GALLERY - Ladies First

March 2015

We are used to hearing about ‘ladies’ watches’, as if a watch for women should be as worthy and dignified as a ‘Lady’. But watchmaking, when it approaches women’s territory with an open mind, can shed its rigid masculine straitjacket, allowing colours to explode, shapes to transform and leaving lines free to wander. The future of watchmaking depends on it getting in touch with its feminine side.
