Ovals make a truly wonderful shape for ladies watches–elegant, classic, yet somehow a distinctly refreshing escape from the hegemony of the ever-present round form which dominates most watch design. Women seeking out exquisitely crafted luxury watches that are incredible examples of just how beautiful the oval can be have some outstanding options to choose from among several of the finest haute de gamme watchmaking houses in the world.

The DeWitt Alma watch collection is stately and powerful, yet refined with superb, sublime details. The casework is absolutely extraordinary, as is the attention to detail on the dial, and the setting of diamonds and other gems. These DeWitt timepieces for ladies also offers superb mechanical workmanship, and unique complications–such as those found on the Alma Utopia watch.

Girard-Perregaux’s Cat’s-Eye watches from the Collection Lady are another stunning assemblage of magnificent oval timepieces. Exclusively animated by fine Girard-Perregaux in-house movements, jewelry and fine watchmaking are united as one in these award-winning luxury watches.

The ravishing Breguet Reine de Naples watch collection presents another fabulous union of haute joaillerie and haute horlogerie. Its an interesting point of reference to note that there was a certain amount of internal opposition within Breguet to this design when it was first proposed–needless to say, women have responded with great enthusiasm to these exceptionally beautiful timepieces.
