While Cartier mans up, women get more of what they want
Chanel Première Triple Row
The Première was the first watch created by Chanel back in 1987, its case referencing the stopper of the No. 5 bottle and, by extension, the footprint of Place Vendôme. This year, its strap mimics that of the iconic 2.55 bag. Layer with bracelets or, if you boast a midriff of Cara Delevingne proportions, take inspiration from the last Chanel catwalk show and sport it around your waist.

Bulgari Lvcea
A real standout from this year’s Baselworld was the all-new Lvcea. It was created to give the brand a more reasonable entry-level collection, but that Serpenti bracelet is so stylishly done that it will no doubt be bought by those who can easily afford Bulgari’s big ticket items.

Burberry The Britain Limited Edition Trench
There was an air of scepticism when Burberry launched a Swiss-made watch collection last year, but it has impressed with its combination of solid build and refreshingly subtle fashion references. This year, The Britain reinterprets the iconic trench’s gabardine via pale ceramic.
