Old Charm, New Time:  Henry London Timepieces
So there is much truth to the fact that we live in a digital age.  While I relish in staying cyber and  technologically connected, there's a certain 'pencil in hand' side of me that thinks not everything tech-savvy is better.  I'm more of a purist when it comes to certain shiny new gadgets that are lit up and spit-shined to catch our fading by the minute attention spans.  So I choose to write my notes down rather than type them, would rather pick out my own fruit than Fresh Direct it than key it in and I'd rather wear a classic timepiece than an Apple watch.

The effect is quite suave and somewhat regal which makes each timepiece seem more personal, like it was labored and fawned over.  Actually it was, with notes like Milanese stainless steel mesh and supple soft leather bands that are fashioned in a palette of characteristic colors and heritage shades.  Henry London's collection is truly inspired by the city of its birth with each collection of mens and ladies timepieces being named after popular London tube stations like Highgate, Piccadilly, Westminster, Hammersmith and Pimlico.  The only hard part in my opinion is finding which Old World influenced charmer speaks to your new world inner gentleman.
