Coniston - Bluebird Reviews

5 Rating 185 Reviews
I was so impressed with my entire Marloe experience from the story of the brand, ethos, marketing, customer service and finally the product. I have been contemplating a Marloe for several months and recently went for the Coniston Bluebird. I am so impressed with the service and the quality of the product that I have just bought another Coniston and a Haskell! Oliver was brilliant with all my enquires and assisting with my purchase. If your thinking about one but not sure it will live up to expectations, don’t worry they really are as good as they look, it has exceeded my expectations. I have had more comments and compliments on my Marloe than any other watch I own, some of which are almost 10 times the price. Thanks Oliver and Gordon, keep up the good work.

When I went looking for my first mechanical watch, I had some simple but clear expectations: A sapphire crystal, an exhibition back so I could enjoy my first non-quartz watch, and an attractive design. The more I looked, the more I saw how similar many affordable watch designs are, lacking in differentiation and real character. But a brand I kept coming back to was Marloe. I bought the Coniston Bluebird based on design, specs, cost and concept. I considered the steel, with its contrast and subtle red touches, but the story of the racing Campbells kept drawing me back to the bluebird. I could highlight many design touches with this watch, such as well applied indices, but I have to hand it to them with the lume. The white circle separates the blue chapter ring from the main blue dial, and so serves as a simple but effective design element. In the dark, the white circle reveals itself to be luminescent, a unique excite and delight. Though a small thing, it’s a good example of the quality and functionality of the design language. In a world of samey watches, Marloe designs really stand apart.

I bought this watch as a birthday present for my partner, after deliberating for days between the Bluebird and the Vulcan. I was extremely impressed with the speed of delivery and the presentation box. The watch looked great too. My partner was well happy with his gift, a really good looking watch, so all in all a good purchase.

This watch really is a beautiful design. The hand-winding is very smooth. I have not had a chance to check the accuracy yet. I would buy another Marloe watch in a heartbeat.

For many years I owned handbuilt , bespoke British Sportscars. The attraction was having something different to the mainstream, something that wasn't part of the crowd.A product from a small manufacturer, punching well above its weight. On seeing the Marloe Consiston Bluebird for the first time I experienced the same feelings. The colour of the dial was so different to anything I had seen before, the application and execution of the the lume was unique. The watch itself is beautifully made and evokes a sense of occasion everyone it is worn. The additional appeal of dealing direct with the people who made and designed the watch makes purchasing a watch from the Marloe Watch Company a special experience, with many top end watches you are just another faceless customer. I hope as Marloe get bigger that this will not be lost, as it makes all the difference. I love the watch and I am so pleased I took the plunge and bought it, I actually looked at it for several weeks, ending up with me missing the chance to pick my birthday as a serial number. However this worked out well as I spotted that the serial number 0167 ( January 1967) was still available, a date which adds a certain poignancy to the watch and ties in with the " Courage is not being fearless" quote. I look forward very much to being a customer of Marloe again in the future.
