At the start of the 20th century, even wristwatches had a glass ceiling. Timepiece traditionalists believed that watches belonged in your pocket, not on your arm. And definitely nowhere near the dainty wrists of women. In 1905, one British journalist wrote, "There are even fewer women who know how to care for a watch than there are men who know how to care for a baby." But commerce quickly trumped chauvinism when savvy jewelers discovered that ladies were interested in owning more than one timepiece. Watches became sensations as fashion statements.

Fashion was definitely top of mind for our 52-Diamond Ladies Watch. Not only does it feature an elegant, square face, bordered by the sparkle of 52 genuine white diamonds (¼ ctw) on the gold-fused case, we’ve also included four of our finest genuine leather straps (including ivory, scarlet, powder blue and midnight black), to ensure that your watch works brilliantly with any ensemble. The bright dial complements all of those colors with its gorgeous rainbow swirls of genuine mother-of-pearl. Three additional complications mark hours, minutes and seconds and a date window sits at the 4 o’clock position.
