          Description

          This watch was a limited edition and is no longer available.

          Inspired by the magic of the English garden, this stunning design was created for us by Andy Wilx.

          The golden bee at the centre of the face hovers above a moving carpet of foliage and flora.

          Each watch is gilded with two tones of solid gold, which make the bee shimmer in the sunshine.

          The Golden Hour is also powered by a Swiss-made automatic mechanical movement, this means it doesn't have a battery, instead, it is powered by your movement.

          Our small team printed the individual colours in the design one by one, applied the metals by hand, then each watch was carefully assembled in our London workshop.

          How to read the time

          The hour is displayed by the red pointer on the sun dial.

          Check the position of the bees crown to find the minutes.

          The seconds revolve beneath the bee, marked by a red tile.

          Andy discusses his inspiration for the design

          “White Jasmine scrambles around a golden sundial while a Bumble Bee buzzes about, regal and majestic yet wild.

          The formal English garden has always been a source of inspiration: with its symmetrical borders, manicured lawns and avenues of topiary. Statues, fountains and sundials entangled in ivy and rose. Butterflies and bees busying themselves. Rabbits and birds popping in and out of secret hiding places.

          In this design I tried to capture the balance between the geometric and the organic in a landscaped garden and the magical allure of The Secret Garden.

          The Bee is one of my favourite motifs. The Honeybee characterises craftsmanship and honest toil, while the Queen Bee symbolises royalty and nobility.

          I love this watch and I hope you do too - it’s the bee’s knees!”
