CARTIER MEN’S TANK SOLO XL MODEL W5200028 WATCH

The Tank is one of Cartier’s most recognised collections. Introduced in 1917 it was inspired by the tanks that were first seen in the First World War and is one of the longest lasting models in production. The rectangular design creates a really unique aesthetic and the angular case with its straight lines also adds to the Art Deco feel of the piece. The dial is a simple one with traditional Roman numerals and Cartier’s signature blue hands. The handsome stainless steel bracelet integrates perfectly with the case for a seamless finish. The classic model effortlessly combines elements of the past with contemporary trends.

JAEGER LECOULTRE MEN’S REVERSO DUOFACE Q3908420 WATCH

The iconic Reverso was originally designed for polo players back in 1931. The unique spinning case was thought up so that the players could protect their delicate watch dial from breaking whilst they were playing. The special trick has remained a popular one, continuously capturing the attention of watch lovers. Now the case of the Reverso rotates to reveal a different dial or a space for engraving. In this model on one side the dial is an elegant silver, whilst the other side is a luxurious blue, both powered by a manual wind movement for precision timekeeping. The blue alligator strap adds the final classic touch.

IWC MEN’S PILOT 36 IW324001 WATCH

First launched in 1936 this is IWC’s most iconic collection. The original models were developed for pilots when flying an aircraft relied heavily on the accuracy of their mechanical instruments! Now the timepieces carry on the tradition of the ‘cockpit-instrument’ look, coupled with outstanding technology. A Pilot’s dial should be kept to the bare essentials to make it easy to read, with the white triangle at 12 o’clock allowing you to instantly recognise the position of the hands. The simple, clean grey slate dial, white Arabic numeral and luxurious brown alligator strap create an understated and classic look that’s bound to be loved for generations.
