Michael Kors Mini Empire Pave Gold-Tone Bangle Watch
Ref. MK4840
Sits in Michael Kors’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michael Kors watches we list, which start at £129.
Price range £129 to £299 across 237 Michael Kors watches in stock.The Empire line sits at the fashion end of Michael Kors' range, and the MK4840 makes no pretence of being anything else: it is jewellery that tells the time, not a watch that happens to look decorative. The rectangular case is built flush into a polished bangle bracelet, and the whole piece reads as a rigid cuff rather than a strap-and-case arrangement. At 54 grams it is light enough to wear all day alongside other bangles without the wrist feeling loaded. The dial is the focal point — an oversized etched MK logo set into a field of pavé crystals, all in the same warm gold as the bracelet. On a slender wrist the 20mm by 30mm footprint sits proportionally well; it is unambiguously a dress piece, suited to occasions where the watch is part of an outfit rather than independent of one.

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?
10mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 30mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
