Schofield Watch Company - The Signalman DLC on black sharkskin
In construction and design the Signalman is inspired by the great British lighthouses of the 18th and 19th Centuries. They, like the watch, stand as a testament to great British engineering, impeccable timing and precision. They also encompass an English quirkiness and individuality which sits well with the English-based company and Giles Ellis himself.

IWC - Ingenieur (Vintage) // History
No other watch from IWC has cemented the company’s reputation for technical expertise as strongly as the first Ingenieur, launched in 1955 with an IWC automatic movement housed in a soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields. The giant leap from hand-wound to automatic movements had been made four years earlier with the then revolutionary IWC 85 calibre with central seconds, whose origins dated back to the 1940s.However, it was only with the Ingenieur that IWC catapulted itself into the vanguard of Swiss manufacturers competing to create the first bidirectional automatic movement. Its winding system – featuring a rocking bar and rollers in the automatic 85-calibre family – goes all the way back to Technical Director Albert Pellaton and set new standards in watchmaking.

GANT by Michael Bastian Silver Crown Watch
“Michael Bastian’s collections for Gant continue to grow larger each season. This summer, he introduced sunglasses and this fall marks his label’s first foray into timepieces. When we first saw the prototype months ago, we immediately noticed the oversized crown. Bastian explained that the design was based on the early wristwatches from the WWII era, which were essentially pocket watches affixed to a leather strap. Inside the water resistant stainless steel case is a high precision Japanese quartz movement by Miyota. What’s more, it comes with three easily interchangeable NATO straps—light brown Italian leather, olive drab and navy with maroon stripes—so it pairs with practically anything. “The important thing to me about a watch is that it remains timeless and above fashion,” says Bastian. “A good watch should become part of you.”
