Either way, the Bamford Watch Department offers Rolex Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre XTA322 watches buyers the chance to design and own truly unique Rolexes, and we'd never say we don't fully support that. Check out the new online Bamford Watch Department here.As you know, we were in Geneva last week. We met with some really interesting brands while there, some you may be familiar with, some you may not. One brand we've mentioned many times before and one we have a lot of love for is Linde Werdelin. We were lucky enough to sit down with co-founder and Creative Director of Linde Werdelin, Morten Linde. Morten is, after all, the man who Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre XTA322 watches designed the Linde Werdelin fleet, including the epic SpidoLite SA. In the video below, you can hear Morten explain the brand new SpidoLite SA in Rose Gold as well as his inspiration for the line, and what he likes so much about it. We can't imagine a better way to experience the new SpidoLite than with the man who conceived it. Enjoy.We have many more videos from Geneva to release too, including some truly incredible, one of a kind pieces that we can promise you've never seen before. Be on the lookout right here on Hodinkee!
You may recognize the name Bamford & Sons, they do some pretty high quality production for limited edition luxury items, ranging from mobile phones, to iPods, to their now famous PVD Rolex Daytona. Well they have Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre XTA322 watches raised the bar on limited edition, giving users the ability to create true one-of-a-kind Rolexes. They have launched the Bamford Watch Department. This portal gives well-heeled shoppers the ability to fully customize a variety of Rolex Sports watches to their own impressively detailed wishes. The customizable options includebracelet, indices, dial, date, date wheel, text (both color and ability to put up to 8 characters on the face itself), and even engraving on the back. Currently, only the Submariner is available for customization but the GMT, Daytona, Yacht-Master, Milgauss, and yes even the Explorer II are to be added soon. As is the tradition with Bamford & Sons, and just about any other Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre XTA322 watches custom luxury shop, you will be paying a significant premium to have your Rolex customized. We're talking approximately a 180% premium. A customized Submariner will run you around 7,000GBP, or roughly $14,000. Last we checked, the MSRP on a standard Sub was around $5,000. That is a huge premium to pay, no matter how cool your Rolex looks.
