The Watch
In 2011 at Salon QP in London Giles Ellis introduced the world to his Schofield brand. Based just north of Brighton in Sussex on the south coast of the UK. He is part of the British watchmaking revival. The Signalman DLC is limited to 100 pieces. Inspired by the 18th and 19th-century Lighthouses found around the UK coastline. It has a 44mm stainless steel case coated in black DLC with its shape based on the powerful lights used in a Lighthouse. The case has a 4 part patented construction of stainless steel which explains its 15.5mm thickness on the outside and a 2 part anti-magnetic movement shell. The crown has 2 gaskets once locked down that gives the watch 500m water resistance. The double domed sapphire crystal sits just under the lip of the bezel and it has AR Coating for better viewing. The black dial is made of brass and coated in copper oxide to give it the black it is multi-leveled with the applied numerals and indexes on the top level while the power reserve indicator and GMT Subdial, a date window at 3 o’clock is recessed on the lower level. The pusher for the GMT is unusually built into and through the lug assembly to activate it you use the special tool included in the box. Its diamond-polished hands are held by tiny pins and filled with Superluminova. On the back a screw-down case back with a Lighthouse engraving radiating light. Inside an Automatic Swiss Soprod Cal. 9335 based on the Soprod Alternance 10 Calibre (A10) movement with the 9335 module placed on top to handle the Power Reserve and the GMT complications. 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per Hour. The watch comes fitted on a Schofield calfskin strap with a signed buckle.
Personal Note
We are a big fan of Schofield watches here and we have had multiple, all of which have sold fairly quickly for a smaller brand, Schofield really has created a well-respected brand with a large core following. The more British brands that grow in popularity the better!
