The best women’s watches of 2018 – from Richard Mille’s art deco ‘talisman’ to Panthere de Cartier
Timepieces by Graff, Breguet, Patek Philippe, Montblanc, Harry Winston, Jaquet Droz and Chaumet also caught the eye
This year’s ladies’ watches offered a lot more than just sparkle and shine.
From complications that nod to the vast and beautiful universe to numerous feminine interpretations of the tourbillon, here is a round-up of our favourite ladies’ timepieces of 2018.
Richard Mille RM 71-01
Richard Mille charmed the ladies this year when it launched its first automatic tourbillon in its women’s timepiece, the RM 71-01 Automatic Tourbillon Talisman.
There are 10 different variations of the watch, including white-gold or red-gold cases, and dials with mother-of-pearl, onyx and diamonds.
Designed by Cecile Guenat, the ladies’ collection director at Richard Mille, the pieces are heavily inspired by art deco and elements of tribal art.
The timepiece is meant to be seen and worn like a modern talisman for today’s modern woman.
It is driven by the brand’s eighth in-house movement, the calibre CRMT1, which offers 50 hours of power reserve.
