The Entire Watch Collection of the British Royal Family

by Erin Fitzpatrick

I recently traveled to Switzerland and came back with a brand-new obsession with watches. It's kind of like the viral TikTok sound that originally came from The Office: "This is a dream I've had since lunch and I am not giving up on it now." Even though I haven't owned a watch since I got a Marc by Marc Jacobs watch for Christmas in high school, I'm suddenly interested in all things horological.

Naturally, I found a way to combine my newfound passion with my long-established interest in royals: documenting their watch collections. I decided to focus my efforts on five royals so I could chronicle their entire respective collections, including Princess Kate, Prince William, Princess Diana, King Charles, and Duchess Meghan. Scroll down to see and shop their favorite timepieces.
