It's finally here, My Harold Pinchbeck Edward has arrived.
I was planning on visiting the workshop to pick this up, but work is too busy at the moment and I'm in London at the weekend supporting a friend running the London Marathon, so I wouldn't have been able to pick it for at least two weeks - and I couldn't wait that long!! So whilst at work yesterday my wife signed for a rather large special delivery packet.....
Apologies for the phone pictures, but the camera battery was flat and I couldn't wait to open it!
inside was a much smaller rather elegant box, additional ostrich strap and a hand written envelope.....
All looking very good so far..
enough teasing, heres the first snap shot of the watch..... Note it's set to the right time and date out of the box, nice touch
I've got to admit I love the simple elegant design of the watch, and the Tanner Bates leather strap matches the watch perfectly and looks amazing.
First impressions are excellent I am very very pleased with it, got it on today, will post a review and better pics in a couple of days.. quick wrist shot for you
It's arrived !!! My Harold Pinchbeck is finally here

That looks great, particularly the simple dial. I really like the packaging and presentation and would love to receive a watch in a slim and elegant case like that, rather than a big box. If HP were making mechanical watches I would probably spend a lot of time on their website planning a future purchase.

Very nice
Classic, simple design with a hint of difference, and eminently legible (if your eyesight is anything like mine)

They do make mechanical watches also, but theres not many to choose from, I would have prefered a mechanical one, but this was chosen mainly due to the name of the watch being the same as my son

Very nice classic design. Had not heard of this Brand before so off to their website.
Small collection of timepieces that I enjoy
Re: It's arrived !!! My Harold Pinchbeck is finally here
I'm glad you're pleased with it. I like the look of their watches, and I thought they were nice people to deal with when I met with them earlier this year. I was looking particularly at the (mechanical) George when I visited, and I may well take the plunge at some stage.

Simple elegance is good.
I like the packaging too.

Again, I like the packaging, it's amazing the difference a buckle makes
