Price range £109 to £299 across 225 Michael Kors watches in stock.The Lauryn is built around a 33mm stainless steel case, 7mm thick, with a crystal-set bezel giving the profile a dressed-up quality without bulk. The white mother-of-pearl dial carries rose gold-tone Roman numerals and pavé crystal accents, while the mineral glass sits flush above it. The two-tone bracelet pairs silver-tone and rose gold-tone links, with crystal-set centre links running its length, and fastens via a two-pusher foldover deployment clasp. A quartz movement drives the three-hand display.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
16mm. 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.
