It may be an unconventional Valentine’s Day this year, but who’s to say you can’t make it an exceptional one. Here we offer 14 suggestions to make the day very special indeed for her with gifts both little and large. (We’re sure you’ve already got the flowers arranged).
Omega Constellation
Say it with horology with this unmistakably feminine timepiece. The enduring representation of the moon to symbolise love and romance makes the Omega Constellation an ideal pick. This celestial connection is particularly heightened with its blue aventurine glass dial to evoke a starry night sky, and the famous half-moons of this collection. All this is encased in 18k Sedna gold and stainless steel, with a diamond-paved bezel on this 29mm piece. Powering this is one of the most robust and resilient movements in a ladies timepiece, the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8700, which can be viewed via a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal case back.
