Breitling really don't pay that much attention to the fairer sex, with the trend to bigger watches, how about an all-gold montbrillant as a ladies watch??

(not that I'm saying it isn't a great watch for smaller wristed men but it would be lost on my gorilla wrists!)

For my wife the Montbrillant is too 'fussy'. She has the SOH 38 in bronze and a TT Cockpit Lady. I think a gold SOH may be a better bet than the Montbrillant which still has a masculine look to it - albeit in a smaller size.

My wife tried on a Montbrilliant. The 38mm piece looked good on her wrist.

I think that all ladies Breitling watches (except perhaps the Starliner) just look a bit too masculine.

I can understand that - they're a man's watch in miniature. My wife's CL suits her because she isn't an overly feminine woman - if that makes sense, and the 8 diamond markers suit her - any more would be too much for her taste.

The SOH 38 is a practical everyday watch and the femininity isn't really an issue.

Incidentally, whoever designed the new Starliner should be taken out and shot - it's truly awful.

My girlfriend has tried on just about all the Breitling watches, and though she loves the way they look, just can't get used to how they look on her wrists. She suits bracelet style watches that have very thin lines.. she is a girly girl, but even the blue and pink models didn't work for her.

I actually started this forum because one of our female members requested it.. so hopefully she and the other ladies here make use of it. :)

Oh yeah - she describes herself that way.

Let's face it when you have 90 acres of land and a team of sled dogs to look after she isn't spending hours on her makeup every morning!
