    : LittleMo,

    : 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!

    : Ah yes, you are right Bryce, I was confusing
    : the lost and replaced French watch of HM
    : with the Swiss watch that Diana wore. Was
    : the Swiss watch gifted to Diana or just
    : loaned ?
    :
    : There is also an article here saying that
    : she was given another tiny watch for her
    : diamond jubilee. Have we ever seen that worn
    : ?

    : I had not heard that the "Swiss"
    : watch had been lost.

    : While at Sandringham, The Queen had lost the
    : watch given to her in 1938 by the French
    : Republic. The French were kind enough to
    : replaced this during her state visit to
    : France in 1957.

    : And hasn't it also been reported that it was

    : I assume you mean the Queen wore this watch
    : before she gave it to Diana, but not since?
