Corum’s limited-edition Artisan Collection, which features hand-painted works of art on mother-of-pearl dials (from $29,000), introduces several new themes a year, such as brightly colored toucans. The 46mm Classical Billionaire Tourbillon comes in four varieties, including a diamond-and-sapphire bracelet model ($975,000; corum.ch).
At Kriëger, one size fits all. Its unisex Gigantium family features at least four limited-edition collections with specs up to 51mm. The Fav Elite collection sets a vintage look with bright dial colors and alligator straps to match (from $2,000; kriegerwatch.com).
Gerald Genta’s most popular larger model for women is the Octo Biretro. The triple octagon case with red enamel dial has a mosaic of black and white diamonds, and comes with a matching zebra-print leather strap ($64,500; geraldgenta.com).
The 38mm Van Cleef & Arpels 18-karat white-gold Lady Arpels Féerie watch features a fairy whose magic wand and diamond wings track the hours and minutes. Now if only its powers could compel her to be on time ($86,500; vancleef.com).
