Marc Jacobs MBM3418 Tether Rose Gold Women's Watch
Ref. MBM3418
The Tether line is Marc Jacobs at its most self-referential: the skeleton dial does not simply expose the movement behind it but cuts the word "MARC" into the dial itself, so the brand becomes the decoration. At 25mm it sits small and close to the wrist, and the rose gold bezel against the silver case and bracelet gives the two-tone finish a deliberate contrast rather than a gradual one. The three-link bracelet and deployant clasp keep things neat at that scale, and the 50m water resistance is a practical margin for a watch this dressed — enough for daily life without any pretence of being a tool watch.

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 explainedWill 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 comparedDoes 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 comparedWhat 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.
