Sometimes a watch should be a little bit playful. The Mido Baroncelli Lady M7600.4.39.7 (M76004397) takes the collection's classic silhouette and pairs it with a red leather strap, turning a refined dress watch into a cheerful, eye-catching accessory.

The dial is genuine mother-of-pearl, which shimmers with soft rainbow hues as the light shifts, and it sits inside a polished 29mm steel case. Baroncelli has been Mido's dress collection since 1976, and its graceful, rounded design pays tribute to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan's famous arcade. The case is roughly 8mm slim and houses a Swiss automatic movement with a date window between four and five o'clock. An exhibition caseback shows off the mechanics.

The red leather strap closes with a classic pin buckle and, since it is a standard 15mm width, can easily be swapped for a black or brown strap when the mood changes. Think of it as two watches in one: festive now, formal later.
