In the North-West of England lies a mountainous region of breathtaking beauty. The Lake District, with its valleys, woodlands, fells and lakes is captivating, and stirs a hunger for the great outdoors. It was home to some of English literature’s greatest and most revered writers and poets, including author William Wordsworth, who wrote of it on many occasions;

‘The loveliest spot that man hath found’

Bordered by woods and towering crags, Derwent Water is surrounded by the diverse magnificence of the Lake District – to its West rise the fells of Cat Bells, to the East, Friar’s Crag. The Derwent takes its name from this lake, as it was on her very banks that the concept was born.

Harking back to the dress watches of the 50s and 60s, the Derwent features a hi-dome custom acrylic crystal. Most watches of this era had solid case-backs, but the Derwent Classic offers a small porthole displaying the balance wheel smoothly oscillating back and forth, another contemporary element bringing this timepiece into the 21st Century.

At Marloe we follow very few rules except one; nothing unnecessary. If it doesn’t need to be there, it shouldn’t be there. By following this ethos it allows us to design freely and accurately, knowing that only the elements that bring utility and clarity to the design will make the cut.

As such the Morar is, in our humble opinion, a watch in the purest form; no aesthetic quirks, no luxury materials and no claims of status. It is a robust, beautifully made, expertly engineered instrument that can withstand almost any environment.

Loch Morar is situated on the North Western coast of Lochaber in the West Highlands and is a stone’s throw away from Mallaig; the main port for the small isles and Skye. The loch itself is incredibly long and vastly deep, fed with fresh water from the mountains that surround it.

One inhabitant has traversed the ages and remains to this day a mystery; Morag, as she’s affectionately known, is said to have lived in this loch for centuries. It is said that Morag is around 30 feet long, with rough skin and three dorsal humps, and we can’t help but be enamoured by this creature of folklore. So much so we placed her on our caseback.

The Haskell was designed with the modern day adventurer in mind, whether an urban wanderer, working through the bustling city commute, or a world traveller trekking through new environments; the Haskell is designed to be with you every step of the way.

Where will it take you?

The Coniston Collection is made in partnership with the Campbell Family Heritage Trust, with royalties from the sale of each watch going towards the maintenance and upkeep of the Bluebird vehicles, as well as the celebration of the Campbell family name.

The Coniston is inspired by its namesake lake, where Donald and his father Sir Malcolm Campbell set numerous water-speed records.

In designing the Solent our research revealed the approach of robustness, something that all nautical furniture seems to adopt; whether it be the hull of a yacht, the bob of a buoy or the granite-flared base of a lighthouse - each has an underlying seam of strength.

The world of seafaring is steeped in elegance and fortitude, stoicism and bravery. The Solent reflects this sentiment; our own sentinel of the sea.
