Business watches for women – classics and insider tips

There is a large selection of elegant ladies' watches. Whether mother of pearl or diamonds, the range is almost inexhaustible and choosing the perfect watch is often difficult. In addition, many of the watches are only suitable for large formal occasions, but not for everyday use. However, we are convinced that there should also be watches for everyday use that are comfortable to wear and easy to read, as well as having an elegant design. In this article, we therefore present the most beautiful business watches for women.

Rolex Datejust 36 mm

The Rolex Datejust has been the epitome of timeless elegance since its debut in 1945, and for good reason. A simple model whose proportions are visually exquisitely balanced. Another advantage of this model is that it can be adapted as required using its configuration options. The excellent readability - regardless of all lighting conditions - is also one of its best features. In addition to the time, the date is always clearly visible thanks to the attached date magnifier. On the technical side, the watch also meets the brand's high standards; from water resistance to shock resistance to chronometer certification. The Rolex Datejust 36 is a subtle symbol of luxury, success and style. A Rolex always signals that you have made it, without showing off. The Datejust 36 is a statement of appreciation for the watchmaking craft that fits every wrist - and for every occasion.

Cartier Tank Must

As the name suggests, Cartier's Tank is certainly inspired by tanks. At the same time, however, it also represents a symbol of peace. After all, the jeweler Louis Cartier gave the iconic wristwatch with the angular design to the American General Pershing in 1917 to mark the restoration of peace. This design with its two characteristic bars stood out clearly from other pocket watches at the time. The bars, modeled on tank tracks, also made it possible to elegantly integrate the bracelet into the watch. In 2001, the classic was reinterpreted by Cartier. Still close to the original (including the winding crown with cabochon), but with slightly rounded side bars and adjusted proportions. Overall, a somewhat reduced design, but more feminine. Thanks to its quartz movement, the watch can run effortlessly for days without having to be wound and adjusted. Tank wearers are also in good company, as Michelle Obama and Jackie Onassis were among the prominent friends of this Cartier watch.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Duetto

Originally designed for polo players, the reversible case of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso was intended to protect the watch on the field. As the watch became more popular, its protective function became less important. However, the design potential of the watch was constantly expanded: the smooth case back soon served as a canvas for enamel art and engravings. Soon after, the vision of a watch that also shows two different times on two sides followed. The Reverso Classic Duetto is an undeniably romantic watch - because what is more a sign of longing than two time zones on one watch? The front shows the time in a rather simple manner, as usual; the back, on the other hand, enchants with diamonds on a dark dial. What connects the two sides is the unique balance in the geometric Art Deco design. A great watch for every mood.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921

Vacheron Constantin is one of the big three Swiss watch brands for good reasons. Many watches from this brand would make good business watches, but the Historiques American 1921 stands out in particular. It is the best example of the high-quality craftsmanship that has made the brand its name. This reissued classic, inspired by the 1920s, effortlessly combines extravagance with classicism while testing boundaries and always staying true to itself. Because the dial of the cushion-shaped watch is rotated 45 degrees, it is very easy to read the time at a glance, even when sitting on a keyboard or steering wheel. The crown in the top right corner of the case and the small - non-rotated - second hand also help to make the design of the watch a unique eye-catcher. This watch is clearly a declaration of love for life itself and for beautiful things.

Omega De Ville

Despite the apparent contrast, vintage watches are particularly well suited as business watches. Classic designs with small diameters are wonderful for everyday work. This De Ville originally debuted in the 1960s and is the prime example of an elegant, traditional watch that only appears a little more simple at first glance. A second look, however, reveals the attention to detail that has been put into the model. In addition to a potential increase in value, vintage watches also have the advantage of being extremely sustainable because they do not have to be specially manufactured. In addition, there is of course the very special value that collectors and enthusiasts attach to them, as vintage watches always carry a piece of history with them. Another aspect is the exclusivity that all vintage watches have, after all, their edition is always limited. The Omega De Ville is one of the most beautiful watches for lovers of timeless elegance and unique style.

IWC Portofino Chronograph

This watch also effortlessly masters the balancing act between classic and modern. IWC's Portofino collection includes a number of younger classics, including the IWC Portofino Chronograph 39. The 39 is a reference to the diameter, which does not hide its presence on the wrist, but is kept in check by the delicate lines. The dial itself has a pleasantly minimalist appearance, which is mainly due to the Roman numerals and line indices. The easy strap changing system also contributes to the fact that you can wear this watch for any occasion. Whether dark red leather for autumn or beige for mild summer days - this watch really works anytime.

Tissot T-Classic Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80

The last entry on our list is a real insider tip. But hopefully not for much longer, because this Tissot model sets new technical standards with its 80-hour power reserve alone. The Powermatic 80 movement can therefore easily run for an entire working week. The T-Classic Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 is a tribute to the brand's history. It was named after the street in Le Locle, Switzerland, where the manufacturer was founded in 1907. In addition to the timeless design, the price-performance ratio also makes this watch an absolute must-have for watch lovers and collectors.
