In the words of Henry Rollins, I don't hate much, but when I do, it is with style and creativity.
"Ladies" watches - URGH! Ever try to actually read the dials on one of those? If, in fact, we are all created equal - my assumption is that women do not have supernatural vision, but yet and still, again and again tiny, dainty, "mosquito-sized" drops of watches are conceived (or contrived) for women that are simply not functional.
This is not one of those watches -
This is one of the latest offerings from JEANRICHARD - a watch for women. Beautiful, feminine - and FUNCTIONAL! Thank you!
In their own words -
AQUASCOPE LADY “NIGHT”
JEANRICHARD pays tribute to women with a glamorous version of the Aquascope:
The Aquascope Lady Night. This diving watch, whose aesthetic codes are inspired by a
historic JEANRICHARD model from the 1960s, expresses the sport-chic style and spirit of
discovery which are so dear to the Brand.
A key period in JEANRICHARD's history, which spans over 3 centuries, the 1960s saw
the Brand make a name for itself through the creation of diving watches. The Aquascope
is a characteristic expression of the aesthetic approach adopted during this period. This is
particularly true of its steel case, which combines a tonneau middle with a round rotating
bezel. The two crowns are an original touch, with the one at 9 o'clock used to rotate the
bidirectional bezel in order to measure the dive time.
Unique and sparkling, the Aquascope Lady Night reflects the sport-chic spirit so dear
to JEANRICHARD. The retro-inspired model expresses a resolutely contemporary
character. Its elegance is enhanced by the choice of intense black. Playing with subtle
contrasts, its dial is adorned with 8 diamond indexes marking the hours, while the black
aluminium bezel uses alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces. The red arrow of
the second hand lends a discreet touch of colour, echoing that on the date display. In
technical terms, the Aquascope stays true to the calibre JR1000 automatic movement
manufactured in the Brand's workshops.
This watch is also available with a white mother of pearl dial and a white fabric strap: the
Aquascope Lady Day.
Both models are available with a bezel setting.

Nice, nice, nice... and I completely agree-- why should men get all the fun with watches of substance? This is a fine-looking timepiece indeed!
