A Time For Grace

Throughout history, iconic women have inspired the creation of watches that transcend time, becoming emblems of their grace, power, and enduring legacy.

Much like a signature fragrance, a watch is deeply personal, offering a glimpse into a person’s passions, preferences, and proclivities. Everyone has their reasons for loving a particular timepiece—a striking colour, an unconventional case design, or simply how it feels on the wrist. Yet, some watches transcend this subjective stratum, elevated into objective emblems of style and panache.

More than a few ladies’ timepieces have achieved this status. Worn by some of the most extraordinary women, these watches exude indubitable grace and charm, leaving indelible marks on history. Or perhaps it’s the reverse—are these watches beloved because they adorned the wrists of remarkable women?

Whatever the case, inspiring women often gravitate towards inspired watches. From Jackie Kennedy’s stylish Cartier Tank to Elizabeth Taylor with her captivating Bvlgari Serpenti, here are some women—and the watches—that have become emblems of feminine grace.
