We listen to the inspiring voices of Dreamhers, an initiative that brings together women who have turned their dreams into reality and achieved success across different fields.
Have you ever wondered about women’s place in the watch industry? According to recent reports, women make up about 43% of the workforce, yet only around 17% occupy senior positions. Interestingly, women represent 35% of the customer base. For an industry often perceived as male-dominated, these figures show that the female presence is far from negligible. Some brands are making tangible efforts to amplify this presence and highlight women’s achievements—and one of the most notable is Zenith.
This heritage watchmaker counts a remarkable number of women in senior leadership roles. Among them are Ellen Sorensen, Brand President for North America; Rebecca McDermott, UK Brand Director; and Masumu Suzuki, Brand Director in Japan. Beyond leadership, Zenith has long associated itself with causes close to women’s lives. At regular intervals, the brand releases limited editions with pink dials to support breast cancer awareness, with proceeds donated to organizations working in this field. One of the latest examples is the DEFY Skyline Pink, limited to 100 pieces, created to shine a light on this cause.
But Zenith’s most ambitious initiative is undoubtedly “DREAMHERS”—a movement launched in 2020 entirely dedicated to women. The project tells the stories of inspiring figures from different corners of the globe, spanning various ages, professions, and backgrounds. Over the past five years, DREAMHERS has become a mosaic of women’s journeys—each one unique, powerful, and universally relatable.

A violin virtuoso who picked up her instrument in childhood, Esther Abrami has carved a space for herself not only in classical music halls but also on digital platforms, where she reaches a new generation of listeners. Named a “Rising Star” by BBC Music Magazine and selected for Classic FM’s “30 Women Under 30 to Watch”, Abrami has already performed with some of the world’s leading orchestras in her early twenties. Her recently released album, Women, pays tribute to female composers throughout history whose contributions have too often remained in the shadows.
