The latest design from Marloe watches, The Coniston, launched this month. It is named after the English lake where Donald Campbell set his speed records in the Bluebird K7, and where he sadly met his fateful end.
Introducing the Marloe Coniston

The theme of the Marloe Coniston is based around the Bluebird’s distinctive colour scheme. The blue they have chosen is similar to the shade on Bluebird K7 and is contrasted with yellow accents from the Bluebird’s badge and intake covers. Marloe have a good reputation for making quality timepieces, and this hand-wound watch comes in at a reasonable sounding £299.
Marloe Coniston – First Impressions

We’ve not yet handled a Marloe watch, so our first impression is based on photos and recommendations for friends. What immediately stands out is that Marloe has designed a watch that doesn’t look quite like anything else. In a marketplace full of three-hand minimalist dress watches and Rolex Submariner clones, it is refreshing to see a truly original design.
We really like the design of the hands, which are like nothing we’ve seen before. The dial, which seems to have a lot of depth, looks great -especially in the blue colour. We’d like to see some more choice of pastel shades, like the EMG Nemo, as the current choice is only really between blue or monochrome. Overall, we think the watch shows promise and hope to get our hands on one to really get a feel for it.
