Jewelry lovers who missed out on Baselworld 2009, fear not. Beijing Weekend offers a guide to three eye-catching watches.

Charriol

The latest watch in the Swiss company's St. Tropez range is designed for vacations and its giant dial is ideal with casual wear. This watch breaks the rules - it does not have a traditional long and wide belt and is more like an accessory, which means it is for women only. The colors vary from dark to silver, rose-red and pink, giving you a casual and colorful look this summer.

Rolex

The Submariner range dates back more than half a century and its latest offering, the Oyster Perpetual Submariner, is a classic diver's watch for men. It has an oyster bracelet, dark blue dial and bezel, 31-jewel chronograph movement and, most importantly, can resist water pressure to 300 m, a figure certificated by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute. No more worries when you want to dive.

The Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona men's watch, is a gentler looking item. The watch is 18kt white gold, with square diamonds attached to the outer circle. The four corners are decorated with rubies, showing off your tender side to the woman in your life.
