Stepping up in Vivienne Westwood's range
The Little Wallace collection takes its name and its sensibility from the Wallace Collection in London, and this version makes the reference explicit: the ice-blue dial is drawn from the palette of Fragonard's painting *The Swing*, which hangs there. It is a considered piece of positioning — fashion watchmaking that anchors itself to a specific room in a specific London gallery rather than a vague notion of elegance. At 32mm and just over 9mm thick, it sits flat and unobtrusive under a cuff, and at 77 grams the bracelet has enough presence to feel considered without pulling at the wrist. The Swarovski crystals run along the bezel rather than replacing the hour markers, so the blue dial and Westwood's Orb motif read clearly underneath. The butterfly clasp conceals itself within the bracelet links, and fit is adjusted by removing pins rather than using a deployment catch — fiddly once, then forgotten.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
16mm. 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.
