Stepping up in Michele's range
The Meggie is Michele's answer to the dress watch that can also be worn daily — a cushion-shaped case at 29mm, sized to sit neatly on a narrower wrist without the self-conscious delicacy of something smaller. The mother-of-pearl dial carries 60 hand-set diamonds, 0.19 carats in total, arranged along the inner ring and at each index: enough to catch light without reading as overtly jewelled. The bracelet is worth attention. The seven-link two-tone construction — alternating stainless steel and 18K gold-plated links across a 14mm width — is specific to the Meggie collection, but Michele has built in a standard pin fitting, so any 14mm Michele strap drops straight in. The butterfly clasp sits flush against the wrist and opens cleanly without fumbling.

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?
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.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
