The Case

The specification also includes a screwed-down case back and screw-in case tube fitted with a triple gasket crown. The case is 43mm in diameter, has a thickness of 13mm and measures 22mm between the lugs.

The Case Back & Movement

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.
