Bamford London’s new
Mayfair Sport continues to
surf on its clients’ love of
the Bamford service watch.
Fashionably sporty, this new
iteration comes in an array
of brightly coloured designs
built around a steel core,
with options for dial
configuration, a rubber
strap, a unique wickerway
function and LumiNova
indices, all priced at £350.

Bremont was the official
watch and timing partner of
this year’s TT Race on the
Isle of Man, one of the last
great challenges in motor
sport, in which Peter
Hickman, credited with
being the fastest newcomer
ever, won the opening 
RST Superbike race.
Tudor is the official
timekeeper of the Rugby
World Cup 2019 in Japan.
This first Asian edition
kicks off on September 20 in
Tokyo, when the hosts take
on Russia; the final will be
contested on November 2.
