What can be the hottest dream labels in a woman’s wishlist? A dress from Emporio Armani, lingerie by Victoria’s Secret, shoes from Christian Louboutin, bag from Louis Vuitton, jewelries from Harry Winston and crystals from Swarovski.

All these designer names are dazzling enough. Naturally, a lady’s wrist also calls for something equivalent to luxury in the form of ladies watches and designer watches. Maybe luxury watches such as a Cartier or a Rolex and other luxury watch brands. It’s like saying true luxury is limited.
