    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…

    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…

    BAMFORD MAYFAIR | The Territory Pack

    The Bamford Mayfair collection returns in 2018 with a new aesthetic of vibrant and earthy colours in a capsule collection called the “Territory Pack”.

    The Oldest Whisky in the World

    When Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862 was distilled among Scottish hills, the world was just in the middle of the age of steam, undergoing changes driven by the Industrial Revolution. Factories fully equipped with machinery transformed the faces of individual countries, large steamships crossed the Atlantic Ocean and the railway finally connected remote metropolises. A bottle…

    Thinkpiece: Time speeds up the older you get – here’s proof

    Did you know that the older you get time actually moves faster? Don’t worry; I shall (try to) explain all… It’s a theory I’ve mulled over for years; it surfaces every now and then over dinner, after a few drinks or during that coffee catch-up that gets far deeper than you envisaged. But recently the…
