Choosing a watch as a gift for March 8th is a good idea. And not just as a hint for her to finally stop being late. A watch is a successful combination of a functional device, a stylish accessory (and sometimes even jewelry) and a famous label. In general, a universal gift.
Agree, choosing a watch as a gift for a man is much easier than for a woman. If the first one can be given an expensive, exclusive model, which he will put under glass, quietly admire, be proud of and wear on major holidays, then this number will not work with a beautiful lady. She will definitely want to wear them. This means that you need to select a model in accordance with her taste, clothing style, eye color, and, finally, fashion.

Top mechanics
Traditionally, it is believed that ladies prefer quartz watches. In principle, this is true, but recently among the fair sex there has been an increasing interest in complex mechanical watches, such as automatic chronographs. Within the range of 5-6 thousand dollars, the following models deserve attention.

Girard Perregaux
This Swiss watch house is known primarily for its precise and complex movements: chronographs, tourbillons and other prestigious handmade bells and whistles. By the way, in models of many famous brands, such as Breguet or Parmigiani, you can see a mechanism produced at the GP manufactory. So, when choosing a Girard-Perregaux self-winding lady, you can rest assured of the quality of the mechanism.
In 1995, GP released the Vintage 1945 replica collection. Now it is the company’s flagship. The design of the collection has remained virtually unchanged - the rectangular shape of these watches is not subject to fashion trends, it is always relevant and invariably prestigious. Women's watch Vintage 1945 is a hymn to classics and good taste. They look elegant and solid, and will last for many years thanks to the reliable steel case and sapphire crystals. The collection includes models encrusted with diamonds. You can choose a steel or leather bracelet.

Alain Silberstein
The symbol of this French house could well be a computer “smiley”. Because, looking at the signature multi-colored curly arrows, it is impossible not to smile. It must be said that the attitude towards Alain Silberstein watches is rarely indifferent: they are so striking in their absurdity.
The designer loves the combination of fun, teenage, almost punk design with complex mechanics and precious stones. Such, for example, are women's watches with automatic winding and chronograph from the Krono series or the MB02 model of the Milanese series - automatic winding, steel case, encrusted with diamonds. Of course, it’s worth considering that our women are not too fond of avant-garde design.
Although, if, when handing her an Alain Silberstein, you inadvertently mention that there are only 500 watches from these series in the whole world and each model is numbered, an ambitious woman’s heart will definitely rejoice.

Giving a woman jewelry is almost a win-win option. If you are afraid that a girl will perceive the gift of a ring as an unambiguous proposal, then the gold and diamonds that decorate an elegant watch do not carry any special meaning. They only testify to the depth of your feelings, the thickness of your wallet and the generosity of your soul.

Patek Philippe
If your plan is to dazzle a lady with the splendor of diamonds, then the Twenty~4 collection from Patek Philippe is created just for this. It presents models covered with precious stones from bracelet to dial (Reference 4910/51) weighing a total of 10.14 carats; there are also more modest options where only the case and part of the bracelet are encrusted with diamonds (Reference 4908/310).
Such watches (steel or gold-plated), thanks to the design of the bracelet made of wide plates, visually merging with the case, look on the hand like an elegant piece of jewelry. The impression is complemented by the ensemble of earrings and ring included with the watch, made in the same design and also covered with diamonds.
However, Patek Philippe, even when creating jewelry watches, does not forget that their main function is to show the time. Therefore, the hour markings (two Roman numerals “12” and “6”) and the hands are quite large, painted black and are easily distinguishable both on a steel or gold, and on a diamond background.

Cartier
However, many women are of the opinion that a jewelry watch is an item created more for admiration and display, rather than for telling time. And one of the leaders among the creators of diamond wrist masterpieces, Cartier, thinks the same. The models of this brand are distinguished not only by the abundance of diamonds, but also by their original design, such as the Alcyone watch with an oval case.
The top part is thick and it looks like there are low feet on the other side of the 12 o'clock position, causing the dial to tilt. Case made of 18 carat white gold, studded with diamonds. There is also a certain amount of humor in this watch: if the 12 o’clock mark is made in the classic form of a Roman numeral, then the 6 o’clock mark is deliberately extended to almost two-thirds of the dial.

Pequignet
Another brand of “watches for showers”

and”, delighting the female eye with exquisite jewelry finishing and the ability to choose a set of accessories for the watch in the form of earrings, rings, bracelets and pendants. Particularly popular among ladies are the original models of the Sorella series, which can be instantly recognized by the design of the case: the square dial is “emphasized” by two wide transverse plates studded with regular and black diamonds. There are no bracelet lugs on the case.
To achieve this, it has a folding “second bottom” that presses the strap against the back cover. This design makes changing the strap an easy and fun experience. Therefore, it is worth purchasing several different bracelets for the Sorella series watches: made of steel and leather - traditional or with a shiny effect, or made to look like fabric. Better yet, buy several multi-colored straps that can be varied depending on the choice of suit.

And yet, if you don’t want to oblige a lady with jewelry, as well as experiment with her taste, then you can’t think of a better gift than an Omega, Longines or Raymond Weil watch. These world-famous brands are not just beautiful and functional, they represent the stability of success in life. The price range from 600 to 1500 dollars suggests that the lucky owner will not immediately put the gift in a bank safe, but will gladly put it on her hand. So it's almost impossible to miss. Even if the girl has watches from these brands.

Omega
Omega's Constellation series is like Channel No. 5, a string of pearls and a black evening dress - that is, something classic and unshakable, like a New Year's address from the president. These watches are worn by Cindy Crawford, Martina Hingis and even Anna Kournikova herself. The traditional Constellation – a round case framed by a steel bracelet – is known to everyone, but now rectangular and barrel-shaped cases for women’s watches are in fashion, so pay attention to the new Constellation – Carre series.
The small square case, black or mother-of-pearl dial with four diamonds at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, flows smoothly into a steel or leather bracelet. The watch is decorated with diamonds along the perimeter of the case.

Longines
Choosing between the two most famous series of this brand - DolceVita and La Grande Classique - is the same as deciding which end to eat a soft-boiled egg from. That is, it is a matter of taste. DolceVita models have a rectangular or square curved case made of steel or gold. Model L5.166.0.88.2 looks very stylish - a square steel case, encrusted with diamonds on a white leather strap. The mother-of-pearl dial features steel hands and diamond hour markers.
The La Grande Classique series is more suitable for conservative and practical ladies. Although it is possible that the fashion for round and barrel-shaped cases, which is now dominant in men's watches, will return to women's watches next season. In any case, the large round dial, Roman markings and thin hands look strict and neutral and fit almost any style of clothing. A distinctive feature of this series is its thin case, no thicker than a strap.

Raymond Weil
This watch house also did not ignore the fashion for rectangular cases, releasing the Baguette model in the Tango collection. The elegantly elongated steel case with smooth angles evokes memories of the Art Deco style fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century.
The mother-of-pearl dial under sapphire crystal is decorated with gold hands and Roman numerals, as well as eight pearls. You can choose not only the color of the case and bracelet (steel, gold or bi-color), but also the size of the watch: standard or mini.

The name of a fashionable French or Italian house on the dial of one of the fashion brands can, of course, enhance the gift value of a watch. And this name sometimes warms a woman’s gaze more than the logo of the famous Swiss manufacturer. In addition, a watch is not clothing, and by purchasing it, you will not have to worry about tactfully finding out or clarifying the size of your fair half.

Women's watches also have their own “folk idols” - popular everyday models for the middle class. They cost from 100 to 400 dollars, but they have an attractive appearance, are quite accurate, reliable and will last for many years.

Seiko
In fact, a girl can and should buy watches like Seiko for herself. This, by the way, happens most often. However, the best examples of the Rivoli series can be safely classified as gifts: their design is very unique. Just look at the dials in the shape of an eye, a fin, an hourglass, and even located at an angle to the bracelet!
These watches rightfully bear the proud title of “designer”. At the same time, the Japanese always remain Japanese: even with such a cunning design, Seiko is convenient to tell the time. The “highlight” of the Rivoli collection is the combination of different materials for the case and bracelets: titanium and gold plated (SYL754P) or chrome, gold plated and matte gold plated (SUJ034P).

Tissot
The perfect expression of fashionable watch trends is the T-collection from Tissot. Case, bracelet, hands, even the hour

I mark up - everything has clear square shapes. The models are made of steel with sapphire crystals. Again, a relevant detail: in addition to the classic black and white models, the collection includes watches with bright dials in blue, red and pink shades.
The watch itself is quite miniature, the case is curved to the shape of the wrist, and the bracelet fastenings, in accordance with the name of the company and the collection, are made in the shape of the letter T.

Jacques Lemans
This Swiss brand of watches for the middle class appeared in Russia relatively recently, but already has its fans. Primarily due to inexpensive and reliable mechanics (including for women), although quartz models also deserve attention.
For example, model 1-667M311 of the Verona series looks very elegant and feminine: the rectangular watch case with Roman markings is combined with a steel bracelet strap, made in the form of a twisted cord with a folding clasp. It is worth noting that the watch and bracelet are gold-plated using the classic galvanic method. Layer thickness – 10 microns. This means that the watch will retain its presentable appearance for a long time.
