We’re delighted to tell you about our latest watch — the limited-edition LINDUM. Named after the Roman moniker for our home city of Lincoln, the Lindum is a tribute to our heritage. Picture this: like all modern Pinchbeck watches, it is meticulously hand-assembled in a 14th Century building just steps away from the majestic Cathedral and a stone's throw from the heart of the city's Roman centre. While the Lindum resonates with tradition, it embodies the finest modern craftsma

The Charles watch: Number One in the Limited Edition When we created the Charles watch to celebrate the Coronation in May, we held back number one in this limited edition for later release. The time has now come to make this unique and desirable number available! The King will celebrate his 75th birthday next week, so we are now offering watch number one. The first customer to order a Charles watch following this newsletter will receive it in early December. This beautiful ti

Looking forward to an extra hour in bed? A few years ago it wasn’t hard for most of us to adjust our own clocks and watches twice a year, because we didn’t own very many. If anything, it’s even easier today, because the timekeepers in digital devices usually reset automatically. There are still a few, though, that need doing manually, including, of course, mechanical watches. In some places it’s more of a challenge. For example, there are more than 350 mechanical clocks (incl

Not just another watch strap Every new Harold Pinchbeck watch is delivered with a card bearing the initials of the watchmaker who crafted it. Equally remarkably, we include a card from Tanner Bates in Devon, signed by the man who made it. We love these personal details, and we know that many of our Customers appreciate them too. We have been fitting these superb straps for years: no other watchmaker fits them as standard. Here at the workshop t’s always a pleasure to open a T

At Harold Pinchbeck we are proud of our long association with the Race for Doggett’s Coat and Badge, which one of the oldest rowing races in the world. It takes place annually on the River Thames in London, and has a history dating back to 1715. The race is named after Thomas Doggett, an Irish actor and comedian, who established the event. Doggett was a supporter of watermen and wanted to create a competition to encourage young apprentices in the waterman trade, which involve

The Inigo is more than the George’s big brother. Having said that, its dial bears more than a passing resemblance, with its elegant art deco theme. On the wrist, it makes a bold statement as it clearly tells the time at the quickest glance, yet at 42mm diameter it’s a great size for practical use. The elegant stainless steel case has an exhibition back that perfectly displays the intricate perfection of the fine Swiss movement, while the deep-cut milling of our Company’s name

The George has been one of our key offerings for over 15 years now. Its popularity isn’t surprising. Here at Harold Pinchbeck we are one of the few watchmakers who still cater for those who want a traditionally sized, high quality wristwatch. Over the last decade or so many makers have concentrated on the trend for larger timepieces, seemingly forgetting customers who prefer a more discreet watch to wear. So at 36mm diameter, the George ticks many boxes for men of all ages, a
