Marc Jacobs Women’s 36mm Watch (MBM8596)

The gunmetal finish on this Marc Jacobs sets it apart from the brand’s usual silver and gold pieces. It reads darker and more graphic on the wrist, with the ion-plated case and bracelet built as one continuous line. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 36mm round case sits in the mid-size range that works equally well on a slim or an average wrist, close enough to the arm to move naturally under a cuff or jacket sleeve. The signature Marc by Marc Jacobs wordmark is pressed into the bezel itself rather than printed, so it stays legible for the life of the case. \n Dial and Legibility \n The black dial is kept deliberately plain, with diamanté stones standing in for numerals at each hour. Against the dark gunmetal tone the stones catch light from any angle, which is what carries the time-telling rather than printed markers or numerals. \n Bracelet and Fit \n The ion-plated bracelet is finished to match the case exactly, so there is no colour break between the two. Ion plating bonds harder than standard plating and resists the everyday scuffing of keys, desks and door handles better than a painted finish would. The bracelet’s folded links sit flat against the wrist and adjust at a standard link-removal point, so a jeweller or watch fitter can size it down without altering the finish. \n Who This Watch Suits \n This is a watch for someone who wants a going-out timepiece that isn’t gold or silver. The gunmetal tone pairs with black, navy and grey outfits without competing for attention, and the 36mm case is small enough to layer under a jacket cuff. It also reads well against darker winter clothing, where a bright silver or gold case can feel out of place. \n Care and Maintenance \n Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth after wear to keep the ion-plated finish free of hand cream and perfume residue, both of which dull plated metal over time. Avoid abrasive cloths or jewellery cleaners on the plating. \n About Marc Jacobs \n Marc by Marc Jacobs was the label’s contemporary line, translating the main collection’s playful sensibility into accessories built for daily use. The bezel wordmark on this watch is drawn straight from that design identity. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Marc Jacobs \n Case diameter 36mm \n Case shape Round \n Case material Gunmetal ion-plated \n Dial colour Black \n Dial markers Diamanté stick \n Movement Quartz \n Bracelet Gunmetal ion-plated stainless steel \n Gender Women’s \n \n Buying With Confidence \n This watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty covering the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
