2018 Holiday Gift Guide for Women

Watch Favorites for the Most Important Women in Your Life

Maybe she was your first phone call when you landed the leading role in your school play. Maybe she taught you the secret family recipe for out-of-this-world cinnamon rolls. Or maybe she gave you your first watch. Sister, mom, grandmother – there are a whole lot of loving and caring ladies in your life. Each year the holidays roll around, you can’t wait to honor them. Likewise, a watch is one way to do just that. It’s a gift every woman can cherish as part of her jewelry collection because it’s equal parts sentimental and fashionable. A watch is a precious memento the women on your holiday shopping list can wear and treasure every day. No matter which lovely lady you’re looking to buy for, we have the watch for you. We’ve compiled our picks for the top ten women in your world.

Grandmother

Your grandmother embodies the epitome of refinement and sophistication. She always has every hair in place, even when you surprise her for an afternoon coffee date. She deserves a watch that’s equally classy and polished. The Piaget Altiplano is the perfect archetype of the dress watch. It’s elegant and modestly sized. Yet, it’s equally understated and unpretentious, just like your grandmother.

Mom

Mom is a superwoman who does it all. Yet, in between conference calls and cross-country meets, she still finds time to stay stylish. She needs a watch that’s stunning and able to keep up with her busy lifestyle. The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony simply has all the essentials. Its minimalist design is beautiful and timeless. Additionally, it can seamlessly be dressed up or down for any occasion.

Mother-in-Law

Your mother-in-law may be tough to shop for. Don’t worry – we have one gift that she’s sure to love regardless of her taste or style. You can never go wrong with a Rolex. For her, we picked the classic Date. This particular variation features a monochrome stainless steel construction paired with a silver dial. It’ll work seamlessly with any outfit in her wardrobe. You’re sure to become her favorite in-law with this holiday gift.

Wife

As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life. Make her holiday wish come true this season with a watch that’s as striking as she is. The Patek Philippe Ellipse is a unique and stunning option from the brand. The model is time-tested, being one of the oldest in Patek Philippe’s catalog. This exceptional 18-karat yellow gold variation of the classic model also features a contrasting deep blue dial.

Fiancé

You’ve found the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with. You couldn’t be more excited to ring in your first holiday together. So this year, you need to wow her with a show-stopping gift. A Cartier is the perfect way to commemorate the season. The design of the Santos is just as one-of-a-kind as your girl. Its unique square case and exposed screws have caught the attention of watch lovers for decades.

Girlfriend

Whether you’re celebrating your first holiday as a couple or enjoying another season together, this gift has to be big. With a watch, you’ll certainly outdo yourself this year. The TAG Heuer Carrera is a stellar choice for the leading lady in your life. The model has a rich history, created by the legendary Jack Heuer himself. This particular variation adds just a touch of sparkle with diamond hour markers.

Daughter

Your daughter has always marched to the beat of her own drum. Whether you’re buying her first watch or adding to her collection, she needs a model as exceptional as she is. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is one of the most interesting and inventive watch designs ever made. Its distinctive reversible construction perfectly reflects the unique spirit of your little girl.

Daughter-in-Law

No matter if she’s new to the family or become one of your own, your daughter-in-law surely deserves the best. We think you’ll make her feel special this season with the gift of an Omega Seamaster. It’s a versatile sports watch that’s an awesome way to start or grow her collection. This particular variation also features a striking tapisserie dial that makes it easy to dress the watch up or down.

Sister

You and your sister have been through it all together. Over the course of birthdays, breakups, and annual bonding trips, she shared in every moment. Therefore, the holiday season is the time of year to celebrate that unshakable relationship you have. There’s no better way to do so than with a watch. The Breitling Colt is sporty, dynamic, and youthful. Its design encapsulates everything you love about your sister and your abiding sibling adoration.

Best Friend

When you and your best friend are together, nothing can shake you. You’re a dynamic duo with unstoppable girl power. Why not give her a watch that illustrates the potent force that women have in watchmaking. The Audemars Piguet Ladies’ Royal Oak was designed by a woman, for a woman. No model better captures the boundless capabilities of a lady.

Every Woman

Maybe she already has an amazing watch collection. You might want to opt for something different than giving her a new model this holiday season. Instead, give her a special place to put her watches when they’re not on her wrist. Wolf’s Blake Valet Tray with Cuff offers an elegant and functional design. It’s the perfect home for her watch when she takes it off each day.
