Marc Jacobs Marc by Marc Jacobs Women's MBM3139 Two-Tone Stainless-Steel Quartz Watch with Silver Dial
Ref. P1136-MBM3139
The Amy sits within the Marc by Marc Jacobs range as a dress-leaning piece that keeps its identity on the bezel rather than the dial — the engraved house name running around the front face does the work that a logo crown or caseback would do on something more discreet. The silver dial underneath is kept deliberately quiet, with dotted indices and Arabic numerals only at three key positions, which gives the chronograph subdials room without crowding. At 36mm the case is a practical size for most wrists, and at 10mm it sits flat enough to pass under a cuff without lifting a sleeve. The two-tone bracelet — silver links alternating with gold-toned ones — is where the design makes its clearest choice: this is a watch built around that contrast rather than using it as trim. The deployant clasp keeps the bracelet line unbroken on the wrist, which matters more than it sounds when the bracelet is the statement.

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?
20mm. 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, though at 36mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
