The watch: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer
Cincinnati’s Marigold is a dining destination where global flavors meet a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant delivers a menu that is bold, layered, and adventurous, much like the watch we are pairing it with: the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer, a timepiece designed for those who explore the world with curiosity and style. Together, they create a journey for both palate and wrist.
I have a confession to make…we did order appetizers, but were so hungry that we ate them before I took photos…sorry 🤣.
I can’t wait to get started, so buckle up your seat belts!
First, we started with the Marigold Burger. Served on a sesame brioche bun with sherry-charred red onion, creamy Welsh rarebit, and house-cut chips, the Marigold Burger is a statement in indulgence. The smokiness of the onion, the richness of the cheese, and the sturdy crunch of the chips create layers of comfort elevated to gourmet heights. Like the Worldtimer’s striking metallic blue dial, this burger is a centerpiece that commands attention with its refined yet approachable complexity.
Next, the Butter Chicken. Tender chicken enveloped in a velvety, spiced tomato cream sauce, paired with fluffy saffron rice and fresh vegetable accompaniments. This dish balances richness with subtle heat, a nod to Indian culinary tradition perfected over centuries. Much like the Worldtimer’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement, the Butter Chicken is precise, reliable, and consistent, offering a flawless balance of flavors that endure.
Now onto the Malabar Shrimp. A fragrant curry highlighting plump shrimp, simmered in a spice-forward sauce with notes of curry leaves and coastal influence. The bold seasoning pairs beautifully with saffron-dyed basmati rice, offering a dish that is both delicate and powerful. Just as the Worldtimer’s 24-hour ring connects global cities, the Malabar Shrimp connects land and sea in one unified and flavorful experience.
For those who crave intensity, the Short Rib Vindaloo delivers. Slow-braised beef short rib is immersed in a fiery sauce with deep, smoky undertones. Served with saffron rice, it is a dish that demands attention and lingers in memory. This dish mirrors the Worldtimer’s ability to withstand magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, built for intensity and designed to thrive in challenging environments.
A decadent finish, this date cake is topped with warm toffee sauce and paired with cream. Moist, sweet, and satisfying, it strikes the perfect balance between richness and comfort, leaving diners with a final note of indulgence. Like the watch’s central Earth depiction, it is a reminder of artistry and detail, a finishing flourish that elevates the entire experience.
The Pairing
Marigold’s menu is a reflection of global exploration through flavor, and there is no better timepiece to pair with it than the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer. Its dial features a stunning depiction of the Earth as viewed from the North Pole, capturing the interconnectedness of global cities through its 24-hour world time ring. This watch is both technically sophisticated and visually striking, much like Marigold’s culinary approach.
The Aqua Terra Worldtimer embodies the spirit of travel, with its Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement ensuring precision no matter where the journey leads. Its resilience to magnetic fields, paired with water resistance up to 150 meters, makes it a watch for explorers who demand reliability without sacrificing elegance. Just as Marigold offers diners a culinary passport through its diverse dishes, the Worldtimer offers a constant reminder of the vast and flavorful world waiting to be experienced.
