Could you recommend a Watch for the Missus.
Hello,
1000 euro budget.
She's corporate management. Normally wears casual jeans w/ heels/seekers, blazer. Attends a lot of meetings.
She... cares very little about watches but does wear bracelets / fashions watches. Something with as little maintenance as possible so I'm thinking quartz?
I'm looking for something more feminine, elegant /calssy, dainty since she's slim.
Something she can wear everyday to the office.
I'd appreciate some suggestions.
Thank you! 🙇

My wife works corporate as well! I would recommend vintage or quartz Cartier. Or Longines makes a great tank watch as well (which I totally forgot the name of) pre-owned Tag Heuer women’s watches are nice too! I would recommend EBay or The Real Real. My humble 2 cents!🙏
35mm Quartz PRX, in pink or mother of pearl? or Frederique Constant Classics Carree Small Seconds?
Agree with the 35mm PRX.
I got my wife a 35mm quartz Paulin in silver and paired it with a slim shell cordovan strap from Delugs. Women founded and women owned company, very slim, funky, can be dressed up and looks just awesome on her ~5.75” wrist. The actual watch wears a bit smaller IRL than in the photo below - I think she shot that up close with the 1x lens. $500.
FYI if you do go this route their leather straps are very thick. I’d consider the fabric or mesh.
Tissot makes a 25mm PRX quartz now for women.
Longines has a master collection 34mm time only 3 hander. Engraved breguet numerals on silver dial, with blued hands.
Kuoe Kyoto old smith 007 is a 35mm white dial, blued hands, small seconds. Vintage looks.
Also Tag Heuer makes some of the best women's watches that aren't just "pink it and shrink it" or "add diamonds." Their mother of pearl and blue Carreras are gorgeous and elegant. 29mm if I recall.

According to your recommendation I found this beautiful thing
One problem... It's about 4 grand 😵
I was thinking more like this one, which is 2850 new. I'm not sure I'd recommend wearing a diamond encrusted Swiss watch to work at a corporate office. They'll start thinking she doesn't need a raise.
