Stepping up in Michele's range
The Deco collection takes its geometry directly from Art Deco architecture — the rectangular case is not a fashion concession but a deliberate echo of that period's hard angles and hierarchical surfaces. Twelve brilliant diamonds stand in for hour markers on the mother-of-pearl dial, and the three chronograph sub-dials are finished with fine gold foil, a detail that only becomes apparent close up. That 18K gold-plated seven-link bracelet alternates plated and bare steel links in a pattern that carries the two-tone logic of the case rather than simply matching it. The quick-release pins are the practical advantage of the Michele system: any 18mm Michele strap drops straight in, so the watch can move between the bracelet and a leather or satin strap without tools.

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.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will 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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
