[Blancpain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blancpain-villeret-golden-hour) has joined the luxury launches with these two gorgeous [rose gold watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-gold-tourbillon-souscription). One of the brand's exquisite watches, The Chronographe Grande Date, throughly embodies subtle luxury and femininity. It has an 18K rose gold case with a bezel and is studded with 40 diamonds. The other watch is an equally elegant, [gorgeous flower design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-time-collection) that features a white leather strap with a rose gold buckle. The watch faces are both very usual. One of the watch features numbers that are completely out of place, and another is covered with a flower motif. Both watches are versatile and can be worn on multiple kinds of occasions. Speaking directly to men who are looking to get their partners a gracious women’s day present, the pieces in this watch collection will be guaranteed knock outs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/watches) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Unconventional Luxury Watches:** Using unusual designs and materials for luxury watches, creating a unique selling point and differentiation in the market. - **Versatile Watch Faces:** Creating watches with unconventional watch faces presents an opportunity to appeal to a wider range of consumers. - **Elegance and Femininity:** Designing watches that embody subtle luxury and femininity can appeal to female consumers and differentiate from more masculine watch options. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Accessories:** Expanding the unconventional luxury watch market within the luxury accessories industry. - **Watch Manufacturing:** Offering unconventional watch designs and materials within the watch manufacturing industry. - **Jewelry Manufacturing:** Creating luxury watch pieces with studded diamonds can open up opportunities to include luxury jewelry into product lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Dress Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blancpain-villeret-golden-hour.md) - [Feminine Lavender-Hued Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gshock-gmap2125w6a.md) - [Rose Gold Luxurious Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-gold-tourbillon-souscription.md) - [Curated Womens Watch Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chteau-divoire.md) - [Sophisticated Pastel Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquaracer-professional-300.md) - [Striking Luxury Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/j12-watch.md) - [Spring-Forward Floral Design Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blossom-time-collection.md) - [Timeless Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-premier.md) - [Luxe Bold Dress Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-plat-rose-gold.md)
