When do you feel most free?
"We feel most free when we are experiencing the cities that we draw. Whether whizzing by streetlights on a nighttime drive or getting lost in obscure pathways, the city is always the provider of happy accidents and endless memories."


Which watch you chose & why?
"I chose the Freedom To Exist "Gold & Black fte3001" because of its sleek yet simple design, and classic colour combination. It’s a versatile watch that compliments any outfit, so I’m comfortable wearing it in a casual or formal setting."

Sylvia Moritz


"The Rose Gold & Tan fte4002 is a beautiful timepiece that has clearly had a lot of design thought and acumen invested in it. From the glint of its machined rose gold edge to the sturdiness of its tan leather strap, it was an easy choice to make."

"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!
