For 365 days a year, our mothers dote on us with all their love and affection unconditionally. On Mother’s Day, you finally get the opportunity to tell her, “Mom, I love you”.
On this day of gratitude and blessings, a beautiful and resonating timepiece is the perfect gift to collect and commemorate. It’s also the perfect dedication to express your appreciation to mom for every minute and every second that she spends with you. After all, life is so wonderful thanks to her.
The following six watches are recommended for the world’s greatest moms who are so versatile and great in every role.
JACOB & CO. Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow
Nothing but the best for dearest mom. The Fleurs de Jardin Rainbow is a jewelry timepiece featuring a flying tourbillon movement that was seemingly designed to recreate a splendid garden of flowers on the wrist.
The dial features 11 flowers, each petal set with a different colored gemstone, including a 0.81 carat Jacob Cut tsavorite in the center, a flying tourbillon that rotates in a single minute as a fluttering butterfly, and a main time display set with mother-of-pearl that rotates clockwise around a central axis, while the mother-of-pearl base set with six rainbow sapphire flowers below turns counter-clockwise.
The bezel and the bottom bezel are each set with a circle of rainbow-colored sapphires, just like a majestic rainbow across the sky. The 360-degree transparent sapphire case provides an unobstructed view of every detail, evoking images of vibrant flowers and colors form a romantic and beautiful garden in the sky.
FRANCK MULLER Vanguard Rose Skeleton
The aesthetic mastery of FRANCK MULLER’s craftership are always a pleasure to behold, especially in the vanguard collection with its enchanting tonneau case, set with gorgeous diamonds and skeletonized and enameled roses, demonstrating the ultimate allure of a luxury timepiece.
The intricate and highly complex structure of the mechanical movement was created through a seamless collaboration between the watchmaker and the engraver, who not only sketched out the frame of the rose, fully integrating it into the design of the movement, but also used unparalleled engraving and enameling techniques to depict the white petals and green leaves of three of the roses, while the other two roses were set with even more brilliant diamonds.
The wearer not only gets to admire the enameled roses and masterfully crafted skeleton dial, but also the subtle intricacies of the movement rhythm, hand-crafted beveling, and brushed details underneath. The hand-wound movement allows for a four-day power reserve, just like a mother who is strong at heart and elegant on the outside, always the center of attention whenever she raises her hand.
BLANCPAIN Villeret Quantieme Phases de Lune
Founded in 1735, Blancpain is among the oldest watchmaking brands in the world. The Villeret collection, named after the birthplace of the brand, is synonymous with timeless elegance.
The moon phase and date are one of Blancpain’s proudest and most renowned features. In addition to the trademark feuille hour and minute hands and the slender large seconds hand, a crescent-shaped date hand has been added, which not only provides a precise indication of the date, but also endows the dial a more distinct and intriguing look.
The moon phase window at 6 o’clock indicates the daily change of the moon’s phase within the 29.5-day cycle. One thing that makes this complication stand out is the soft yet playful smile on the moon and a beauty mark at the corner of its mouth, emblematic of the makeup of classical French courtesans.
The transparent caseback reveals the technical details of the Blancpain 913QL self-winding movement, including the gold rotor, the silicon balance spring, and the gold fine-tuning screw balance. This is truly a watch with story and substance, perfect for a wise mother with a profound heart.
CHOPARD Happy Sport 30mm
Fine jewelry watches tend to evoke the image of unattainable distance, that was until Chopard launched the Happy Sport collection in 1993, a timepiece suitable for everyday wear.
The diamonds are set on a sliding base and can move freely between the dial and the glass, so that with the movement of the wrist, one can always enjoy the dazzling allure reflected by the diamonds at different positions on the dial. This design is a distinctive break from the traditional image of fine jewelry watches. Just like its name, Happy Sport, brings to mind images of vitality and joy, a clever blend of classic elements and fashion trends.
Detailed craftership and bold colors are two of the reasons why Happy Sport has remained enduringly popular. The Happy Sport 30mm, for example, features the most recent green dial with a radial hairline finish that adds an elegant allure. The two-tone combination of stainless-steel case and 18k rose gold bezel also strikes a perfect balance between sporty and femininity.
The quartz movement is precise and easy to operate, so you don’t have to worry about winding it even if you leave it idle for days. Perfect for the busy mom true to herself.
CARTIER La Panthère de Cartier
Since 1914, when the collection was first launched by the brand, it has not only become enduringly popular among jewelry enthusiasts and horologists around the world, but also has become the focus of fashion trends, drawing attention to whoever wears it.
This time, we recommend La Panthère de Cartier, which combines the design of the leopard’s head, which is made of 18k rose gold. What’s even more intriguing is the bracelet design with the leopard’s mouth biting the lugs, offering a surprisingly snug fit on the wrist.
The leopard’s eyes are set with 0.16-carat green pear-shaped tsavorites and the bezel is set with 40 round diamonds weighing 0.24 carats. The watch comes with a quartz movement. On the wrist, the La Panthère de Cartier reminds one of the Queen of Wakanda from the movie “Black Panther”, giving orders to the world in regal confidence.
PANERAI Luminor Due Luna Goldtech™
Panerai, with brand origins that started out by manufacturing watches for the Italian Navy, has always left people with the impression of being masculine and dominant. However, as early as the 1990s, Panerai had attracted many female consumers who prefer men’s timepieces. Military-inspired watches are not exclusive to men, women can also wear them with pride and power.
For this reason, in recent years, Panerai has launched a smaller version for women, with a smaller diameter of 38mm and a slimmer thickness, but still maintaining the classic Panerai shape and minimalist design.
In 2022, Panerai even launched the Luminor Due Luna with a simple moon phase function for the first time, as the romantic and beautiful moon phase is more in line with feminine qualities desired by women. The top-of-the-line model is the Goldtech™ Rose Gold version PAM01181.
Goldtech™ is Panerai’s exclusive patent, made from 75% pure gold, 24% copper and 0.4% platinum, which is not only more rosy than ordinary rose gold, but also increases its resistance to oxidation and makes the radiant color longer-lasting. The mother-of-pearl dial also adds a touch of extravagance and femininity to the watch.
