Pretty and Powerful Women's Timepieces

by Roberta Naas | September 1, 2014 | Watches & Jewelry

Leading watch brands are answering the demands of Vegas women for mechanical timepieces that are both pretty and powerful.

1 - Pretty and Powerful Women's Timepieces

There’s a good reason why many of the world’s most distinguished watch brands are offering more and more mechanical timepieces for women. Among Swiss makers, women now account for 35 percent of sales, and they want more than just a pretty face: Most women find form and function equally seductive. By offering ladies’ watches with mechanical movements, the top brands ensure that every time a woman puts on her watch, it’s working. Generally, mechanical watches fall into two categories: self-winding (also referred to as automatic) and manual winding. As its name implies, a self-winding watch winds itself automatically, with the motion of the wearer’s wrist powering a mainspring that’s torqued to release energy consistently; the watch also has a power reserve to keep it running between wearings. In a manual-winding watch, the crown needs to be turned by hand to power the timepiece. Both types offer the wearer the assurance that hundreds of tiny components are working harmoniously inside that half-dollar-size case to keep time perfectly—making her watch pretty both outside and in.
