I love a good watch and I've always found myself peering into jewellers windows, dribbling over the likes of TAG Heuer, Breitling, Hamilton etc. But, the price band I can marginally afford are simple quartz movements and a bit, meh. I happened upon Marloe through a facebook ad a while back and fell in love with the square Astro series. Nothing except the TAG Monaco really pulls off the square look but I loved the Astro. With the sale on I bagged an Astro Eagle and I managed to mess up the order. I emailed Marloe and I was answered very quickly by Oliver who sorted everything out for me. Cruelly, my wife made me wait unitil my birthday before I could unbox it, and what a box it was. I won't spoil it for anyone buying one but the presentation is exceptional. A real sense of occasion you're about to wear somehting special instead of a dull box. The watch itself is a great weight but effortless to wear, and the quick change straps means you can tailor it to the occasion. I use the Mocha (shown) for a bit more formality and the Orange "Re-entry" strap for more casual attire. Its a great watch with lots of details to discover and the spec list is impressive for even a much more expensive brand. I got the Astro on sale but I would not have been dissapointed if I'd paid retail it's that nice. The sweeping hairline second hand is gorgeous and the champhered hands do add a real 70s space age instrument look. This is my first Marloe watch and it will certianly not be my last.
