From smart watches to diamond-encrusted jewellery timepieces, here are three watches we're coveting this month

1. Audemars Piguet

From Breguet with its fancy-schmancy Reine de Naples to Breitling with its diamond-dotted Navitimer, watchmakers have been turning their attentions to women. So, it’s welcome news that Audemars Piguet (which is a personal favourite) is doing the same. Its latest release is now the smallest mechanical Royal Oak for ladies, measuring in at a petite 34 mm. The steel version set with diamonds is a classic choice and comes with the brand’s signature blue-grey Grande Tapisserie-patterned dial.

2. Harry Winston

Roses are red, violets are blue and, thanks to Harry Winston, chrysanthemums are made up of iridescent opals and scintillating diamonds. Inspired by kaleidoscopes, Harry Winston’s latest timepieces are both vibrant and vivid. Who’d be satisfied with a bouquet of flowers when they could have the Premier Hypnotic Chrysanthemum Automatic on their wrist?

3. Hublot

Just a few years ago, I would have never considered buying a smartwatch. But so-called “wearables” have considerably improved thanks, in part, to established watchmakers taking the reins. Hublot, for instance, has unveiled its connected watch, Big Bang e, which comes in a 42 mm case in either black ceramic, or satin-finished and polished titanium. But what are really cool are the Big Bang e’s interchangeable dials, designed by contemporary painter Marc Ferraro.
