There are few women’s watches that are assertively beautiful and intelligent, inside. At Baselworld 2018, Bvlgari will present a befitting ode to women with the Diva’s Dream Phoenix Tourbillon. The Bvlgari watch represents timeless beauty and strength of a woman with the Phoenix, a bird that stands as a metaphor for cycles of death and resurrection. A manual winding movement powers this creation. The ladies diamond watch ensures precise time with the help of a Tourbillon complication that negates the effect of gravity on the watch’s minuscule parts. There will be only 50 piece of the Diva’s Dream Phoenix Tourbillon.
Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet GMT 2018 Watch
Blancpain is one of the most understated and ingenious watch brands at Baselworld. It falls under the same watch group umbrella as Omega and Longines. This year, Blancpain will show Quantième Complet GMT, a watch best described as a vintage dream with immaculate horological mechanism. It offers some of the most esteemed watch functions without looking overcrowded. A serpentine blue hand indicates the date. Day and month are announced clearly on windows at 12. The moonphase sits pretty at 6. Not to forget the GMT function that indicates a second time zone with the red pointed hand. The newly introduced under-lug correctors are now used to set the Moonphase and calendar on the timepiece.
Omega De Ville Trésor
Women will have quite a few chronographs to choose from this year’s Baselworld novelties. Omega is likely to continue its winning streak as one of the most wanted brands, with a bunch of renewed classic timepieces. The De Ville Trésor has been reimagined with elongated, slender Roman numerals dominating the watch face. Diamonds are subtly embedded in the uncommon frame of the watch dial. Omega will launch a number of watches with distinctive combinations of straps and materials in the Trésor line, particularly for women this year.
