HK$91,000

The oval dial is inspired by the Coliseum in Rome. The men's version has  45mm diameter cases and an oversized crown. The women's collection  is gem-encrusted and has soft-coloured dials and straps.  Pictured is a piece with a pastel blue crocodile leather strap, diamond-set bezel and blue dial with light silver zone.

Franck Muller Chronometro

From HK$196,000

an oval circumference on the dial. The watches come in  black and  pastel colours with matching straps that stress  femininity.

Gerald Charles Star Lady Baby

From HK$63,000

At 30mm in diameter, this quartz watch is considered small compared with earlier  pieces in the line. It comes with  pastel-hued satin straps to suit the mood.   The dial carries a heart-shaped gem (ruby, orange garnet or blue sapphire).

Gerald Genta Octo Bi-retro

HK$499,000

Black and white diamonds criss-cross the dial and bezel, matched with a hairy zebra-striped leather strap.

Montblanc Profile Lady Couture

HK$7,650

The tweed straps will go  well with  office attire of a similar pattern.

Piaget Miss Protocole  (with interchangeable straps)

From HK$94,700

Why change a watch when you can simply change the strap and have a completely new look? Piaget's Miss Protocole series has  fancy straps to match any look. You could have a black muslin strap tied around the wrist like a ribbon, or a feature strap, or  one that is free-flowing with crystal beads.  Don't let your imagination limit you.
