Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Darci line is Michael Kors' answer to the cocktail watch: something that functions as jewellery first and a timepiece second. The Mini sits at 26mm, which places it firmly in bracelet-weight territory — it stacks with other pieces on the wrist rather than competing with them, and at 7mm thick it disappears under a sleeve without any negotiation. The pavé bezel is the defining choice here. Set densely with crystal, it catches light at angles where a plain polished case would not, which on a dial and bracelet this uniformly gold keeps the whole thing from reading flat.

Learn more about Michael Kors
Michael Kors founded his label in New York in 1981 and built it on accessible American luxury. The watches are produced under licence by Fossil Group and have been among the highest-volume fashion watches sold worldwide.
The design leans decorative: gold and rose gold plating, pavé crystal settings, oversized chronograph subdials that are frequently non-functional, and bracelets that echo the jewellery line. Movements are quartz.
These are styling-led accessories, priced accordingly, and they are honest about what they are.

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.
What size strap does it take?
14mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
