Mother's Day is this Sunday, 9 May, in Switzerland and in most of the world! On this occasion, we went around the office to ask the following question of our colleagues who were also mothers: "What watch do you dream of receiving as a present from your children?"
With over 50 years of experience in the watch industry between the four of them, their colourful selection is a mine of information for gift ideas... Hopefully the next few lines will reach the ears of the relevant people (hint, hint, kids).
Alexandra Montandon, Administrative and Accounting Manager at GMT Publishing
Piaget, Altiplano Ultimate Concept
"Because a mother performs miracles of finesse and innovation for her family on a daily basis, the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept would be ideal as a Mother's Day gift. A watch that can be forgotten on the wrist thanks to its lightness and ergonomics, it accompanies us everywhere, whatever our outings on land or water, we never take it off."
Olivia Rossati, Commercial Director at WorldTempus
Cartier, Maillon de Cartier
"The Cartier Maillon would be a wonderful representation of the beauty and strength of our family... and above all it would be a real little jewel to have on my wrist!"
Sophie Furley, Editor at WorldTempus
Oris, Miscellaneous Sixty-Five "Cotton Candy"
"For Mother’s Day, I would definitely drop hints about the Oris Divers Sixty-Five “Cotton Candy”. I don’t know why but this collection just makes me smile. Releasing a collection like this was not without risk for the brand as it breaks away from all the masculine colour codes of the Sixty-Five line, but the watch industry loved it, and so do I. I’ll take the turquoise, please… or maybe the pink… but then again, the green is rather nice too. I guess I’ll have to let my kids decide!"
Camille Guille, GMT Magazine Sales Manager
Rolex, Oyster Perpetual Datejust
"This watch just makes me dream because it's very gold and my kids can identify Rolex because it's the brand "with the crown". It will be sold by Sotheby's at Bucherer on May 11, a slightly overdue Mother's Day gift that's worth waiting for."
