Not only are Fabergé’s latest timepieces designed exclusively for women, they’re designed especially for them. The Lady Fabergé collection, available in 36 mm and 39 mm variations, was created to complement a feminine wrist both in dimension and divine detail. While particularly slender lugs are a tribute to the first women’s watches imagined by Peter Carl Fabergé, delicate minute and hour hands feature an oval eyelet as an ode to the brand’s signature egg objets d’art. And the ladylike nods to history don’t end there. On the side, a moonstone-bedecked crown replicates a decorative note once seen on Fabergé cigarette cases.

While each of the line's pieces are self-winding with an anti-reflective treatment, only the 36 mm version boasts a twin-disk dial which makes its Roman numerals appear deep-set.
