Chopard Grand Prix de Monaco Silver Dial Chronograph Men's Watch 158

If you haven't noticed that top watch brands have been focusing more keenly on women's watches throughout the past few years then you may have had your head stuck in the sand. Evidence of their incredible zeal for women's mechanicals can be found in the vast selection of women's high-mech watches nominated for this year's Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. Here we outline a few of those special mechanical timepieces - focusing specifically on tourbillons for women.

DeLaneau Angel
From DeLaneau - a brand distinguished by its savoir faire with the artistic side of time—a special 18-karat rose gold case houses a manual wind movement with tourbillon escapement - both deftly underscoring the brand's technical and innovative side. Part of the Dome Tourbillon collection, the Delaneau Angel is created as a unique piece. It features an incredible grand feu enamel dial with the likeness of an angel floating across it. The rose gold case is set with 35 baguette-cut diamonds and an additional 285 diamonds. Additionally, the tourbillon escapement is set with 76 diamonds (52 baguettes, 24 brilliants). In all, the watch boasts 12.44 carats of diamonds.

Chopard Happy Sport Tourbillon Joaillerie
The iconic Chopard Happy Diamonds collection is always evolving and capturing new hearts and souls. Now, as part of the Happy Sport collection, Chopard release the Tourbillon Joaillerie - an entirely diamond-adorned timepiece that goes a step further by housing a L.U.C tourbillon movement. The L.U.C 02.16-L caliber - produced in house by Chopard - even features a diamond-set tourbillon bridge. The watch is offered in either 18-karat white or rose gold with snow set diamonds on the dial. The bezel is further bedecked with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds. In this watch, seven moving diamonds spin between the two sapphire crystals—screaming independence and free spirited elegance. The movement is endowed with nine days of power reserve.

Chaumet Hortensia Tourbillon  
This newest timepiece from Chaumet, part of the Hortensia collection, is created in a limited edition of 12 pieces and clearly celebrates nature's flowers in all their beauty.

The blue and purple enamel backdrop to the dial-less watch further underscores the technical prowess of the tourbillon timepiece. Part of the Tondo collection, this Tourbillon Gioiello S05 is created in a limited edition of 12 pieces. Diamonds surround the watch as though framing the workmanship within.
