WatchTime India Magazine - Watches for Women 2024

In this issue

WatchTime India’s Watches for Women 2024 issue spotlights the Chopard L’heure du Diamant collection on its cover, a diamond-studded watch that exemplifies Chopard’s jewelry and watchmaking mastery. The issue also contains a breakdown of the best women’s watches released this year, alongside a spotlight on Chanel’s Couture O’Clock collection that honours Coco Chanel’s haute couture craftsmanship while showcasing the brand’s growth in watchmaking. Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101, the smallest mechanical movement in the world that revolutionised women’s luxury watches, is revisited, and microbrand Beauregard, known for its seamless blend of haute joaillerie, haute horology, and lapidary art in women’s watches, is explored. There are interviews with New York-based watch collector Jaclyn Li, ​who shares her passion for exceptional watchmaking through her impressive collection of timepieces; Sinziana Iordache, a hyperrealist artist who creates life-like graphite drawings of watches; and other prominent women in the watch industry. A design subsection explores 2024 revivals that balance a contemporary outlook with past inspirations, as well as a look at India’s Titan Edge UltraSlim and Squircle, which earned recognition at the 2024 GPHG nominations, and Cartier’s shaped watches.
