In detail: Farer watches – designed in Britain, made in Switzerland
There’s something interesting going on in the UK watch scene at the moment. Away from the humourless watch snobs – of which there’s plenty – style-savvy chaps are paying more attention to what goes on their wrists. And Farer is perfectly placed to tempt them into a quality timepiece.
Designed in Britain, but made in Switzerland, Farer offers a range of watches that mix minimalist looks with the type of attention-to-detail usually found on more expensive models. And for fans of horology, it’s now moving into mechanical calibres.
“It was always our aim to make affordable automatics,” says the brand. “Once you’ve had a mechanical watch you can never be without one.”
Details are important, too. “We use 12-times over-printing, exacting colours, vintage curved dials, and combine them with interesting, unique finishes.”
With three new ‘GMT’ (watches that can tell the time in two timezones) and a trio of ‘supercompressor’ diving watches, Farer is a brand whose time has arrived.
