The life of a female is such a remarkable event. Even looking at the female evolution, it’s truly a wonderful journey to explore. Life as we know it, wouldn’t be so colourful, worth living and precious to many today without the humble, courageous and yet powerful nature of this gender. Some believe females are the most authentic definition of beauty. If you find this hard to believe ask yourself why everything purely feminine at its core, radiates love.

The role females have always played on earth is of nurturer. Today, society is gifted with different forms of feminine energy on a daily basis. You’ll find the best of these in Fortune 500 companies, farms and what we used to believe were predominantly masculine areas like the military.  This evidence does not do justice to how far the female has come, let alone how further her dynamic nature is capable of transforming over the time.

Speaking of time, did you know that females actually popularised wearing wristwatches ages ago? Let’s face it, majority of males wouldn’t bother about many things in life, if they weren’t important to females. In this case, it was wearing female wristwatches, formerly known as “wristlets”. Civilian males were not interested in the feminine versions of the comfortably macho pocket watch they much liked, except for soldiers from the Boer and First World Wars.

The greatest watchmaker of all time, Abraham-Louis Breguet, designed the first “bracelet watch” for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples and sister of Napoleon 1st, over 200 years ago. The likes of Patek Philippe broke new grounds in 1916 with a ladies five minute repeater and Gallet introduced the first ladies watch with a stopwatch feature which was known as the MultiChron Petite in 1936. It was high in-demand among females working in the French armed forces.

All thanks to these brilliant creators, females all over the world now enjoy an array of timepieces with pearls, platinum or gold and even diamond detail. We are spoilt for choice! If you like expressing yourself by wearing your own creative designs, you can get one custom-made. Perhaps, you have a special someone you’d like to gift with an engraved personalised watch.
