WATCHES WITH PANACHE Oh,
You Handsome Devil Throughout a gentleman's life there
are many objects
that
carry the label handmade. From multicolored scarves
knitted by overzealous aunts to bespoke suits from
trusted
Milanese tailors, handmade always adds a distinguishing
touch.
Take the handcrafted dials on European luxury watches:
Expert artisans painstakingly paint, engrave and
enamel the dials to extraordinary effect –
perfect for times when nothing less than handmade
will do.
