Part of the fun in curating a collection of watches is the excitement when an outstanding example of a period watch comes along,

So today’s Watch dates to around 1927 and was made by the Illinois Watch Co, in its heyday these was were considered to be the Rolls Royce of American Watchmaking.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so here is a 1950’s Waltham Gents Dress Watch, it is unashamedly modelled on the Mainliner Design created originally by Longines in the 1940’s, a rather fetching dial and away you go !

A watch doesn’t have to be rare or expensive to be cool, and this 1967 Bulova Banker Gents Dress Watch proves that point completely,

A rare watch today, this dates from the 1930’s it’s a Girard Perregaux / Mimolux Gents Duo Dial Doctors Watch

It’s rarity stems not just because of its age or purpose, but that it features two watch brands on one dial, the Mimo Watch Co having rescued Girard Perregaux from going under

A cool weekend watch, this gents Omega Constellation Manhattan Dress Watch is a two tone picture of sophistication and great design. Great for any occasion.
