Bracelet Watches Women Love

In the last couple of years, secret watches have become très chic and popular within the high jewelry category of women’s timepieces. From most women’s perspectives, all high-end bracelet watches are magnificent. Many, as you’ll see, are more about the diamonds than the practical aspects of telling time. Sure, the dial is always present, but unless you have an intricate eye for measurement, it’s not all that easy to read the precise time on one of these stunning pieces of jewelry.
The word exquisite comes to mind when reviewing today’s selection of high-end bracelet watches. The craftsmanship involved in making a quality timepiece is one thing; the creativity necessary to overlay a detailed bracelet design in addition, takes extraordinary skill. Sometimes a jeweler and a watchmaker team up to create these types of pieces. Most of our favorite luxury watchmaking brands keep top designers on-staff – who know exactly how to simplify the process.
The results are often limited-edition pieces with a few options that allow wearers to customize them. We have hand-selected some of the most unusual and diamond-laden bracelet watches in the world. As high jewelry bracelet watches go, these are the crémé de la crémé.

5. Brequet Secret de la Reine

Breguet secret
Secret watches are being introduced more often as wealthy women want their watches to appear more high jewelry than timepieces. This was the style in the early part of the 1900s as women were not often sporting wristwatches and particularly not with evening attire. The other practical element of the “secret” design is the cover protects the watch. This model was introduced last year to rave reviews. The bracelet is intended to look like loops of pleated ribbon. The high-tech part of the watch is the date display – press the cameo rose cover and it is revealed. Available in white or rose gold. Price: $33,500
