“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci (1452 1519) Truer words have never been spoken .and Stührling Original has taken Mr. da Vincis words to heart with the Ascot Series. And the newest entries in the series are the Marquis (for ladies) and the Marquis Gentry (for gentlemen). The elegance of the Marquis is evidenced by its classic styling and grace. At less than 7.5mm thin from front to back and with its clean easy to read face set against a backdrop of a swirled sun-ray design guillochèd into the dial, the Marquis presents a chic persona that can go anywhere from the relaxed to the most formal of events.

To measure the accuracy, I set the time to the second to a computer clock (that gets the time signal from internet) and left the watch at home for a day. In less than a day (about 18 hours), it’s already lagging 15 seconds. It is consistently lagging. It may not sound much, but that’s 1+ minutes in four days and 8+ minutes in a month. I checked the computer clock to a different computer and the two computer always show the same time to the second. Maybe my measurement method is wrong, or maybe it’s an acceptable accuracy for a wrist watch, but I want a more accurate watch. And my wife said it’s a cheap-looking gold color! I am returning the watch.

I received my watch yesterday, had the band fitted today, and couldn’t be more pleased to be be wearing this watch. You can’t really appreciate the look of the face from the internet. The rich blue with swirl design is classy and unique.
