Known for bringing accessible luxury to the mainstream, Michael Kors ladies’ watches are some of the most affordable designer watches on the market.

Michael Kors Sofie’s History and Design Details

Michael Kors has been at the forefront of the fashion world since he released his first-ever women’s wear collection. Since then, the Michael Kors brand, named after the acclaimed designer, has been providing the world with ready-to-wear outfits and accessories at accessible prices.

Despite taking over runways with high-end clothing since 1981, the brand did not enter the world of timepieces until 2004. The luxury fashion brand teamed up with Fossil, allowing them to design, produce, and distribute Michael Kors watches.

The Michael Kors Sofie collection features three-hand analog watches with artistic dials. These quartz watches exude sophistication with a splash of the contemporary thanks to their rather quirky faces. Timepieces in this family use a selection of different hour markers. This varies between the standard indices, Roman numerals, or a mix of both. There are even models that boast diamond-studded indices! These aspects contribute to the glamor that the Sofie collection exudes. From dials with vibrant colors to ones with patterned designs, these Michael Kors women’s watches are the ideal conversational pieces.

Another signature design of the Michael Kors Sofie collection is their bezels. The fixed bezel of the Michael Kors Sofie is adorned with glittering crystals. Some models in the Sofie range also feature elegant bracelets with crystal-adorned center links. 

In 2017, the brand launched its range of Michael Kors Sofie smartwatches that still boast the signature Sofie design. While these digital timepieces are packed with the latest technology and features, they still give off an air of sophistication and elegance. This is especially thanks to, again, the crystal-paved bezels and bracelets of these Michael Kors ladies’ watches.

How to Spot a Fake Michael Kors Watch from the Sofie Collection

Michael Kors watches’ dignified yet playful feminine energy attracts many fashionistas. Unfortunately, this popularity has also resulted in many counterfeits. It is not uncommon to find people selling replicas of Michael Kors products. Of course, this also extends to timepieces in the Michael Kors Sofie collection.

Before you invest in a Michael Kors Sofie watch, here are a few key ways to spot a fake. 

Michael Kors watches in the Sofie family all come embellished with crystals. Because of this, one of the telltale signs of whether it is a counterfeit lies in the placement of said crystals. Every single piece should be perfectly in place. The crystals should be symmetrical and neatly placed around the bezel of the watch. There shouldn’t be any patches of glue showing, either. If the crystals are messy or unevenly placed, it certainly is a fake Michael Kors watch.

Another aspect you should inspect is the subdial. The Sofie collection of Michael Kors watches for women also includes chronographs. Inspect each subdial to see if they are functioning properly. Manufacturers of counterfeit Michael Kors watches rarely bother including the high-quality movements that allow the subdials to function correctly. Additionally, check to see if the subdials are different. Every subdial in a Michael Kors Sofie watch should have a different function, although the specific function can vary from model to model These include the date of the week, day of the month, 60-second counter, 30-minute counter, and 24-hour counter.

If the Michael Kors Sofie model has a date display window, be sure to check if the numbers are aligned correctly. Fake Michael Kors watches often have these numbers off-centered.

The Michael Kors logo on the dial should also be a detail to look over. The logo on the face of the timepiece should have no errors or discrepancies. Make sure the Michael Kors logo is spaced out evenly and spelled out correctly.

Michael Kors women’s watches from the Sofie collection feature three-hand movements. Original timepieces from the brand feature an intricate inverted “M” at the end of their second hands. Cheap Michael Kors watch replicas may not have this small but important detail.

More general signs to tell if a Michael Kors Sofie watch is real or not can be found on its case back. Wristwatches from the company often have details such as model number and manufacture date engraved on the case back. Check if these details match the ones on any paperwork accompanying the watch.

Genuine timepieces from the high-end fashion brand also have the Michael Kors logo delicately embossed on the crown. If a watch is missing this or if the embossing is of a low-quality, then it is a counterfeit Michael Kors timepiece.

From its quartz watches and chronographs to its smartwatches, this family of Michael Kors women’s watches certainly brings a quirky, modern spin to classic timepieces.
