Ladies' watches, unfortunately, don’t often get the attention they deserve. It seems to be assumed that women are fine with shoddily designed timepieces devoid of soul. Of course, this is nonsense — there’s no reason whatsoever that a lady’s watch should be any less considered than a man’s! Gianni Bulgari, a watch designer and third-generation member of the famed Greek-Italian jewelry dynasty, clearly doesn't feel this way. In 1989, following the sale of his stake in the Bulgari company to his family, he established a new watchmaking firm called GB Enigma in Switzerland to design compelling timepieces with unusual designs. This particular Enigma is an exceptional piece fashioned from stainless steel. Encapsulating exactly the type of design-first mentality that Enigma took in crafting its unique pieces, it features a sapphire cabochon crown and a sapphire crystal. This piece most notably boasts an asymmetrical, almost claw-like case profile unlike anything else on the market, plus a handsome guilloche silver dial with applied 'baton' and 'Arabic' indices and a 'dauphine' handset. The blue leather strap integrates directly into the case for a seamless flow tied together by a stainless steel deployant clasp, while a handy quartz movement serves as the power plant. For someone on the hunt for a design-forward timepiece to accompany an elegant night at a soirée or gala, it's an ideal choice. And did we mention it comes with its box and papers?
