Gift Recommendation

Largely Unchanged Icons Since The 60's 

With the Max Bill watches the play of line, form and tone creates pieces that are near perfect examples of what the everyday watch should be. Effortlessly stylish with authentic vintage flair, highly legible at all times, modest on the wrist, yet can start a conversation. They are perfect for the office, a dinner with the relatives or a casual jaunt around town. They also exude German-made quality with refined details like curved hands and impossibly thin bezels.

More Refined Version of our Model 2 Classic

The Model 2 Premium is a more refined version of our Model 2 Classic strap. For the Premium, we took the same tapering 2-piece strap design, but made it out of a combination of Wickett & Craig vegetable tanned lining and Horween top leather. The edges are now painted with several layers of complimentary color, for a cleaner fit and finish.The knots are hand-tied out of thick braided, waxed cotton cord for a hand-made detail. We used both a fixed metal loop as well as a wide leather band for keepers, creating a rugged detail that hints at military straps. By mixing elements of dress and sport straps, the Model 2 Premium has a retro aesthetic that is simultaneously masculine and elegant. Try this on everything from your beat up tool diver to your dress-casual vintage piece. The Model 2 Premium was designed by Worn & Wound and manufactured in New York City.

Every home needs a valet tray

There are few objects as simple, yet as useful as a good valet tray. When you get home, you need a place to empty your pockets. Throwing your keys on a counter or table is a recipe for a disaster. Similarly, when it’s time to take your watch off, it’s good to put it someplace safe and soft. The Valet Tray by our friends at Convoy Co not only gets the job done, but looks great while doing so.Made using Italian Nappa for their exterior, and Italian waterproof suede for their interior, and featuring matte black hardware, these Valet trays will look great no matter what room they are in. Choose between black, navy, and green.

A spherical desk alarm clock

Newgate has always found a way to make the art of displaying time interesting. In this newest release, they've created a British designed desk alarm clock that plays on the idea of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Introducing the Centre of the Earth LCD Alarm Clock.At 4.3 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide and comes in three colors, white, yellow and black. The spherical design stands out amongst the rectangular or square options that dominate the market. The design does provide a further benefit beyond it's aesthetic appeal as the black LCD screen at its center is set back. This should provide additional protection from glare, allowing the display to be legible in more environments.
