When do you feel most free?
"When I’m out and about with my camera. I love to visit new places and discover new cultures…I’m off to Antwerp next week! I love being in forests too and spend a lot of time in woodland back at home getting muddy and soaking up the fresh air! That is when I feel most free!"


Watch
"I chose the fte3002 Rose Gold Watch with tan leather strap because I feel that it suits my own style the best. It is also the most flattering to my pale skin tone and I love the look of the tanned leather against the brushed steel watch face. I wear it both to work and socially as it seems to go with everything! I particularly like the subtle detailing of the fte logo on the underside of the clasp and on the back of the watch itself as I’m not a person that’s particularly into brand labelling…but I do look for the quality in products."


fte3002
The petite 30 Edition watch combines classic detailing with a modern minimalist finish - branding free. It is incredibly light at just 27g, and super thin at only 6mm.

"I was losing the will to live searching for a ladies watch with a leather strap. My criteria were; long enough strap, easy to read face but not huge numbers, dial not too big and not too small, no fuss, no visible brand name, and elegant. Paul and Kirsty were extremely helpful, and their service and speed was much appreciated. A great brand; I’m glad I found it!
