Premium

Sits in Marc Jacobs’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Marc Jacobs watches we list, which start at £119.

Price range £119 to £149 across 25 Marc Jacobs watches in stock.

A compact 28mm case in two-tone stainless steel keeps proportions neat on the wrist. The slim profile sits close, and the fold-over deployment bracelet combines silver-tone and rose gold-tone links throughout. The white dial carries individual index hour markers, with the letters M, A, R, C positioned across the upper half. Rose gold-tone hands match the bracelet's warm links, and a small seconds sub-dial sits at six o'clock. A mineral crystal covers the dial, and the watch carries 50m water resistance.

Learn more about Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs founded his label in New York in 1984 and spent sixteen years as creative director at Louis Vuitton alongside it, which is where much of the brand's international standing came from.

The watches are licensed. Fossil held the agreement from 2005, launching the main line that autumn and Marc by Marc Jacobs the year after. In 2019 the licence transferred to Bedrock Manufacturing, founded by Fossil's own co-founder Tom Kartsotis.

They are fashion watches and make no pretence otherwise: quartz movements, design led by the label's aesthetic rather than by horology, priced accordingly. If you want the look of the house on your wrist that is exactly what these deliver.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

What size strap does it take?

12mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's.
