Stepping up in Olivia Burton's range
The Grove has been one of Olivia Burton's most consistent designs, and this version scales it down to a 16mm rectangular case — small enough to read more as a bangle than a watch when stacked against other pieces on the wrist. The domed crystal and sunray border on the white dial give it a vintage quality that suits the proportions, and the gold-tone hands sit cleanly against the face without competing with whatever jewellery sits alongside it. The deployant clasp is a considered detail at this size: it keeps the bracelet lying flat and avoids the slight bulk a standard fold-over would add to something this slender.

Learn more about Olivia Burton
Lesa Bennett and Jemma Fennings started Olivia Burton in London in 2012, coming from fashion rather than watchmaking and treating the watch as an accessory to be designed rather than a instrument to be engineered.
That showed in the product: illustrated dials, floral and bee motifs, applied three-dimensional details, mesh and leather straps in soft colours. The bee became the signature, and the brand found a large audience among buyers who wanted something with a point of view at under £200.
Movado Group acquired the company in 2017, placing it alongside Movado, Ebel, Concord and MVMT. Production and distribution run through Movado; the design identity has stayed recognisably its own.
The watches are quartz and the appeal is the artwork, not the movement — which is a fair description of what the brand set out to do in the first place.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
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.
