It's the little things, the details that come together to form a style. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - it is painful to see someone drop $20,000 on a watch, but pay absolutely no further attention to their appearance. When I worked at Tourneau in San Francisco, my first boss there - who is now the manager of the store in Bal Harbour - he had style. One watch - Rolex Submariner, subtly worn with a suit that actually fit correctly! So many guys pick out a suit like their picking out office supplies - they just don't care so long as it is not expensive - so they don't bother to tailor it - sleeves hanging down, looking like they borrowed it from their uncle to go to a forced Sunday morning appearance in church. By contrast, another fellow I worked with had quite a bit of money, owned at least 10 different recent Rolex models, but showed up to work as if he'd jumped from the shower to a dark closet to dress and came to work without looking in a mirror. He had probably 5 identical black suits that all fit in a wonderfully comic way - hanging off of him. Good salesman, but never had a date. Nice watches - but no style.
He could have used these!
This is the latest offering from TF Est. 1968 - a moonphase cufflink. Here are some of the details from TF Est. 1968 -
Moonphase Cufflinks
The particularly robust TF Est. 1968 cufflinks are air and water-tight and resistant to shocks and aggressions of all kinds. Other variations on the mechanical watchmaking theme are already taking shape as we write. And, as ever, the hallmark traits of the brand are present, a witty nod to today’s use of carbon fiber, luminous color pops and a super-affordable price tag.
Encased in a cage of steel, sporting an array of carbon details, a watchmaking mechanism in perfect working order accompanies every movement of the wearer’s wrist. Through what appears to be the transparent crystal of a watchcase, the eye is beckoned towards a voyeuristic display of technical achievement. Design-wise, the lack of conventional stem accentuates the functional aspect of the piece, preventing it from rotating about its own axis. A neat and snappy precision spring clasp holds the piece in place, anchoring it firmly to the shirt.
