Stepping up in Fossil's range
The Harwell collection draws its name and its rectangular buckle silhouette from Fossil's mainline wristwatch line, but this pendant version was never meant to sit on a wrist. The case hangs from an elongated gold-tone chain and closes at the neck with a lobster claw clasp, reading entirely as jewellery — the functioning dial is almost incidental to how it presents itself. A tassel fringe drops from the base of the case and can be detached, which lets the piece sit differently depending on what it is worn with. At 22mm the watch head is small enough that it disappears against a collarbone rather than competing with one, and at 7.6mm it lies flat under a light layer of clothing. The sunray-finished gold dial carries printed indices and polished baton hands with no additional complications, keeping the face as clean as the design requires.

Learn more about Fossil
Tom Kartsotis founded Fossil in Texas in 1984 after noticing that fashion watches manufactured in Hong Kong could be produced far more cheaply than the market assumed. The name came from his brother's nickname.
The company's insight was presentation. Fossil watches were designed with a deliberately retro American aesthetic and sold in collectable tin boxes, which made an inexpensive quartz watch feel like an object worth keeping. It worked at scale, and Fossil became one of the largest watch companies in the world by unit volume.
The business then grew primarily by acquisition and licensing. Fossil owns Zodiac, Misfit, and the leather goods brand Skagen, and manufactures watches under licence for a long list of fashion houses — Michael Kors, Armani Exchange, Diesel, Kate Spade, and others. For much of the 2010s Fossil produced a substantial share of all branded fashion watches sold globally.
It was also an early and significant player in smartwatches, launching Android Wear devices from 2015 and becoming the largest maker of Google-powered watches, before that market consolidated around Apple, Samsung, and Google itself.
Fossil remains a public company headquartered in Richardson, Texas, and continues to produce its own mechanical and automatic lines alongside the quartz and connected ranges.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
