Collectables
Occasionally, we come across some pretty special things. Sometimes refined, sometimes indulgent, they're united by the fact that we just know we have to have them. Be it Jaeger-LeCoultre travel clocks, which take us back to the first days of jet-set international travel, or decadent Hermès money clips from the early 20th century, all of these reminds us of how certain special objects can punctuate our lives.
For a brief time, they offer a very welcome distraction in the office. We then share them, and their story, here. Whether they come to live on your living room coffee table or become trusted partners on your travels, we hope you find you as much enjoyment from them as we do.

What makes a transitional watch?
Evolutions in watchmaking are rarely quick or abrupt. Things evolve gradually, shifting from one state to another over an extended period of time. Because of this, it's sometimes possible to pinpoint watches that are arguably transitional in nature, marking those changes, in a subtle, but noticeable way.
