What does Jane Austen have in common with watches? Err, well, I don't really know. Probably nothing - except for the very weak excuse I have to mention one of my all time favorite authors while I also take a look at some high-end, to drool over timepieces.

Even the new movie, based on the book The Jane Austen Book Club has a pretty weak connection to Jane, but some of the stars from the movie got to get their hands on some fabulous Parmigiani watches at the movie's premiere and after party in Los Angeles.

So, after reading this news, I wanted to see what the stars scored. Since most of the cast are women, I took at look at the Parmigiani ladies watch collection, a number of them in gold accented with diamonds.
