This exclusive press launch was held at Pewtree Anderson & Gold Art Gallery in Soho and was beautifully decorated with abstract and striking paintings by established artist David Coffield. These paintings added a touch of class to the whole event and were interspersed with Welder’s own inimitable artwork depicting these stunning K24 Watches. The Exclusive Welder K24 Watches are designed to look worn and have an overall vintage feel to them; scratches and a distressed appearance are added in the production process and blend Welder’s heritage and future seamlessly. They all feature reinforced stainless steel cases to protect the efficient and futuristic Miyota movement inside, a movement which watch insiders believe is way ahead of it’s time.

Breathtaking Bulova Releases Dazzling Diamond Collection!
Bulova Watches are one of the oldest and most well respected watch brands in the world and with the release of their new Diamond Collection, this reputation is planted firmly in the minds of us at least. The Bulova Diamond Collection contains some of the most stunning watches that have ever graced our shelves and have real diamonds set in the face for a sparkle that lights up any room. Made mainly with beautifully high polished stainless steel bracelets, these will last for years and come with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty as standard for that added peace of mind.
Bulova Watches have an incredibly rich history which stretches right back to 1875 when the company founder, Joseph Bulova emigrated to America from Bohemia at the age of nineteen. He opened a small jewellery store in New York called J. Bulova and from there, this little shop has skyrocketed into a world renowned brand, coveted by men and women the world over! Bulova watches were the very first brand to introduce technology which ensured completely accurate time on all of their watches across the range. To do so the Bulova Observatory was constructed in 1920 in Manhattan, the first facility of its kind on top of a skyscraper. On the top floor of the Observatory an expert mathematician took readings that were simultaneously and electrically recorded on a chronograph located in the lower floors of the building. There, the Setting and Timing units used the data to set the time on all of the company’s timepieces in the most accurate way possible. Nowadays, Bulova still uses the same kind of technology to keep their watches running smoothly and their amazing Quartz movements will ensure that you get efficient timekeeping for years!
The Bulova Diamond Collection is the perfect gift for that special someone or a gorgeous treat for yourself and include some beautiful models such as the Bulova Diamond Collection 98R107 Watch, the Bulova Diamond Collection 96R105 Watch and the Bulova Diamond Collection 98R162 Watch. Check out some of the stunning examples below and make sure to visit our Bulova Watches page to see the full range.

Vivienne Westwood Watches are quite simply some of the most beautiful timepieces that we have ever come across, and this can be attributed to Vivienne’s amazing design history and eye for quality.

Vivienne Westwood Watches leave no stone unturned with womens, mens and unisex watches in the range and a whole plethora of materials being used to amazing effect. A combination of leather, metal and fabric are juxtaposed with striking, beautiful diamantes.
