The notable feature of these new additions is their increased dimensions, while remaining true to the original Bauhaus design.The Bauhaus school of design began life as an art school in Germany in 1919, but went on to influence all the arts, architecture, typography, and industrial design for decades. Bauhaus is recognizable by the absence of ornamentation, and the form and function of an object working together seamlessly.An example of Bauhaus architecture further above, and a tripod chair by Max Bill. This is also Bauhaus.Bauhaus began as a school for industrial design, and while it's most associated with furniture and architecture, it originally didn't have an architecture component at the school at all. The architectural output from 1919-1927 was quite small. It was only after 1927, after Max Bill had left the school and moved to Zurich, that architecture became a focus, but the style is characterized by s

TAG Ownership Has It's Privileges
So, I'm driving down the highway this morning and there's this long line for the toll booth but over on the right there was a lane that said "TAG HOLDERS ONLY" so I got to drive right through without delay! I don't think they do that for any other watch. I guess it really does pay to own a TAG :-)

Some pics that we hope you enjoy!

We have been taking orders from all over the World and we now have a waiting period of around 6 months for a bespoke order for our English hand engraved watches. Here are the latest to be born, all are sold (except the last case pictured - bottom three pics) but we thought you chaps might enjoy seeing them anyway. Featured is a Breitling Bentley, Rolex Milgauss and 2 Panerai models.Thanks for looking and God Bless.Paul at Kindler & Thorpe

Summer/Casual watch decision
So I am looking to add another watch to the (very small) collection and am going back and forth on options and would welcome any opinions from the community!This will be to add to a GMT Master (worn in the office during the week) and a Royal Oak Chronograph stainless steel (worn for occasions/evening wear. The aim will be to upgrade this to a Rose Gold version in future but that's one for another day).I really want something to wear with jeans and a t-shirt on weekends, or around the swimming pool. I have a holiday coming up and fancy something new!Budget circa ¡ê12k GBP, and the options I am looking at are as follows;Patek Aquanaut 5167; + = it's a Patek! I've started to really hanker after a Patek and I like the 5167 over the 5711. Understated elegance. Value retention. Will go with anything. Rubber strap, ideal for it's purpose.- = I don't want to pay overs and if I wait around for one from an AD it'll be summer 2025 by the time it lands Royal Oak Offshore Diver;+ = I love the AP br
