While flowers are a lovely gesture, why not take it up a notch during this season of love, especially on the occasion of Women’s Day? After everything we've been through in the past few years, now is the perfect time to give a thoughtful and generous gift to celebrate the hope of better years to come. In addition to serving a practical purpose and showcasing exquisite craftsmanship, a luxury watch can be a meaningful present that symbolizes the time spent together in the past, present, and future.
However, it can be challenging to find the perfect item that captures the essence of your loved one. To help, we have compiled a few suggestions for your significant other.
Breitling Super Chronomat 38 Automatic
If you're looking for a gift for a sporty woman, the Breitling Super Chronomat 38 Automatic could be an excellent choice. This watch strikes a balance between durability and elegance, with its distinctive rider tabs and rouleaux bracelet. In addition, the bezel is decorated with lab-grown diamonds that are eco-friendly, and the watch comes with a choice of ice blue or soft green dials, along with matching ceramic crowns and bezel tabs to add a touch of femininity.
Chopard Alpine Eagle
The Chopard Alpine Eagle collection is designed as a sports watch, but the women's version is a more refined take on the genre. It's perfect for women who enjoy both the slopes of Gstaad and the dance floor of the nearby Palace Hotel. The 33mm case is crafted from ethically sourced 18k rose gold, while the bezel and bracelet are adorned with diamonds. The indexes are also diamond, bringing the total carat weight to just over half a carat.
Chanel Premiere
The Chanel Premiere, a long-standing favorite of fashion enthusiasts, features all the classic elements of the 1987 original, including the octagonal case reminiscent of the N°5 perfume stopper, a bracelet modeled after the interlaced leather and chain of the iconic quilted bag, and a beveled glass sapphire crystal. The upgraded version, which comes with a stylish yellow-gold case and an onyx dial, adds a contemporary touch to the timeless design.
Piaget Solstice
The Piaget Solstice ($147,000) appeals to art enthusiasts who value superior craftsmanship and the creative, pleasure-inducing craft of mixology. The Solstice's dial features lime slices and mint leaves against an engraved mother-of-pearl backdrop and was brought to life by the collaboration of Switzerland's leading female enameler, Anita Porchet, and Dutch master engraver Dick Steenman.
Patek Philippe Ladies’ World Time
Traveling through a chaotic and less glamorous world does not preclude you from flaunting the world's most prestigious world timer. The Patek Philippe Ladies' World Time is a constant reminder of the pinnacle of luxury, no matter where you are in the world. With an 18k rose gold case, a diamond-encrusted bezel, and a basket weave guilloché dial, this watch exudes sophistication and elegance.

This versatile and feminine timepiece is perfect for everything from daytime wear to formal evening soirées or cocktail parties.
Breguet Phase de Lune 9085
The Breguet Phase de Lune 9085 Valentine’s Day Edition offers a literal tribute to the annual celebration, complete with a red strap and ruby indexes that symbolize the color of love. For those who prefer a more subdued style, it also comes with a pearly white strap that matches the mother-of-pearl dial. The bezel and lugs are adorned with 66 diamonds, and it features the automatic caliber 537L, which displays hours, minutes, seconds, and the moon phase.
IWC Portofino
The Schaffhausen watchmaker, known for creating some of the sturdiest tool watches in the world, has masterfully crafted this understated and practical three-hand watch. The IWC Portofino has undergone recent enhancements, now sporting a sleek case design that is comfortably sized at 34 mm.
