The hands on the dial inside our ‘Duke’ and ‘Slim Sir’ are actually set to the time our jeweller completes the last touches to the ring, as a ‘hidden timestamp’.
What is a sentimental time you’d set inside?
As our very first mechanical ring design,
‘Slim Sir’ has stood the test of time.

I wanted to share another piece from the personal collection this Anzac Day. This is a Benrus MIL-W-46374, the original 'field watch'. Issued to Australian forces during the Vietnam War, very few of these survived as this was the first wave of 'disposable' wristwatches made with a distinctive green plastic case.
Yes, these were meant to be thrown out once they stopped working!
'A' is stamped right in the centre to mark Australia. Thinking of the Aussie soldier who wore this during conflict.
If you have any family stories, please share them with me!
Lest We Forget.
Now here's a toughie - Can you identify this gemstone?
Those that guess the correct answer get a 15% off next non-custom/gold order!
Hint: A true rarity, and it is Australian.
