Stepping up in Michele's range
The Deco Madison sits at the heart of Michele's best-known line: a rectangular case borrowing the proportions of art deco dress watches and updating them for everyday wear. At 33mm the case is compact without reading as small, and the 35mm lug-to-lug means it lies flat against the wrist rather than bridging across it. What the dial does with that geometry is the real point of this reference. A sunray silver ground catches raking light differently from straight on, and 47 hand-set diamonds run as an inner track around it — present without overwhelming the Roman numerals or the signature red crown at twelve. The seven-link bracelet closes with a butterfly deployment that keeps the underside clean, and the 18mm lug width means any standard Michele strap drops straight in, which gives the watch considerably more range than its stainless finish alone would suggest.

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
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.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
