Ebel has been on a bit of a reinvention streak not too long ago and this stylish black ceramic number, the latest addition to its X-1 assortment, which launched in 2012, definitely embodies that.

At 34mm, it isn't for ladies who like their watches boyfriend sized, but for many who like their timepieces more female without looking too girly, it's the excellent piece of wrist candy. Though the black ceramic and stainless steel case contains a crown set with 15 diamonds, while the bezel boasts forty eight diamonds, it is not overly flashy and is the best transition watch from day to nighttime.

De Grisogono Sugar
The British press was treated to a preview of De Grisogono’s Sugar watches on Valentine’s Day, which is apt because all of us fell in love with them.

The timepieces include white diamonds, emeralds, orange or blue sapphires and can be both full-pavé or with a mother-of-pearl dial. They may be quartz, but the talent on this watch lies within the gem-setting strategies. The stones around the dial are irregularly sized and the stones that radiate from the appropriate aspect of the dial are articulated.

The design itself is impressed by a sugar dice – therefore the name. They usually actually are slightly bit of decadent sweetness.

Guess
Within the eighties, Guess’s advertising campaigns featured girls similar to Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigová and Laetitia Casta, all sporting intercourse-rumpled hair, bruised lips and impossibly cool denim.

So it comes as no shock that this yr’s watch collection is impressed by what Guess began off doing – denim. The colourways are a denim-complementing blue and rose gold, which, for girls, means polished rose gold case, dial and bracelet. It is a daring statement, however one that now we have come to anticipate from this model.

This 12 months’s Basel providing, the Tremendous-Slim Ice, isn't any less colourful, however it does have loads less width. It's created from a single piece of rubber from the strap to the case with the hands and the indices in a contrasting colour.

There are so many options to select from, but we’re reasonably enamoured with this yellow and blue model. Yellow was all around the catwalks this season, nevertheless it’s a difficult colour to put on, so this is the proper approach to work the shade without wanting like a large banana.
RRP: £70
