Marie 12H Gold & Black Grained Black Leather Watch 34mm

The Watch

Gustave et Cie is a French watchmaking brand created in tribute to the legendary engineer Gustave Eiffel. It stands out through its singular, refined watches that captivate with their aesthetic. The brand now presents this magnificent Marie 12H Gold and Black model, understated and sleek in equal measure. This timepiece is a tribute to the iconic Marie Curie, physicist and chemist whose groundbreaking work on radioactivity made her the only person to have received two Nobel Prizes. Elegant in its simplicity, it features an octagonal case crafted in gold-tone stainless steel measuring 34.00 mm in both length and width, with a thickness of 9.70 mm. Drawing inspiration from the Eiffel Tower and elevated by a polished finish, it is designed for all genders, with a classic, urban aesthetic. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that shields it from shocks and external damage. The crown at 4 o'clock adds a distinctive touch and controls all functions. Finally, its screw-down caseback with the engraved Panthéon guarantees a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

This beautiful watch features a refined, distinctive dial that defines its charm. Dressed in a black background, it is elevated by a double sunray and sandblasted finish enhanced with colorful details. Both understated and minimalist, it gives the watch a modern edge that makes it an essential urban style accessory. A signature of the brand, it showcases a single gold hand indicating both hours and minutes simultaneously. It sweeps past the applied baton indexes and Roman numeral markers, each representing 10 minutes, as well as the minute track. At 3 o'clock, a double window displays the day in French abbreviation and the date. The illuminated dial allows for easy reading even in the dark, thanks to the indexes and hand coated in Super-LumiNova. Finally, the brand places its name at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this beautiful watch beats a Japanese quartz movement. Specifically a caliber produced by Miyota, it delivers precise indication of hours, minutes, day, and date. It is powered by a battery.

The Bracelet

This timepiece features a bovine leather strap in black, creating a beautiful contrast with the case tone. Its textured design is accented with tone-on-tone stitching, lending the model real character. Versatile, easily paired with any outfit, and interchangeable, it is secured with a gold-tone pin buckle for a firm, comfortable fit around the wrist.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters, or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms, this timepiece can handle the occasional splash - but prolonged water exposure is not its forte. A quick shower now and then is fine, but to preserve the movement's quality and precision, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no prolonged contact with water.
