the dancing diamonds themselves, secondly by the transparent effect. The jewels do not move directly above the dial, but circle around the dial seemingly weightlessly above a transparent ring. Every model guarantees luxury because instead of stainless steel, only 18-carat white or rose gold is used as the case material.
- Happy Diamonds Joaillerie: As the most luxurious Happy Diamonds sub-collection, the Joaillerie comes up with a particularly lavish diamond insert. A prime example is the Ref. 209437-5601: two rings of majestically set diamonds frame the dial and the dancing jewels. understated? Not here. The ref. 204445-1006, which brings rubies to the dance floor alongside diamonds, is also in a class of its own.
- Happy Diamonds Oval: Your name already reveals the essential character trait. Instead of circular cases and dials, this Happy Diamonds relies on special oval, vertically stretched shapes for a graceful look. An elegant classic is the red gold ref. 204305-5301.
Hamilton Ventura S
First introduced in 1957 and made famous on the wrist of the King of Rock’n’Roll, the Hamilton Ventura is one of the great watch designs of the 20th century. But not only Elvis Presley fell in love with the triangular pioneer of quartz technology: To this day, the exotic look of the Ventura watch lovers worldwide is captivated and knows no comparison. Anyone looking for special wristwatches for women should focus primarily on the Ventura S Quartz: While the large turbine-look crown and the wider design create a more powerful appearance compared to the classic Ventura, the dimensions of 34.50 x 38.00 mm are found a good middle ground between a clear presence and easy portability on the female wrist.
The Ventura S stands out, but never in a flashy or otherwise negative way. Anyone who sees the piece of jewelry becomes curious and assumes that its wearer must be an interesting person. For this reason, the Ref. H24251391 is our favorite model: Instead of distracting from the core of the watch with bright colors, the Ventura S uses subtle silver on the dial and a white strap, so that the viewer’s complete focus is on the iconic case shape. The longer you look at the watch, the more special it looks.
Hublot Big Bang One Click Sang Bleu
After seven years of success, the Hublot Sang Bleu collection is now also becoming iconic: Created in collaboration with the Swiss star tattoo artist Maxime Plescia-Büchi, it places three-dimensional geometry in the foreground and calls conventional watch designs into question. Not restraint, but extroverted luxury “In Your Face” is the motto of the complex, faceted series.

The Hublot Big Bang One Click 39mm collection contains several special watches for women, which enables a quick bracelet change at the push of a button and in the Sang Bleu King Gold Pavé (Ref. 465.OS.1118.VR.1704.MXM18) its probably most prestigious face disclosed. 180 diamonds totaling 0.45 carats adorn the solid, special King Gold case and are supplemented by 96 additional diamonds (1 carat) on the bezel. The legibility of the dial, which instead of traditional hands encompasses two triangles (hour and minute) in rotating squares, is not the primary focus of the Sang Bleu. Rather, one should regard the high-end ladies’ watch as a wearable work of art that conveys the sophisticated and extraordinary taste of its owner to the outside world. In everyday life, the sculpture scores with 100 meters of water resistance, which effectively shields the HUB 1710 automatic movement with a 50-hour power reserve from the outside world.
Junghans Form Ladies
There are good arguments why the Junghans Form Damen embodies the very opposite of the Sang Bleu: Extreme simplicity in the Bauhaus tradition, reduction to (less than) the essentials and no sparkling diamonds. Above all, the Ref. 047/4853.00 with a white dial and white indices, which at first glance reveals only three hands and a date, understands the art of minimalism.
“Why”, you will ask yourself, “is this inconspicuous Junghans on the list of eye-catchers?” Firstly, the simplicity of the Black Forest quality instrument catches the eye, secondly, it unfolds its full strength in combination with different outfits. Whether casual, festive or colorful – this watch always cuts a harmonious figure. The simplicity that characterizes the dial continues in the 7 millimeter flat stainless steel case and the leather strap. As an entry-level watch, the Junghans Form ladies offers excellent quality standards at affordable conditions: From the sapphire crystal to the quartz caliber J645.36, the ladies’ watch is characterized by high quality “Made in Germany”. Women who prefer elegant design with subtle finesse instead of a conspicuous eye-catcher factor will be happy with this shapely beauty.
Special Italian: U-Boat Classico 30 Lady
The U-Boat Classico 30 Lady by the Italian designer Italo Fontana follows a different philosophy: Exotic accents, above all the left-hand crown with locking clip, but no oversize in the tradition of many other U-Boat models characterize the models. 30 millimeters cut a confident figure on delicate wrists and is easily enough to make the other specialties of the Classico 30 Lady visible. Above all, the dial layout deviates from the crowd: Only the numerals 4, 8 and 12 are Arabic and at the same time set with diamonds, which gives the otherwise not lavishly decorated piece of jewelery a certain glamor factor.
The choice of dial color determines how striking the U-Boat presents itself: while black mother-of-pearl (Ref. 8899) is particularly classy and tends to be reserved, pink (Ref. 8898) catches the eye with clichéd femininity. In our opinion, the aquamarine editions (Ref. 8900), whose shade of blue is bursting with vibrancy, are particularly special wristwatches for women. All dials are made of mother-of-pearl, which is underlined by the proud inscription “Mother of Pearl” above the six o’clock position. Functional bonus: A small date display at nine o’clock.
