Stepping up in Vivienne Westwood's range
Named after the City street that Vivienne Westwood found resonant enough to lend to a watch, the Fenchurch places the house's Orb squarely at twelve o'clock and echoes it on the second-hand counterweight — a small detail that only registers once the watch is moving. At 28mm the case is built for a narrow wrist, and the sunray-brushed mint dial reads differently depending on the angle of the light, shifting between blue and something cooler and greener. Roman numerals and baton markers share the dial without crowding it; the date sits at three without disturbing the layout. The sculpted three-link bracelet is polished throughout and closes on a hidden butterfly clasp, with links that can be removed to fit precisely — which matters more on a compact dress bracelet than on a heavier sports one, where a little slack goes unnoticed.

Learn more about Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren opened a shop at 430 King's Road in 1971, and over the next few years it became the outfitter of British punk. Westwood went on to become one of the most decorated designers Britain has produced, with the orb logo — a sovereign's orb with a Saturn ring — as the house signature from 1987.
The watches are licensed rather than made in-house, produced under agreement by a British accessories manufacturer and sold through department stores and jewellers.
They carry the house language directly: the orb on the crown or the dial, tartan and heritage-check straps, asymmetric cases, and a willingness to be decorative that most watch brands avoid. Quartz movements, fashion pricing.
Westwood died in 2022. The house continues, and the watch line with it.

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?
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.
Cheapest place to buy
