Marc Jacobs Women’s 36mm Watch (MBM1376)

The MBM1376 is a very different construction from the brand’s Blade and Baker lines: a floating dial. The letters M, A, R, C sit as separate raised characters mounted between two layers of clear crystal, appearing to hover in the space around a small black inner dial. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 36mm case is finished in gold-tone, mid-size and built specifically to show off the layered, semi-transparent construction rather than a solid metal face. \n Dial and Legibility \n The inner dial is a plain black disc carrying only the two gold-tone hands, with “MARC BY MARC JACOBS” printed small at its centre. Around it, the four floating letters M, A, R, C sit at the cardinal points, visible through the clear crystal rather than printed on a solid surface. It’s a striking effect but not built for at-a-glance reading in the way a numbered dial is. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz movement, hours and minutes only. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Black leather strap, a straightforward grounding choice against the more elaborate case construction. It will soften and shape itself to the wrist within the first couple of weeks. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Someone who wants a genuinely different watch construction, not another logo-bezel piece \n A 36mm case that reads as a conversation piece rather than a plain timepiece \n Black and gold-tone as the most versatile version of this floating-dial design \n \n Care and Maintenance \n The layered crystal construction is more delicate than a solid dial, so avoid knocks and store it away from anything that could scratch the exposed crystal surfaces. Keep the leather strap dry and let it breathe between wears. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker familiar with layered-case designs, and have the case seal checked at the same time. \n About the Brand \n This floating-letter construction is one of the more technically ambitious designs Marc Jacobs has put into a fashion watch, built to be looked into rather than just read at a glance. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Marc Jacobs \n Model / Reference MBM1376 \n Gender Women’s \n Case Diameter 36mm \n Case Colour Gold \n Dial Colour Black \n Movement Quartz \n Strap Black leather \n \n Buying With Confidence \n The MBM1376 ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
