I have really mixed feelings on this. For years I would have said no, it didnt make sense to spend that much on a quartz watch. I finally talked myself out of it and literally had a quartz one (Breitling) on my wrist for a final look before buying and just couldnt pull the trigger because it was quartz. So I bought something else instead that wasnt quartz. I am pretty sure, however, that JLC makes mechanical watches for woman although most are quartz. You might check on that, their mechanical watches are superb.

Actually I just checked and from what I could see most of the JLCs for women are not quartz. I would definitely go with the hand wound or automatic rather than quartz.
