Stepping up in Michele's range
The Deco collection takes its proportions and its ornament directly from Art Deco architecture — the rectangular case, the strict geometry of the dial, the 12 hand-set diamond indices running the chapter ring. At 33mm wide and only 35mm tall, the footprint is compact enough to read as jewellery without losing any of the clarity a chronograph dial needs to remain legible. The seven-link bracelet is built to be swapped. The 18mm lug width opens the watch to Michele's full strap range, so the same case can move from the steel bracelet to leather or satin without tools. The butterfly deployant keeps the underside seamless and the signature red cabochon crown sits at three o'clock, the one detail that is unmistakably Michele regardless of what the watch is wearing.

Learn more about Michele
Michele traces back to Maurice Barouh, a European-trained watchmaker who set up in Miami after the Second World War building watches to order. His son Jack continued the business, and named the modern brand after his daughter, Michele Barouh, who became its designer.
The signature is the strap system. Michele watches are built around quickly interchangeable straps in leather, silicone, alligator and steel, so the same head can be rebuilt to suit the occasion — a proposition aimed squarely at buyers who think of a watch as part of an outfit rather than a permanent fixture.
The Deco is the defining case, a rectangular art deco shape that has carried the collection since the 1990s, alongside round chronographs with heavily jewelled bezels.
Fossil Group acquired the company in 2004, and it sits within the group's owned brands rather than its licences.
Movements are Swiss quartz for the most part, with generous diamond setting; the appeal is the design system rather than the mechanics.

Your new watch
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?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
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?
18mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 35mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
