Women's Watches
How to choose a women's watch?
Four criteria guide your choice: case size, style, movement and material. As for size, 28 to 34 mm remains the reference for a classic look; 36 to 40 mm has become the choice for a bolder style. The jewellery style (gold, diamonds, mother-of-pearl) suits evening outfits, the classic steel or two-tone fits daily wear, and the connected or sports watch suits active use. For movement, quartz offers simplicity and precision, automatic appeals to watchmaking enthusiasts. For materials, steel is versatile, gold marks exceptional pieces, and a diamond-set bracelet adds evening sparkle.
Which women's watch for which profile?
- First purchase / gift → quartz 32 mm classic steel watches
- Office and stylish daily wear → automatic classic or two-tone
- Evening outfits → jewellery model in gold and diamonds
- Sporty → sports watch or connected watches
- Bold style → oversized case 36 mm and above
- Water sports → diving watch, 200 m water resistance
The Auberi insight: since 2024, cases over 34 mm have accounted for nearly 6 out of 10 sales for women, the trend toward bolder watches is here to stay.
Frequently asked questions
What case size should a woman choose?
Choice depends on wrist size and desired style. For a classic look, stick to 28-34 mm. For a bolder style or a larger silhouette, 36-40 mm works best. Measure your wrist: the watch should not extend beyond the wrist bone.
Quartz or automatic for a woman?
Quartz suits everyday wear with no fuss: accuracy, minimal upkeep, accessible price. Automatic appeals to watchmaking enthusiasts: visible mechanism, long lifespan with servicing. For a first purchase or a gift, quartz remains the safe choice.
Can I try a watch in your boutique before buying?
Yes, our boutiques in Nice and Monaco let you try on every model in stock. Our advisors adjust the bracelet and check the proportion on the wrist. For references that are not in stock, a special order can be arranged.
Can I have a watch engraved as a gift?
Yes, case-back engraving is possible on most models: first name, date, short dedication. Allow a few additional days before delivery. Our workshop verifies compatibility with the brand's warranty.
How do I care for a diamond-set watch?
Avoid impacts and chemical products (perfume, cream, chlorine). Regular cleaning with a soft cloth keeps the stones bright. Our watchmaking workshop offers an annual setting check to verify prong tightness.
