In memory of the longest serving-monarch in British history, we pay tribute to her timeless sense of style—here’s a look back at the monarch’s treasured collection of luxury timepieces
Queen Elizabeth II, who died aged 96 on September 8, is remembered for her immense influence throughout her seven decades on the throne. She is also revered for her sense of style: in the early and mid-20th century, at a time when it was considered socially inappropriate for women to sneak a peek at their watches, the Queen adorned her wrist with timepieces.
We look back on some of her stunning watches.
