If the glittering timepieces at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie 2016 (SIHH) are an indication of anything, it’s that female connoisseurs can look forward to exciting designs worth their weight in carats. Charmaine Ho reports.
There is simply no denying it 2016 is shaping up to be an exciting year for female watch connoisseurs. Or, at least, that’s what the showing at SIHH at the start of the year seemed to indicate. With Roger Dubuis dedicating this year to its diva-centric Velvet collection (its booth at the fair even displayed mannequins decked in haute couture creations by Alexander McQueen, Martin Margiela and Chloé to drive the point home), and Jaeger-LeCoultre announcing an exciting collaboration with Christian Louboutin to celebrate the 85th anniversary of its emblematic Reverso collection, there were plenty of things for ladies to get excited about—not least the bevy of glittering timepieces worthy of any white-tie event.
