Jay (Eire) explores how a new Furlan Marri Beads of Rice bracelet transforms his Tasti Tondi, enhancing its versatility for professional travel. His insights offer a practical perspective on optimizing microbrand watches for diverse sartorial needs, demonstrating how a simple accessory can elevate a timepiece's aesthetic and functional appeal. This discussion is particularly relevant for collectors seeking adaptable watches for business attire.
I bought a bracelet for my Tasti Tondi, it’s Furlan Marri’s own Beads of Rice bracelet.
My primary use case for the Furlan Marri watches over the last 3-4 years is to have something more appropriate (size/style) to match work clothing when traveling (and traveling with another watch that doesn’t work well in a blazer or suit).
These are great sizes for my wrist, and I think with the bracelet now have a cleaner overall look.
As for FM more generally, personally I love what they are doing and as I’ve said here before they were one of the first micro brands I handled where I felt the watches really felt that they were executed at a level above the actual price point. (There are others today which meet that same threshold).
Some pictures.


Wishing you an enjoyable weekend. Best, Emmanuel
