When you buy a classic car you want to know it’s history right?…
Well this is the watch equivalent, except they are new but come with a serious history.
These stunning watches are from London based ‘DENT’.
The history of this company is just mind blowing:
King Edward VII owned a Dent, as did Charles Darwin. Dent’s Standard Clock at the Royal Observatory kept the British Empire on time. And millions of tourists flock to London every year to take photographs of a the world’s most famous Dent: Parliament’s Great Clock – or Big Ben, to you and me.
Many things have changed since 1814, when Edward John Dent began making his very first chronometers. But their huge passion for horology remains. The twenty-first century has seen Dent release two new collections of wristwatches, create a series of skeleton clocks and return to architectural clockmaking.
