Stepping up in Swarovski's range
A slender rose-gold PVD case, 33.5mm across, houses a silver sunray dial set with around 1,000 miniature clear crystals across its surface. Stick indexes mark the hours, with the Swarovski swan logo positioned at twelve o'clock, and the watch runs a two-hand Swiss quartz movement showing hours and minutes. The rose-gold PVD stainless steel bracelet fastens with a deployment clasp and sits close to the wrist. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the watch is rated to 50 metres water resistance.

Learn more about Swarovski
Daniel Swarovski patented a machine for cutting crystal precisely and in volume, and in 1895 moved production to Wattens in the Tyrol for the hydroelectric power the valley could supply. The company has been there ever since, still family-controlled after five generations.
The watches are not a licence. Swarovski makes them itself, and they exist to display the thing the company actually produces: cut crystal, set into cases, bezels, bracelets and dials in quantities no watchmaker would attempt.
That makes them jewellery with a movement inside rather than watches with decoration added, and they are best judged on that basis. Quartz movements, generous stone-setting, and designs that change with the season.
Swarovski also supplies crystal to fashion, film and stage — which is why the same stones turn up on a Wattens-made watch and on a costume at the Metropolitan Opera.

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 explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
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, though at 35mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
