The watch world has been growing at an exponential rate recently. Needless to say, we’re entering the era of the timepiece, as more women enter the watch space, both from a shopper and expert point of view. While many watches are taking hold, on both first-time watch owners and collectors alike, there is one movement in the world of timepieces that is impossible to ignore: cocktail watches.

Pieces with jewelry-like designs are *it* right now. The styles are intended to be worn at nighttime and for special occasions are on the rise, and styles like the Cartier Baignoire have helped to kick this off. This particular piece is jewelry-forward, elegant, and primed for the evening, much like other cocktail watches that are gaining momentum.
