Not only does the box feature an aesthetically pleasing outer sleeve, but it also comes with some extras such as a customised spring bar tool, luxury polishing cloth a owner’s medallion and spare strap, your purchase becomes much more than just the timepiece itself. Further tidings in the form of a Van Brauge brochure and warranty booklet cements this magnificent accessory as something special that will last far longer than just the life of the watch itself.

My Inspiration

The moment I set foot in the enchanting city of Oxford, I was captivated by its eternal elegance and knew that it would provide the perfect inspiration for my watchmaking endeavours. Thus, the Oxford collection was born, melding together the style and sophistication synonymous with this historic city. But the inspiration did not stop there - as a connoisseur of fine gin, I decided to infuse each unique timepiece with the name of different gin varieties. The result is a truly magnificent collection of watches, each reflecting the exquisite characteristics of its namesake and the undeniable charm of Oxford.
