Celebrate a new horological platform with drinks, dinner jackets and dress watches

Over the past few months, we at Brass Heart have been working hard. We’ve been researching, writing and editing in-depth journalistic deep-dives; we’ve been interviewing collectors and important figures in the watch industry and we’ve been shooting horological rarities, all so that we can build an editorial platform worth your time.

And we do mean that. We’re well aware that there are other watch websites out there, great platforms far more established than our nascent journal. But we’re determined to create content that you, the dedicated watch collector, will return to week after week. And this, our first ever photo shoot, is just one part of that.

We’ve selected some of the finest contemporary dress watches around for both men and women, from the likes of Vacheron Constantin, Panerai, Patek Philippe and Grand Seiko, paired with a healthy dose of late 70s, cocktail-laced hedonism. If you’ve ever had to flip a coin to decide between Annabel’s or 5 Hertford Street, this one’s for you.

So grab a glass, pop a cork and raise a celebratory toast with us as we embark on a grand new adventure in watch editorial. Cheers!
