Marloe Watch Company?
Marloe Watch Company?
Anybody got experience of Marloe Watch Company? I believe they were a crown funded startup.
I just bought a Coniston which seems very nice. Amazing value for £299. Miyota movement, Sapphire crystal, display back and very individual design.

Re: Marloe Watch Company?
I like Marloe a lot. I bought a Coniston largely because I followed their film series on its design and production. I pre-ordered both the Bluebird and the Steel with the intention of only keeping one. Initially I kept the Steel, but as soon as I returned the Bluebird, I regretted it. I still think the Steel is the nicer of the two, but there's something about the Bluebird. I sheepishly emailed Marloe to ask about swapping to the other, and Oliver was brilliant.
Then a couple of weeks ago, Oliver posted on the Marloe Fans Facebook group that they had a limited number of Lomonds left, available to the group for first refusal. I bit his hand off and bought a panda dial.
I haven’t seen too many Marloes on this forum but NotEnoughWrists' recent SOTC had a good few.
I genuinely couldn’t be happier with my brace and am looking forward to seeing what's next from them.

I've been tempted by a Coniston but not pulled the trigger on one yet. Not sure why, as I love how they've done the dial lume, and for £299 you can't really go wrong!

They're responsible for starting the madness, I saw an article on the Cherwell in a magazine i picked up on the way on to a flight- bought one not long after and that was it. Great watches for the money, probably not going to see anyone else wearing one unless you hang about with other watch loons fairly often.
If you're looking for a decent hand wound for a great price, Marloe are your guys (pretty great CS too as others have said)
So many watches, yet still so little time!

I like it. Seems like a good deal. I’m a big Miyota fan.
Original styling and a beautiful movement. Cool watch!

Re: Marloe Watch Company?
Lack of a bezel or should I say an under crystal bezel on the Coniston just bugs me somehow. I’ve looked closely at the bluebird but its a detail I cant get around.

Re: Marloe Watch Company?
For me, that's negated by the rehaut. The layering is one of the things I really like about the Coniston. You have the watchface, the lume a step beneath it, the markers standing above both and then the rehaut. It does makes it quite a deep watch, but still fits comfortably under a shirt cuff.

Re: Marloe Watch Company?
I've looked closely and been very close a couple of times to pulling the trigger on the Vulcan. The 'under crystal' bezel is one of the things I like, it's slightly different and away from the norm. The thing stopping me from buying one is the lack of date. I also like the sand dial and the green dial Haskell which does have a date but, due to the Swiss movement, is more than double the cost which takes it into a territory where I have other choices. Maybe I'll have to wait for Marloe to come up with something that ticks all boxes for me before I get my hands on one.

Re: Marloe Watch Company?
I really like them. I was introduced to it through CW, and bought the Coniston Bluebird. It's very nice! I recently added the Lomond Chronograph Panda which is gorgeous! There's a facebook group (Marloe Watch Company Fans) if you need any more advice or pictures. The owners post on there occasionally offering special deals and behind the scenes info.

Re: Marloe Watch Company?
Ok ok I'm weak, and Marloe ship incredibly quickly!
Still deciding if the 40mm lugs sit right or not; at some angles it seems too small and poorly fitting, at others it seems spot on. The case height makes up for the lug to lug deficiency for my wrist I think.
It's certainly a handsome devil for £299 delivered. Plus it ticks the white lumed face box...

You are tempting me with those pics! Looks great. Is that a supplied canvas strap or have you swapped it?jtc wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:34 pm Ok ok I'm weak, and Marloe ship incredibly quickly!

I've swapped it onto a Barton strap. Not a fan of the supplied strap (although it is of decent leather quality).
