Today it is considered normal for women also wear Watches conceptually male: fashion is even about models sports, even divers. Some therefore wonder whether it still makes sense to talk about women's watches as in a category apart from men's, now considered in turn "unisex".
The answer, in our opinion, is that watches for women will always exist, and that this is great news for watchmaking.
Why do women's watches exist?
Il first wristwatch, a Breguet, was made for one womenswear. Until the First World War, all wristwatches were considered a women's accessory. Only the use of timepieces by soldiers - as a replacement for impractical pocket watches - cleared them for male use in the XNUMXs and XNUMXs. Since then, until recently, women's watches and men's watches are two very distinct categories.

The women's watch: its characteristics
The women's watch it is distinguished from the male one by some peculiarities. Wrist female it's thinner, like that thewomen's watch it becomes more compact than its male counterpart. THE materials of which it is composed are often precious, such as gold, pearls o diamonds. The style, of course, also reflects the proximity of the women's wristwatch to the world of jewellery.
The women's watch: is it here to stay?
The women's watch responds to a specific need: that of the user female to wear a timepiece that reflects your personality. Despite the use of Watches traditionally masculine is cleared among the women, it is natural that there is always a demand for the women's watch. After all, just because some women wear sneakers doesn't mean heels should disappear.
