Case: stainless steel Dial: 38 mm, Roman numerals and subsidiary seconds Movement: mechanical Strap: black Croco grain leather Signed ‘Robert Looms, Made in England’ ‘…one of the most popular graduation gifts for students living in Stamford, England, has been a mechanical watch. But not the kind made by Rolex, or Omega, or any other Swiss manufacture for that matter. No, teenagers have been taking their parents to the town’s local watchmaker, Robert Loomes, instead. The Robin (for men) and the Robina (for women) have been high on their most-wanted list since this Englishman started putting watches in shop windows back in 2011.’
