Markwell’s Hard Candy turns enamel into everyday colour

Markwell's Hard Candy collection puts the dial first. The featured blue version has a lustrous enamel surface, quirky applied markers and a matching seconds-hand accent, making a compact watch feel playful without overwhelming its simple three-hand display.

Beneath the vivid finish is a Japanese automatic Miyota 9039 in a 37mm Telford case rated for 100 metres of water resistance. That combination of modest proportions, dependable mechanics and confident colour is the point: enamel-like richness need not be reserved for precious-metal dress watches. In the crowded independent segment, the Hard Candy makes its argument through visual personality.
