Hackett London and Bamford London are thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration that combines the timeless elegance of British fashion with the precision engineering of high-end horology. This exclusive partnership brings to life a limited-edition timepiece designed for the modern gentleman who values craftsmanship, individuality and sophisticated style.
For over 40 years, Hackett London, co-founded by Jeremy Hackett in 1983, has been a prominent name in British menswear, offering high-quality clothing that embodies classic British style with a contemporary twist. Renowned for its impeccable tailoring, Hackett has consistently upheld a dedication to timeless design and superior craftsmanship, ensuring every piece is made with attention to detail and a nod to tradition.
On the other hand, Bamford London, led by George Bamford, is a trailblazer in the luxury watch industry, known for its innovative, customised timepieces. The company thrives on personalisation, crafting bespoke watches that reflect the individuality of their wearers. Each Bamford London timepiece is meticulously designed and tailored to the highest standards, making it a coveted brand for those who appreciate uniqueness and exclusivity.
The result of this collaboration is the Hackett x Bamford London GMT watch, a Swiss-made timepiece that beautifully merges the DNA of both brands. At its heart lies the Sellita SW330-2 movement, a self-winding mechanism featuring 25 jewels and 56-hour power reserve. The 40mm black PVD steel case with an anti-glare sapphire crystal glass lens is designed with the modern traveller in mind, being water resistant to 100 metres, boasting a 24-hour GMT hand and an internal rotating bezel, allowing the wearer to keep track of a second time zone.
This sophisticated timepiece is not just a testament to craftsmanship but also a perfect fusion of Hackett’s iconic British style and Bamford’s passion for customisation. The bespoke elements reflect Hackett’s design heritage, while Bamford’s attention to detail and focus on personalisation are evident in every facet of the watch.
In essence, the Hackett x Bamford GMT watch embodies the best of both worlds: a timeless accessory that speaks to those who value quality, heritage and modern elegance, with George Bamford commenting:
“I am so excited by this collaboration with the team at Hackett London, an iconic British brand that I’ve grown up with and I love.”
While Jeremy Hackett added:
“I have always been passionate about watches and believe it to be one of the few accessories a gentleman can wear, so I am delighted that Hackett has collaborated with Bamford watches to create this limited edition timepiece. There’s no time like the present”
This limited-edition watch is available online at www.hackett.com and www.bamfordlondon.com as well as in selected Hackett stores, priced at £1,600.
