Delicate and beautiful, just like mum, our selection of watches for Mother’s Day makes sure there is something to suit every taste.

BAUME & MERCIER

Pretty sure you remember the promises you made to your mother over the years; from promising to clean your room, to eating your vegetables and getting straight A’s in school. Even though you probably tried really hard to keep every promise, there’s a slim chance you slipped up more times than you should have.

Make it up to mum this Mother’s Day with an unexpected Promesse from Baume & Mercier. The Promesse Moon Phase is the first complicated watch from the brand’s Promesse collection, launched in 2014.

The collection’s signature oval bezel is set with 30 brilliant-cut diamonds arranged as two crescents on either side of the case. Each crescent has 15 diamonds, weighing a total of 0.38 carats.

The blue lacquer dial perfectly complements the moon phase indicator at 12 o’clock and the diamond hour-markers mark 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock as well. The beautiful moon phase indicator displays the phases of the moon surrounded by twinkling stars which creates a poetic picture.

A beautiful blue alligator leather strap completes the look of this watch.
