Handmade with Machine

First saw this compass and watch by Bremont in this month's edition of Wallpaper, dedicated to the handmade. Came across again it yesterday whilst browsing their site so I thought I'd post it

I love the sheer industrial weight of the design and it's nod to Spitfire navigational dials. Not sure how practical it would be in my life, thought, I'm not one for waistcoats.

At first I though it was just a 'one off' and, sadly not available with a strap (wouldn't really work being double sided), but I've just done a little web search to find this post on ATG Vintage Watches Forum! Where can I buy one please?

Also found this gallery on Bremont's Facebook page
