Before the wristwatch became a fashion staple, women already brandished watches as pendants around their necks. There were variants to the pendants worn on long chains around the neck. One such variant was the pocket watch. It was usually hidden in the woman's waistband, or in a small pocket inside the dress' seams where the bodice was connected to the skirt.

Surprisingly, women enjoyed more prerogative on how to wear, or style their watches. Aside from wearing these watches around their necks, they also wore them with a pin as brooches as earrings, or even as rings.

Currently, fine watches designed for women are always updated with the introduction of new models and styles. Often, annual styles and designs are introduced, making it nearly impossible for any fashionable woman to limit herself to just basic timepieces. However, building a basic collection is important. To do that, you will need to cover all categories; dress watches, jewelry watches, and sports watches. One brand can carry watches that fall under each of the listed categories; however, you can build a more interesting collection by choosing from a smorgasbord of watchmakers and include Jeanneret watch in that treat.

Sports timepieces were created to suit the needs of the active woman. It doesn't matter what your physical activity of choice is; be it as extreme as rock climbing or ocean diving, or it could be fairly conventional, like running or Pilates. You need a high-performing timepiece that works both in and out of the the water, and has a chronograph, alarm, or stopwatch. This is also why sports watches are made with durable parts of leather, rubber, steel, and even titanium. Sport watches for women have smaller parts and thinner straps compared to their male counterparts'. Pastel-colored sports watches match fair complexion nicely. Darker skin will better match straps and watch faces that are either neutrally-colored, or have extremely bright colors.

Timepieces used for dressy occasions are the second category to consider. Dress watches are staples for any woman. Traditionally, a dress watch often meant a watch in a classic design and in white gold or yellow. Needless to say, dress watches then were the epitome of elegance. These days the characteristics of a dress watch are much more lax. A watch with no Velcro, rubber straps, over-sized parts, or even huge makings qualifies as a dress watch. Such dress watches can allow transitioning smoothly from formal events to more casual occasions. Jeanneret watches has a wonderful selection of such watches.

Jewelry timepieces are those that took long periods of craftsmanship to be created and put together. Often, these watches are embellished with stones and precious gems that were selected and matched accordingly, based on color, clarity, and even perfection, before being set into the watch.

The history of fine timepieces for women is truly one that inspires interest from how they have transitioned from pocket watches to the sleek watches that we now see. Don't forget, choose a timepiece that you'll be comfortable wearing. If you had to pick only one watch to own, choose a watch that is not boxed into one of the categories above.
