How to choose a women’s watch

Choosing the perfect watch for you

Much more than just a practical item, a watch adorns your wrist, exudes elegance and complements any style. Movement, case, strap: every detail counts when it comes to looking for your ideal watch.

So how do you choose a women’s watch? Chaumet shares its advice on finding the perfect creation.

The movement of a quartz watch

A quartz watch is powered by a battery, which supplies the required energy to the movement. This energy causes the quartz to oscillate at a regular frequency, ensuring an accurate measurement of time.

In a watch with an analogue display, the quartz movement turns the hands on the dial. Prized for its accuracy and reliability, it is especially suited to everyday use.

The movement of a mechanical watch

A mechanical watch works without a battery. Its mechanism draws its energy from the winding of the movement, whether manual or automatic.

A manual-winding mechanical watch requires the crown to be turned regularly to keep it running.

Conversely, an automatic watch uses wrist movements to wind itself. Its technical sophistication makes it a highly practical watch, as it does not require daily adjustments.

Choosing a watch case

Case size is a key factor in choosing a women’s watch. Apart from aesthetic preferences, it is important to take wrist size into account for balanced proportions and a comfortable fit.

A slimmer case will lend a more understated look, whilst a larger size will stand out more on the wrist.

How to choose the material of your watch

The material has significant influence over the style and character of a women’s watch. White gold, rose gold and steel each create a very different result, whilst diamonds add an extra touch of sparkle.

The choice depends, above all, on the look you’re going for and what you usually wear. For example, the Joséphine collection combines jewellery-like lines and precious details in a unique design inspired by the pear cut.

Choosing a women’s watch strap

The strap plays an essential part in the style of a women’s watch. Whether leather, steel, satin or gold, each material allows you to tailor the look to your own preferences.

With its interchangeable straps, the Hortensia collection can be adapted to suit any occasion. A simple way to play with colours and materials whilst treasuring the same timepiece.
