Upcycling in a colorful variety: Maurice Lacroix Aikon #tide

Luxury watches for young women – made of plastic? What sounds contradictory at first glance has turned Maurice Lacroix into what is probably the most progressive concept in the company’s history. Together with the Swiss company #tide, which fishes plastic out of the ocean, the manufacturer has created the new Maurice Lacroix Aikon #tide, which consists of recycled sea plastic and has an incredibly colorful variety of models. 17 bottles flow into a timepiece and are combined with fiberglass to create an extremely tough composite.

A 40 millimeter diameter is a real trend for young women when it comes to watches, but it’s worth trying on: thanks to a quick-change system, the 100 meter water-resistant model can be equipped with new bracelets yourself. In plain language this means: the right style for your outfit every day! A special highlight is the relief-like dial with “Vagues du Jura” motif, which symbolizes the waves of the ocean. If you don’t want it to be squeaky pink, we recommend the Lady above all light blue (Ref. AI2008-AAAA1-3A0-0).

Lipstick pink meets warm bronze: Oris Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy

A unicorn in the world of watches: With the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy, the top Swiss brand shows how elegant bronze and bright pink can be combined to create beautiful watches for young women. What sounds bizarre is an absolute rarity in the world of ladies’ watches: firstly, the bronze case of the 38-millimeter feel-good ladies, which oxidizes quickly and makes each timepiece unique with personal signs of wear, and secondly, the color palette of the dial.

Anyone who thinks Oris is a conservative brand will be disabused by the three tones Sky Blue, Wild Green and Lipstick Pink. Coupled with the warm bronze tone, an unconventional and extremely attractive combination is created. Incidentally, the Cotton Candy is a classic diver with all the advantages of the diver’s collection: automatic movement, 100 meters water resistance and many characteristic details from applied indices to domed sapphire glass make these watches exceptional eye-catchers for young women.

Mysterious coolness made of high-tech ceramic: Rado True Secret

Do you know the magical sight of a mirror-smooth lake at sunset? If the fascination of this quiet landscape were a watch, it would be called Rado True Secret (Ref. R27108322): Characterized by its dial in the cool cyan color tone “petrol”, it offers women a contemplative, almost mysterious sight on the wrist – completely without indices . Only three hands and a concise hole for admiring the internal mechanics are revealed to those ladies who want to deviate far from the mainstream when it comes to the case material.

Plasma high-tech ceramic is the name of the material that feels so soft and so different from stainless steel and has required decades of research from Rado. The result looks spectacular, offers phenomenal haptics and, with a diameter of 40 millimeters, has enough space to unfold. Women with the most delicate wrists might find the dimensions bulky. The power reserve of the automatic movement is also massive: the luxury watches for young women continue to run for a whopping 80 hours after they have been fully wound.

A retro icon without competition: Hamilton American Classic Lady Hamilton Vintage Quartz

If the elegant lady prefers to wallow in the past and admires legendary style icons of the 1950s, Hamilton has the right ladies’ watches in its range. Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren would certainly have enjoyed the Hamilton American Classic Lady Hamilton Vintage Quartz (Ref. H31201130): Not black, not white, but striking plum blue covers the royal-looking stainless steel case with its countless, filigree details.

There’s no question about it: With these tiny, 15×19 millimeter premium watches for young women, functionality takes a back seat. What counts are emotions: Triggered by four diamonds on a black dial and the elaborate relief in the case, the aesthetic high feelings almost make you forget that the woman is wearing a wristwatch and not a retro bracelet. The quartz-powered exotic is not lacking in precision, nor is it lacking in curious glances from friends. Ladies who prefer original design and unusual colors to boring things like everyday usability are guaranteed to enjoy this little “Swiss-Made” jewel.

Radiant green meets radiant luxury: Chopard Happy Sport

Jewels are the right transition to by far the most exclusive women’s watch in this article: the 36-millimeter Chopard Happy Sport (Ref. 278582-6007) with a green sunburst finish, plenty of diamonds on the bezel and a feature that has enjoyed cult status since the 1970s: the moving diamonds from the Geneva luxury brand. Fresh and cheerful, they dance across the dial between two sapphire glass discs and are not the only highlight that makes these glamorous watches for young women extraordinary pieces of jewelry. The bezel is made of 18-carat rose gold, which, in combination with the stainless steel case, generates a retro-inspired two-tone look that is increasingly coming back into fashion.

Also contemporary is Chopard’s commitment to ethically sourced gold to make a positive contribution to decent working conditions. The crocodile leather strap of the Happy Sport is perfectly matched to the majestic green color of the dial. We have no doubts: you will attract attention with this jewel. But to be honest, when a watch stands out like that, you want a little admiration. The only downside: In this price range we would expect a mechanical movement instead of the built-in quartz caliber.

Cocktail watch for young ladies: Tissot T-Lady Bellissima

Roman numerals, polished stainless steel: At first glance, the Tissot T-Lady Bellissima (Ref. T126.207.22.013.00) probably doesn’t look as fresh and young as our headline promised. It is precisely the relaxed timelessness of the 29 millimeter slim two-tone model that makes it so attractive for young ladies: while others try to attract attention with constantly new trends, the Belissima leans back and lets the decades pass by and will always go with any outfit.

The full-fledged automatic watch is not lacking in details: a central sunburst finish and blued hands create a multi-layered overall picture under a domed sapphire crystal, while the winding crown is crowned by a blue cabochon. Tissot has even given the feminine watch for young ladies a glass case back to allow a clear view of the innovative mechanism with the Nivachron hairspring. Coolness meets classic – without any spectacular colors.
