Finding a luxury women’s watch under 5,000 euros is possible – from Chanel and Cartier to Jaeger-LeCoultre and
No need to break the bank to buy someone or yourself a watch that is considered respectable by purists. Large factories, young brands and luxury brands are thinking of those who are on a budget… but also like beautiful pieces.
Among the bestsellers of prestigious Swiss brands, iconic models remain a safe bet. These emblematic watches are also objects of emotion that parents can easily pass on to their children. As true collector’s items, they never get old. Timeless, classic and chic – they carry within them the essence of the brand that built them.
For those who want their share of the great history of watchmaking, “entry-level” pieces are added to the collections. Whether they have become iconic due to their shape (Cartier’s Tank, Bulgari’s Serpenti or Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso), their technical performance (Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual) or their sporty chic style (Chopard’s Happy Sport), they’re among the top timepieces that collectors are snapping up. These watches, which everyone dreams of and whose prices are soaring in auctions, are revisited with steel, a material much cheaper than gold which reduces the overall price. Sometimes, men’s best-sellers are restyled to better suit women’s wrists in terms of look and size. For customers who focus less on mechanics, some brands also offer models powered by a quartz movement, which require much less work and are therefore cheaper than other ultra-complex models.
Picky fashionistas will easily draw from the watch collections of designer brands – because a luxury brand meticulously takes care of every detail, whatever the object that is being created. When Chanel, Dior or Hermès embarks on the manufacture of watches, it is with the same concern for excellence as when they craft a dress, a bag, a scarf or a pair of boots. So much that they were able, in turn, to conquer the demanding and sometimes sectarian world of fine watchmaking.
Finally, young brands arise from passionate outbursts of entrepreneurs who offer watches with a strong concept or an assertive design – perfect for a first purchase, or simply to switch things up. Future classics for sure…
