Some collectors chase rarity; Skip Powell chases history. A longtime friend of ours and the Head of VIP at Oliver & Clarke, Skip has spent decades shaping an eye for watches that have lived real lives, pieces with provenance, character, and the kind of documentation that makes the firm one of the most respected names in military and tool‑watch collecting.

We recently welcomed a small circle of friends for a private viewing of their collection, joined as well by Raymond, Oliver & Clarke’s timepiece specialist whose depth of knowledge brings another dimension to every discussion. Together, Skip and Raymond walked us through the watches that embody the firm’s specialty: purposeful objects with stories worth preserving. Settle into this conversation with Skip, where history, character, and craft come forward in a way only he can deliver.

The Linen Fields of Normandy with Steve Knorsch

Last week, our New York Managing Director, Steve Knorsch, travelled to Normandy at the invitation of Solbiati, the luxury linen brand owned by Loro Piana. Alongside a small group of twenty tailors and shirt makers from around the world. He was given a rare opportunity to witness the very beginning of linen's journey, from seed and flower through to the fibres that will eventually become some of the world's finest cloth.

For those of us who spend our days discussing tailoring, it was a reminder that great garments don't begin on the cutting table. They begin with the people, places and natural processes that make exceptional cloth possible.

Spring in Lisbon - Drop 1

Spring in Lisbon - Drop 1

This season, we unveil the first chapter of our Spring collection with a sun-drenched campaign set against the luminous backdrop of Lisbon. 

Shot in the golden morning light that spills through the city’s narrow streets, the campaign captures the quiet elegance of Lisbon’s pastel façades and timeworn textures. Soft yellows, dusty blues, faded greens, and chalky whites echo throughout the collection, subtly woven into lightweight tailoring and relaxed silhouettes.
