Women, forgotten in the watch industry?
Historically, the watch industry has often been male-centric. The most significant innovations were first introduced in men's watches before gradually spreading to all available models. This has resulted in women's watch options being sidelined, relegating them to a small number of options in terms of timepieces available on the market.
This situation has resulted in a neglect of women in the world of watchmaking, with offers often limited in terms of styles, functions and designs adapted to their needs and tastes.
For decades, the Women's watches have often been reduced to simple accessories fashion rather than functional and sophisticated timepieces. Choices were often limited, with a predominance of watches that were smaller, adorned with jewels, and sometimes perceived as less technical than those of their male counterparts.

This trend has gradually evolved over time with the emergence of more “inclusive” watch brands, among others. Seiko, offering a more diverse range of women's watches. However, even today, the women's watch market is often underestimated, and the options offered can still be limited compared to those aimed at men.
Seiko has always known how to democratize its watches and has succeeded in penetrating markets often neglected by other brands. A striking example is currently observed in two distinct markets: women's and the Middle East. The Japanese brand stands out as one of the few to have specifically targeted the Gulf market.
Although now, watch brands are starting to realize the importance of these markets.
Look for yourself at the notable increase in offerings dedicated to the women's market, it's undeniable and it testifies to a significant evolution in the watch industry.

There is a growing demand for women's watches which go beyond simple fashion accessories, offering watchmaking complications, quality finishing and a design to match the lady's jewelry.
The evolution of the watch industry demonstrates a gradual shift towards a more inclusive approach, showcasing women and their appetite for watches that are both elegant and fully functional. Although there is still a way to go to ensure a broad range for women in the watchmaking field.
