Bench is a British brand which completely captures the essence of UK street style. Established in the late 1980’s the brand began as a company which manufactured t-shirts appealing to the BMX and skate boarding scenes but as its popularity grew, it extended its product lines to a broader spectrum of clothing, accessories and Bench watches. Today it is renowned as being an urban style lifestyle brand with edgy, funky and cool products with a true stamp of British style.
Bench is particularly popular in the North of England in areas such as Manchester following its association with the Britpop era in the late 90’s whereby bands such as Oasis and Blur despite being musical rivals, were all seen wearing Bench clothing. The brand was highly recognised in the music industry and today it has a much wider appeal and can often be seen worn by artists in the urban music scene. Of course, the brand now has a global widespread fan base and is retailed in Europe, USA, Canada and Australia but still remains true to its British core values and unique style.
Bench watches, like the range of clothing are funky, cool and urban styled. With the simple but bold Bench lettering logo often heavily featured on the dials, the watches take inspiration from skate and BMX style but with sophisticated twists making the watches smart and highly on trend. Bang on trend wide chunky straps are a common feature and the collection tends to use neutral colour tones such as black, white, brown and reds to make the watches versatile and ideal for a number of looks.
Right from the beginning, Bench wanted to convey the typical British style and personality and base their designs on the needs of real people. Bench watches are certainly reflective of this and are also therefore very affordable with prices ranging from approximately £25 to £55 making them accessible to many but retaining individual style, high quality and reliability.
