Who needs a diamond ring when you can buy yourself a diamond watch instead? Well, maybe not right away — but perhaps in the very near future after you have saved up for it. Because, really, when it comes to buying a diamond watch, you would want to take your sweet time before committing.

Granted you will be shelling out a lot of money for a diamond watch. But it’s a lifetime investment, one that you’ll be able to pass down from generation to generation, especially since we are not just talking about simple diamond hour-markers here. We mean full-on, all-diamond watches.

Here are eight of the most covetable ladies’ diamond watches you can post on your vision boards — for now — to keep you all inspired and motivated.

Bvlgari Serpenti Jewellery Watch

No woman likes a snake unless it’s a Bvlgari snake. The Italian luxury house first introduced the Serpenti motif in the 1940s when it produced snake-inspired bracelets. But it was in the 1960s when the Italian luxury brand introduced its Tubogas-style Serpenti watches that the world took notice.  

The Serpenti design became a household name when it was seen on the wrist of Elizabeth Taylor on the set of her movie ‘Cleopatra’. Sixty years later, the snake motif continues to seduce.

This Serpenti Jewellery watch in 18K white gold is sexy and sophisticated without being too over the top. Powered by a quartz movement, the dainty 26mm timepiece features a snow-set pavé dial, while the single spiral bracelet is set with brilliant-cut diamonds.

Sensual, unique, and certainly not for the faint of heart, the Serpenti Jewellery watch can be yours for US$83,000. If you want something less expensive with a pop of colour, the Serpenti Tubogas watch with a red lacquered dial is a stunning option, too!

Van Cleef & Arpels Ruban Secret Watch

You haven’t seen ‘flirty feminine’ until you have laid eyes on the Van Cleef & Arpels’ Ruban diamond watch. Think ribbons, diamonds, and the playful seduction of a secret watch.

A total of 20.66-carat round diamonds of various sizes adorn the 18K white gold dial, bracelet, and bow. And within its dainty frame lies a quartz movement.

Giving a nod to haute couture with the delicate ribbon design — an iconic motif by Van Cleef & Arpels since the 1920s — this high jewellery timepiece is a sight to behold. Gently slide the jewelled bow to hide or reveal the time.
