Pad's Predictions In The Ladies Category Of The 2018 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève

The GPHG foundation describes the Ladies category for watches entered as: "Comprising only the following indications: hours, minutes, seconds, date, power reserve, and/or classic moon phase These timepieces may be adorned with a maximum of eight carats' worth of gemstones." IS: While ladies' watches have come a long way from adding a bit of glitter to a smallish men's watch, my first reaction upon seeing the six pre-selected Ladies watches was, "Really, this is the best we can do?" I can't help feeling that women deserve more and are looking for more than a few scintillating gems, so I'll ignore all precious and semi-precious stones and judge the watches here on their less apparent merits Always a bit contentious, this category presents a variety of timepieces that seek to represent what a woman wants, but in reality as a man I couldn't hope to know precisely what it is in a particular watch that entrances a woman.

AT: Five women's watches and the Moritz Grossmann: I would say that pretty much sums up this year's Ladies category IS: The Moritz Grossmann Tefnut Twist Classic is the watch I think should win the Ladies category JM: In my second place I have chosen a watch that many might have as the clear winner, however I feel the execution is a little lacking for a true ladies watch.

A pity because I consider the Lucea an excellent general design and one of the most impressive ladies watches currently available - as long as you get one with a dial! While I consider this one a hot mess I also wouldn't be surprised if the Bulgari actually wins. . Source
