\u00ab New classics for elegant ladies \u00bb<\/h2>\n

Small divas with great charisma: cocktail watches are the playful models of the watch world and give their aesthetics top priority. Where functional aspects take a back seat, creativity and glamorous details form a fascinating companion for noble occasions. What distinguishes the cocktail watch and which six models you absolutely have to know, our magazine reveals today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disguised as a bracelet: glamorous jewelry with time display<\/h2>\n

Cocktail watches celebrate their birth on the threshold of the 20th century, when the pocket watch is replaced by the wristwatch, especially in upscale circles. For men, mind you. For civilized women, on the other hand, it was considered unfeminine to check the time in the era of the Empire. If a lady looks at her wrist during a conversation, it is considered a serious faux pas. It was simply considered unnecessary for women to concern themselves at all with time, appointments and dates, because in the social image of the time, the lady was primarily regarded as a “lady of leisure,” an idler without career ambitions.<\/p>\n

To change this state of affairs, Tiffany & Co. develops the first cocktail watch: conceived as a subtle way for women to keep track of the time, the early models tend to be characterized by a simple, elegant look and push one particular detail into the background: their tiny dial, which makes the watches look like ornate bracelets at first glance. Quite clever.<\/p>\n

In addition, they fulfill the function as status symbols in high society, but this changes after the Second World War: With the rise of mass production, cocktail watches become accessible to the broad masses and know no design limits.<\/p>\n

Ladies watches created for glamorous moments<\/h2>\n

Most cocktail watches for ladies follow a glamorous design, which predestines them for use at fine dinners, elegant meetings and other fine occasions. Roman numerals, diamonds and elaborately designed solid bands are typical traits, but there are no limits to the freedom in terms of materials and styles. Cocktail watches are particularly interesting for ladies with delicate wrists, because cute dimensions are a widespread feature of the mini watch genre. While editions like the Lady Hamilton Vintage Quartz<\/a> strongly deviate from the mainstream and take a perceived trip back in time to the late 19th century, other models like the Tissot T-Lady Bellissima Small<\/a> are characterized by more modern watch shapes. Its design is not reminiscent of a bangle, but is immediately recognizable as a wristwatch.<\/p>\n
