Top 7 Mother's Day Gift Picks

Mother's Day is less than a week away and we are here to bring you our top picks that will guarantee a smile on her face and style on her wrist.

In 2021, Mother's Day has different connotations. It could be a child celebrating their mother, or someone appreciating and cherishing a maternal presence in their life or anyone just taking this day as an opportunity to treat themselves. There is no limit to the 'way' the day is to be celebrated now. So this Mother's Day, we bring you a flurry of timepieces that we think are suitable for every kind of celebration you are planning to have.

For the mom who likes jewellery: Chopard Happy Diamonds Joallerie

Elegant, unique and beautiful, the Chopard Happy Diamonds Joallerie is a timepiece featuring an enchanting cascade of diamonds. Deeply inspired by Chopard's joie de vivre spirit, from a distance the watch looks beautiful and elegant, and on a closer glance you can notice its 'naughty' nature. How? The timepiece houses 15 dancing diamonds that are swirling around the Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial playing a nifty game of hide-and-seek. This peek-a-boo is possible via the gallery placed between 3 and 9 o' clock. This allows the diamonds to temporarily be hidden out of sight on the dial.

Set at 39mm, the 18K red gold case of the Happy Diamonds Joaillerie is presented on a grey brushed canvas strap that matches the colour of the Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial.

The timepiece is a Chopard Boutique exclusive.

For the mom who likes a classic touch: Rolex Lady DateJust

When it comes to a classic watch, there is no better a choice than the Rolex Lady DateJust. And for good reason. Set with the signature features that one usually finds on a Rolex watch, the timepiece comes in a 28mm Oyster case made from yellow gold. This is further enhanced with the presence of an elegant silver dial and an Oyster bracelet.

Apart from the design codes of the watch that echo the immense value a Rolex watch demands, the timepiece also stays true to the brand's promise of technical superiority. The Rolex Lady DateJust is powered by the precise and efficient Calibre 2236 automatic in-house movement that clocks in a power reserve of 55 hours.

For the mom who embraces 'the bold': Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One

Jaeger-LeCoultre took a classic and legendary watch like the Reverso and gave it a feminine aesthetic for 2020. The Reverso One is one of the most beautiful iterations in the entire collection. Distinguished by its elongated case and the row of grain-set diamonds present at the upper and lower edges of the case, the Reverso One's red wine colour took everyone by surprise.

The beautiful dial glows due to process of applying multiples layers of lacquer over a subtle sunray guilloché pattern. The white Arabic numerals and the cool stainless-steel case adds to the richness of the red wine dial. The presence of a red-wine colour shiny alligator strap that not only perfectly matches the dial of the watch but also adds a sense of elegance to it.
