Michael Kors Maude 21mm Ladies Watch Silver
Ref. MK4956
Sits in Michael Kors’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michael Kors watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £299 across 231 Michael Kors watches in stock.The Maude traces directly to a watch that belonged to Michael Kors' grandmother, and that origin shapes everything about it: the oval case, the absence of hour markers, the emphasis on the bracelet as an object in itself. At 21mm it sits at the boundary between watch and bangle, which is clearly the intent. The brick-link bracelet in mixed silver and gold tones does most of the visual work, with the pale dial reading as a quiet centre rather than a functional display. The deployant clasp keeps the proportions clean on the wrist without a visible buckle interrupting the line.

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.

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
