Personal Note
Farer offers incredible value for money on their watches brand new, so once they become pre-owned like this one, the value is even more attractive. This is the Farer Ponting GMT in 39mm and was actually one of the very first Farer I ever had my hands on and sold through KibbleWatches, I was instantly impressed by the value for money and the playful pops of colour, they were certainly ahead of the curve with that it seems. I would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection today!
The Brand
In 2015, Stuart Finlayson, Jono Holt, Ben Lewin, and Paul Sweetenham founded Farer, an independent British watch brand 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 named after British Royal Navy ships. Building on this success in 2019, they released two land speed record-themed watches and a collection of chronographs.
