Olivia Burton 24000282 Mini Grove Bracelet Watch - W28177
Ref. 24000282
Sits in Olivia Burton’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Olivia Burton watches we list, which start at £55.
Price range £55 to £199 across 100 Olivia Burton watches in stock.The Grove has always been one of Olivia Burton's more restrained designs — a rectangular case, baton indices, a single Roman numeral at twelve — and the Mini takes that template down to 16mm wide by 24mm tall, a size that sits closer to a bangle than a conventional watch. At that scale it reads as jewellery on the wrist, which is the point of it: the gold sunray dial and domed crystal are there to catch light rather than to be legible at a glance. The multi-link bracelet adjusts by adding or removing individual links, so the fit can be dialled in precisely, and the push-button deployant clasp means it comes on and off without fussing with a pin. It stacks easily alongside other bracelets because it takes up so little space on the wrist.

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.
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?
12mm. 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.
