The new vogue for “large” (comparatively, that is) ladies’ watches was firmly launched at the 1963 Montres & Bijoux exhibition (held in Geneva 5 to 27 October). Today’s woman wants her watch to be not only part of her toilette, but a dependable, easy-to-consult instrument for measuring time accurately and getting her where she wants to go on the minute. Even the diamond watches are larger and easier to read. This white gold watch is surrounded by a ring of diamonds and sapphires. (Audemars Piguet)
