The keywords are "update" and "anniversary": 2020's hottest new ladies' watches

Due to the impact of COVID-19, trade shows in Switzerland were canceled in 2020. However, various brands still announced exciting new watches. Among these new ladies' watches, we introduce the latest topics you can't miss, including updated masterpieces and iconic watches celebrating their 20th anniversaries!

Cartier kicks off 2020 with a new look for the Pasha

　The Pasha, which first appeared in 1985 and has been passed down as one of Cartier's signature pieces, has been revamped. While retaining the design codes of the time, such as Arabic numerals and a screw-down crown cover with a chain, the new model also meets modern needs by being interchangeable, allowing for easy strap and bracelet changes. The 35mm diameter gives it an appealing, genderless size. It's somehow nostalgic yet endlessly fresh. This is a noteworthy new release that will appeal not only to existing fans but also to a new generation.

The ever-loved masterpiece, Chanel's "J12," continues its successful run

　The J12 continues to reign as a Chanel icon. To celebrate the collection's 20th anniversary, a series of new releases, including an anniversary watch, have been released. The J12 Paradox embodies the "black and white" world beloved by Mademoiselle Chanel. The sophisticated craftsmanship of combining black and white ceramic into a single case is not to be missed. Meanwhile, the J12 20, featuring Chanel's symbols on the dial, is a playful model with a touch of refinement. The rhodium-plated dial and bezel feature the No. 5 perfume and camellia flower, a striking feat. Last year's redesign of the J12 drew much attention, and this year the 33mm model has also been redesigned. Subtle minor changes have been made to the bezel width, notation, and railway track design, reflecting the company's commitment to "changing everything without changing anything."

Grand Seiko and Franck Muller timepieces celebrate a memorable year

　Chanel's J12 isn't the only watch celebrating its anniversary in 2020. This year, Grand Seiko celebrates its 60th anniversary, and Franck Muller's iconic Long Island watch celebrates its 20th anniversary.

　Grand Seiko has released a limited edition model with a dial in navy blue, the brand's color and a traditional Japanese color. It is also noteworthy that it is equipped with the small women's caliber "9S27," which resembles an escape wheel with five petals. Franck Muller's anniversary model, the "Long Island Relief "Heart Diamond," features a cute heart motif at the 1 o'clock position. Together with the three-dimensional "relief"-finished indexes, it creates a truly dynamic look.
