Horological Meandering

A female friend of mine is interested in purchasing a watch for around 10k, but wants one like the Cartier Panthère 1120 - Two Tone "Small One Row" with a dual-tone bracelet, but something more unique and preferably from an indie. We can't find many options! Please help us in our search! ( does not have to be square, but dual-tone and bracelet are important)

(no guesses on indies)

We dont want the JLC nor cartier....was thinking (not necessarily an indie but smaller brand) glashuette original one

teddybaldassarre.com

I have been checking out Piaget and they offer some tasty watches. One of the best one is from Glashuette Original or Girard Perregaux and Chopard so far ....Credor as well but was wondering what else is out there.

The true independents (F.P. Journe, Dufour, Akrivia, Grönefeld, etc.) just don't do ladies two-tone bracelets. It's all mainstream brands like Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Cartier for that segment. 

Ladies models with integrated steel/gold bracelets are less common in the high‑art independent segment (versus mainstream luxury brands) — they often focus on “watchmaking art” rather than “jewellery/bracelet integrated” design.

So yeah — it's basically a non-existent category in the independent world.  

Not a two tone, square or on a bracelet but a pretty ladies watch.

Will def check it out but I am honestly sensing a market opportunity 😂 Maybe someone should make a watch along these lines!

Here's a very nice looking two-tone women's watch at Chrono24.  Automatic movement, interesting bracelet, at the lower end of your budget.  Also comes in quartz...


and not to pester you too too much about Cartier but there are some nice Pashas ut there...just sayin'...
