New Year New Watch

We are always excited when the new year comes round as it means there is opportunity for new projects. For us, on the forefront of our minds is expanding the women's collection and really looking into how far we can push our bespoke range. Opening up the mind to see where skill can take you is so exciting and allows the most amazing ideas to be produced. 

For us, as a team, looking into watch design and production always has its perks and total disappointments. I mean, you strive to reach for the moon and there are always obstacles in the way. With design it is so similar but we find it is amazing when you see a project begin to take shape and form the idea that you had always hoped for. 

Making bespoke orders is so inspiring as well and being able to put someone else's wants and ideas into a physical product it is truly awesome! Their wildest dreams come true and that is so amazing to be part of. 

This year I hope to be able to design some truly inspiring watches. things that are so special and personal to people and make personal time pieces a necessity, rather than a luxury.

H.Pinchbeck Gift Guide

It is never too early to start thinking about things like Christmas. When it comes to dealing with bespoke orders, the more time the better, so we love it when customers know what they want when it is needed in a specific time frame. Buying for Christmas is always a hard one. We know that sometimes, you can just be unsure. There are so many colours and style options available, and the fact that you could make a bespoke watch, who knows what to pick? And when you are buying a gift, you want it to just be perfect! 

We have put together a gift guide with a few pointers for a few of our watches to give you a helping hand in deciding!

For the Ladies;

We have spoken about the Florence watch before on The Watch Tailor and we feel that this is the perfect gift for any woman. As the dial is so simple and minimal it matches a range of strap colours and means that you can pick one that would suit the recipient. Whether it be bright red or a nice neutral nude, this watch will suit all outfits and be a perfect gift.

Our other watches are unisex and can also be worn by women even though they may be shown more on men. The William watch with a parchment dial is a beautiful casual watch. Perfect for everyday and the warm parchment tones, when teamed with a brown strap, really make a beautiful piece for the everyday woman. 

Our Brought SALT watch is a great edition to a woman's watch collection and is very sporty in style. The Salt is a stylish, easy to read watch with a stainless steel case, sapphire glass and screw down crown. Again, you can have your choice of lizard straps but with the red strap you have a bold piece of wrist wear for the classically stylish. 

The Oxford Hawksmoor is a classically British watch. A perfect piece for both men and women and if you have any association with Oxford, it is truly a beautiful piece to have as a token to the times you may have spent there. It is our biggest watch with a fantastically clear face enabling the style of the watch to shine through. With the Oxford coat of arms it is truly a lovely piece in both the blue or cream.

For the Gentleman ;

It is quite hard to find a starting point for talking about men's watches. We have such a beautiful variety available but if you are looking for something special why not consider our Edward watch. It is a beautifully traditional watch. With a polished stainless steel case, finely painted dial and hand-cut, hand-stitched leather strap. 

Our George watch with sports hands is a perfect watch for the gentleman looking for something for everyday. The clear dial, especially in the midnight blue is a great watch ready to be with you all day and suit most outings. 

If you are looking for something very special for a man then our Lambeth Reach watch is the absolute creme de la creme. This is a complete collector's piece with only 270 being made. 
Its contemporary design, in stainless steel, is a happy marriage with traditional dial hands. The result is bold, yet restrained. Your Lambeth Reach watch will be delivered in a wooden presentation box, with a commemorative plaque and signed certificate, and the back of each will be laser engraved with its name and number, and the words 'The Glory Of The River'. Your own number may be reserved in advance, subject to availability. The Leather strap is individually crafted by Devon craftsman Tanner Bates.

Any of our watches would make excellent Christmas presents, but I hope this has helped you in your decision making when looking for a perfect Christmas present.
