Price range £109 to £299 across 225 Michael Kors watches in stock.

The Emery is Michael Kors' longstanding answer to the tank-style dress watch — rectangular, jewelled at the bezel, and scaled for a slender wrist. At 22mm it reads as deliberately delicate rather than merely small, and the rows of crystals framing the case catch light in a way that shifts the dial's mother-of-pearl between white and faintly iridescent depending on the angle. The Roman numerals on that dial and the fold-over clasp on the bracelet give the piece a finished quality that holds up at close range, which matters on something worn this close to a cuffed sleeve or a dinner table.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

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.
