It is my understanding the the Swiss watch was given to Diana as a wedding gift. I therefore assume that it formed part of her estate and perhaps we will see it once again in use by the Duchess of Cambridge or her future sister-in-law (i.e. Harry's wife).
As for the new small jubilee watch, to the best of my knowledge, it has not yet been worn in public. But, if anyone knows differently, please let us know.
Cheers! Bryce
