To many women out there, the world of luxury watches might seem like a boys’ club. Sean Connery’s James Bond character sports a Rolex Submariner, U.S. presidents frequently show off stately Day-Date watches, and the CEO of LinkedIn rocks a classic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Is there room for women and watches tailored to feminine styles in this space?
Here at Avi & Co., we know that the answer is a resounding yes. Men’s watches may seem like they are dominating the airwaves – but that doesn’t mean the ladies have been forgotten about. Many top watchmakers have actually designed lines specifically for women wearers. Plus, in today’s modern world, women are staking a claim on oversize “men’s” watches, too.
Let’s take a look at today’s watch trends for women and the watches created with ladies in mind.
The Legacy of Women’s Wrist Wear
Women’s watch styles are not a newfangled creation, even if that is what popular media would have you believe. In fact, Europe’s courtly women actually

There are some moments in life that stand out above the rest. From graduations to milestone birthdays to wedding days, we honor these moments with toasts, celebrations, and… yes, gifts. When you’re celebrating one of these major accomplishments in life, you want to get a gift that mirrors the significance of the moment. And what better gift than a wristwatch?
Today, let’s take a look at some of the major milestones in life that warrant a wristwatch. Plus, we’ll offer a few suggestions on selecting the perfect timepiece for each event, featuring selections from top brands like Richard Mille, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe.
Why Is a Watch the Perfect Gift?
When you give a luxury wristwatch as a gift, you are quite literally giving the gift of time – something that we all wish we had a little more of. It shows that you wish that person success in the future, that you value their time, and that you are happy to share your time with them.
In the course of our relationships, we ask each other countless questions. What’s your name? Can I get your number? Where do you want to eat tonight? Did you pay the phone bill? What do you want for Christmas? What time does our flight leave?
But there is one question that makes all of the rest pale in comparison… Will you marry me?
When you get down on one knee to ask the love of your life to spend forever with you, there is a lot on the line. You’re only doing this once (not counting all of those times you practiced in the mirror leading up to the big day) – so it’s crucial to get every detail just right. When you open up the velvet box containing the most important piece of jewelry you’ve ever purchased, you want to achieve the ultimate WOW factor.
With an Avi & Co. engagement ring, that’s exactly what you’ll achieve. Our jaw-dropping fine diamond jewelry is GIA-certified and premium quality. And when it comes to size, we’re not afraid to show off – and you shouldn’t be either! Show
With the day of love right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start shopping for that special someone in your life. Whether you are celebrating a budding new relationship or a lasting commitment that is tried and true, showing them you care with a Valentine’s Day present like no other is a fail-safe way to ensure this holiday is the best one yet.
When you’re shopping for a luxury watch for Valentine’s Day, it’s more important than ever to ensure you are choosing a timepiece that will speak to the intended recipient. Do they love wearing watches that sparkle with diamond-studded bezels, bracelets, or dials? Are they a sucker for watches with a historical connection? Do they appreciate classic silhouettes or do they lean toward trendy new angles?
Going into your Valentine’s Day watch shopping with an idea of your special someone’s preferences and style is the best way to choose the perfect watch to gift to them… but if you’re not sure where to begin, dive into Avi & Co.’s Valentine’s
A smooth satin box, tied with a neat bow, waits for you on the counter. You run your finger over the side of the box, taking in the velvety texture. Carefully untying the ribbon, you lift the lid. Immediately, you are met with the earthy, sweet scent of chocolate, slight undertones of creamy caramel and jammy fruit wafting up toward you. The box of truffles, ranging from buttery white chocolate to bitter dark cacao, is full of glossy globes of goodness.
Which one will you choose? Maybe the white orb drizzled with dark chocolate decorations – when you take a bite, you’ll feel the tang of raspberry jam combining with sweet white chocolate ganache dancing on your tongue. Or maybe you’ll opt for the medium brown cube sprinkled with flaky sea salt. Inside, a praline caramel flirts with the salty exterior, the perfect marriage of flavor.
Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? Is your mouth watering yet?
Savoring a box of decadent chocolate truffles is one thing… but imagine opening that same box to
Arguably the most important holiday in China, Lunar New Year marks the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar and harkens the arrival of spring. It celebrates hope for a bright and prosperous future, and it reminds us of the cyclical nature of life and the importance of spending time with family. The holiday is imbued with deep spiritual meaning and symbolism and is celebrated around the world in countries like South Korea and Vietnam as well as in Chinatown enclaves across the United States.
In 2025, Lunar New Year will be celebrated on Wednesday, January 29, and will usher in the Year of the Snake. Each year is marked by an animal from the Chinese zodiac, of which there are twelve: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Every animal has a certain significance, and children born in a certain year are said to be influenced by the zodiac animal that reigns during their birth.
Lunar New Year celebrations are typically loud, colorful,
Maybe you have heard the term “consignment” before, or maybe this arrangement is brand-new to you. For both seasoned consignment veterans and newcomers to watch consignment, we have put together a comprehensive guide to consigning your luxury timepieces. In addition to defining consignment, we’ll cover some pros and cons, where to consign high-end watches, and why you might consider this strategy as you build a watch collection.
What Is Consignment?
Consignment is a business arrangement in which a third party is authorized to sell an item or items on behalf of another party. Now, that is Investopedia’s formal definition, but what does consignment really mean, in terms everyone can understand?
To better understand the concept of consignment, let’s use an illustrative example. Imagine that you own an antique chair that you are hoping to sell. You know that this chair is valuable – it possesses tradition and history, and it was handcrafted years ago by a talented Colonial artisan.
As we kick off January with New Year’s Day, the first month of the year signifies a time for growth, rebirth, and rejuvenation. Coming off a busy holiday season, January allows us to center ourselves and focus on our goals for the upcoming year. What do we want to accomplish in the next 365 days? How can we leave the world around us better than we found it? What do we hope to celebrate in the twelve months ahead?
Couple this newfound motivation and clarity with cold weather and cozy winter nights, and you have the atmosphere of January. In addition to New Year’s Day, January gives us an opportunity to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day as well as various awareness months such as National Blood Donor Month, Mental Wellness Awareness Month, and National Braille Literacy Month.
This clean and crisp start to the year is also associated with the zodiac signs Capricorn and Aquarius, carnation flowers, and the birthstone garnet. If you were born in the month of January or have someone special
One of the most striking and unusual watches on the market today, the Cartier Crash has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. In fact, it’s safe to say that the Crash is the watch of the moment. Worn by pop culture icons like Jay-Z, Timothee Chalamet, and Tom Brady, the Cartier Crash is the accessory that everyone is lusting over right now.
So what’s the story behind this modern-day marvel? How did it rise to fame and popularity while breaking horological boundaries at every step along the way? And most importantly, how can you get your hands on a Cartier Crash to add to your collection?
The Legend Behind the Cartier Crash
You may have heard the Cartier Crash watch referred to as the “Dali watch” – or maybe you thought the watch looked like a classic Salvador Dali painting if you noticed it on Sebastian Stan’s wrist at the 2024 Met Gala. You know the painting we’re talking about. It’s that one with all of the clocks that defy physics, folding over and hanging off of different
