Marc Jacobs MBM3249 Ladies Watch
Ref. P3021-MBM3249
The Baker Mini is the smaller sibling in Marc Jacobs' Baker line — a 28mm case built for wrists where proportion matters more than presence. The sea green dial is an unusual choice for a gold-tone watch, the two colours pulling against each other in a way that stops it reading as a straight dress piece. The sub-dial for the seconds hand gives the face a little structure without overcomplicating it, and at this diameter the whole thing sits close to the wrist rather than sitting on it. The gold bracelet is consistent with the case, which on a watch this compact keeps the look cohesive rather than busy.

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?
14mm. 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.
