In fact, an increasing number of brands are releasing gender-neutral watches, perhaps in response to a two-fold market trend: Men are looking for smaller timepieces, and women are seeking oversized timepieces with heft.
Here, we highlight collections that started as men’s only, and have come to be coveted by both genders.
ICON OF OUR TIMES
The word “icon” is bandied around too freely these days, but few watches can actually lay claim to that desired status. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a bona fide icon.
That was not the case when it was first launched in 1972. An exorbitantly expensive luxury watch made in steel, with visible gaskets and screws? Naysayers predicted that Audemars Piguet would go bankrupt within a few months. Thankfully, the market was hungry for a disruptive sports watch, and today, the Royal Oak has been reimagined in countless avatars. It’s hard to get your hands on one today, but it’s worth the wait.
This Jumbo 39mm version comes in white gold with a grainy effect blue dial.
