    Bamford 80 — Time to reconsider?

    The current watch space is very interesting to say the least, with the purist’s logical viewpoint of value challenged by the rising popularity of the smart watch. These hyper-function aesthetic-phobic watches have become a mainstay of health and habit tracking in almost every aspect of life. Fully customisable they have changed the very meaning of…

  • Brand Mixology — Perfect timing

    Brand Mixology — Perfect timing

    There was a time I could feel myself getting “collab” fatigue; this brand is releasing a collection with that one, or this new modern brand reinterpreting that famous old brand. The fact is I couldn’t have been any further from the truth; as time has progressed, collaborations have actually saved brand creativity. It’s the equivalent…

  • Cielo — The Sky is the Limit

    Cielo — The Sky is the Limit

    Having to compromise in life is something we learn to accept from a young age. You can’t have your cake and eat it — or so we’re told anyway. To coin the phraseology of the times, I’ve generally been one with a more “Bullish” outlook to life, a dreamer if you will. I like the…

  • CHOPARD x BAMFORD

    CHOPARD x BAMFORD

    In a world waking up from a pandemic-induced stasis, the idea of anything frenetic might feel a little alien. There is a hangover of sorts; a squaring of eyes from over a year of experience having been boxed and scrolled through. Scrolled past might be a more pertinent term. There are few milestones since 2020…

  • BLANCPAIN | Fifty Fathoms Ceramic Blue

    BLANCPAIN | Fifty Fathoms Ceramic Blue

    There is something elegant about a deep blue, or a midnight blue as it appears in the colouring of a perfect tuxedo, a colour used to achieve that impervious black look while under the lights — “blue-black” they call it. Add this hue to a classic diver’s watch, faced with ceramic, and constructed in vibrant…
