Marc Jacobs Women’s 36mm Watch (MBM1163)

The MBM1163 takes the same logo-bezel construction as the smaller Blade pieces but prints the dial itself with a playful lip pattern, so the personality sits on the face rather than just the case. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 36mm stainless steel case is a mid-size build that reads well on most wrists without dominating them. The brand name is worked directly into the bezel in raised lettering, finished in the same silver as the rest of the case. \n Dial and Legibility \n Cream lip shapes are scattered across the black dial. It’s a decorative print rather than a set of hour markers, so there are no numerals or indices – just the pattern and the two hands. It reads as a graphic first and a watch face second, at a glance. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz movement, hours and minutes only, with no date or extra subdials to compete with the print. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Black leather strap, which grounds the multicolour dial rather than competing with it. Leather takes on the shape of your wrist over the first couple of weeks and is straightforward to swap out later if you want a different look. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Someone who wants a fashion watch with a genuine talking point on the dial \n Pairing with an otherwise plain outfit, since the dial does the decorative work \n A mid-size case that isn’t trying to look like a men’s watch shrunk down \n \n Care and Maintenance \n Keep the strap away from water and perfume – leather stiffens and the dye can transfer if it’s soaked. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk stall; the same visit lets them check the case gasket, which is what actually protects the movement from moisture over time. \n About the Brand \n Marc Jacobs treats the watch case the way it treats a handbag hardware detail – as a place to put a recognisable signature. The lip print is typical of the brand’s willingness to put something genuinely playful on a product that could otherwise be entirely generic. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Marc Jacobs \n Model / Reference MBM1163 \n Gender Women’s \n Case Diameter 36mm \n Case Material Stainless steel \n Case Colour Silver \n Dial Colour Multicolour \n Movement Quartz \n Strap Black leather \n \n Buying With Confidence \n The MBM1163 ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
