The four Crowder watch designs

Meet Crowder

Founded by James Rea as a very successful Kickstarter campaign, the story of how the Crowder ATP watch came to be is a genuinely heart warming one, and I am sure that this along with a beautiful design has made the campaign the success that it is.

The watch that James inherited from his Grandfather

During World War Two, James's grandfather was issued an Army Timepiece as many British servicemen were. Many years down the line James was lucky enough to inherit his watch. James loved that his watch had a unique style compared to modern watch design and that the materials had much more character. 

The watch had a classic but minimal style, since it was a utility piece issued to all troops.

The Paul Hewitt Watch - Product Review

That Dapper Chap carry's out a full product review of the Paul Hewitt Classic Line watch.

Paul Hewitt watches complete the preppy look for both men and women

Product

Inspired by the timeless chic of the "preppy style" originating from the USA, Paul Hewitt products represent casual authority coupled with lively colours and a touch of maritime flair. Paul Hewitt interpret the term "preppy" as an element of an individual lifestyle, which is holistically reflected in the mentality of the brand.

Paul Hewitt says "Style consciousness, individuality and high quality standards constitute our entrepreneurial triad for an exclusive product range that deliberately stands out from the interchangeable masses. Through the selection of carefully tailored style elements, we are therefore able to create exceptional and timeless accessory pieces that not only tastefully round off your outfit, but individually complement it"

Product Review - The Daniel Wellington Watch

Craig of That Dapper Chap reviews the Classic Warwick watch by Daniel Wellington.

PRODUCT

Daniel Wellington were kind enough to gift me the Classic Warwick watch, this will be the focus of this review. 

Established in Uppsala in Sweden, just an hour’s drive from Stockholm, there is a story about how the watch came to be and their website states: “Filip Tysander, the founder of Daniel Wellington, met an intriguing gentleman from the British Isles. The man had the inspiring ability to be gentlemanly but still relaxed and unpretentious. He had an impeccable style, and loved to wear his watches on old weathered Nato straps. His name? Well, Daniel Wellington, of course. A strong friendship emerged between the two, and our founder was inspired not only by the man’s many great life stories but also by his class and timeless style of fashion”. 

I’m not sure how true this is as is reminiscent of The Great Gatsby story. A part of me likes to think it is, but only the people at Daniel Wellington know the truth about that one.
