Personal Note
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Farer is a fantastic value brand new, so when they become pre-owned they are stupendous value for money! If you've been considering trying out a Farer for a while now, this is your chance to save some money and get a very great example with both the bracelet and the blue leather strap, but also one that is limited to just 50 total in the first place!
The Brand
In 2015, Farer, an independent British watch brand, was founded by Stuart Finlayson, Jono Holt, Ben Lewin, and Paul Sweetenham. Operating out of Ascot, Berkshire, in the UK. All of them had a passion for watches, and their first creations were nine quartz watches. In 2016, they launched three automatic watches, naming them after British Royal Navy ships. Building on this success, in 2019, they released two land speed record-themed watches and a collection of chronographs.
