The Watch

Here we have an Unworn 2022 Bamford x Peanuts "Joe Preppy" GMT Hodinkee Limited to 250 pieces, a fun interpretation of the Peanuts character Snoopy dressed in disguise as “Joe Preppy” first seen in a newspaper comic strip in 1981. Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts introduced Snoopy in my guises including “Joe Cool”, he has continued to entertain generations through Charlie Brown, Snoopy and his comic strips. This collaboration started life as the Bamford London GMT and incorporates one of Hodinkee's favourite characters Snoopy, it was exclusively available in the Hodinkee shop, this was Hodinkee's first character watch. The 40.5mm satin-brushed stainless steel cushion case curves over your wrist with straight flat-ended lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 46.5mm and a case thickness of 12mm ensures a comfortable fit on your wrist, its slim profile is reminiscent of the military watches of the 1960s. On the right side a signed push/pull crown and at 10 o’clock a crown to adjust the internal bidirectional 24-hour bezel. A brushed and polished smooth bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal AR coated above a matte dark brown dial, the bidirectional 24-hour inner bezel has a distinct slope and the numerals are split into 12 hours in black and white differentiating daytime and nighttime hours surrounding a minute track with baton indexes coated in SuperLumiNova X1 GL C1 marking the hours, at 3 o’clock a framed date window, the dapper dressed Snoopy in his tweed check patterned blazer and round spectacles sits in the centre, his outstretched paws are the watches hands whilst his faithful companion Woody sits perched at the end of the GMT hand, at 6 o’clock we have the Bamford motif with “Automatic GMT” printed underneath completing this fun collaboration between Bamfords and Hodinkee. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the number out of 250 and Hodinkee engraved into it, inside an automatic Sellita SW330-2, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, the movement has hand winding, hacking seconds and a quick-set date for your convenience. The GMT hand is adjusted by turning the crown clockwise in position 2. The watch comes fitted with a brown 20mm Cordura strap with white stitching and a signed Bamford buckle and the watch comes with a brown fabric presentation box in the form of the iconic Snoopy doghouse with the Hodinkee logo on its side and paperwork.


Personal Note

In the ever-so-serious world of watches, this feels like a playful departure from the madness. I am personally a fan, I believe watches like this appeal to watch nerds mainly due to the playfulness, when you have a collection of watches they often look very similar, even if they are different functions, colours, metals et... However, put this watch in the line-up it will quickly stand out and that will either be for you or it won't.


The Brand

The Bamford Watch Company was founded by George Bamford in 2016, based in Mayfair London. They are famous for personalising and customising watches which all began when George had his Rolex Datejust DLC coated which was seen by many while in France and he returned with 25 people wanting the same process done to their watches, hence Bamford Watch Company was created. In 2017  Jean Claude Biver who was head of LVMH at the time saw the potential of offering their Bvlgari, Zenith and TAG Heuer customers this distinctive customisation without voiding any warranty and Bamford became their official customiser. Since then many brands have seen the same potential and successful collaborations have resulted. Due to this success, Bamford now offers its own line of watches including the Mayfair and GMT models including Limited Editions.
