'Vintage Heuer' Collaboration with Bamford

The Vintageheuer/Bamford Monaco
By Jonathan Scatchard on 16/02/18 in: Latest News, News

Following meeting George Bamford in 2000 when I had my original collection including lots of “new old stock”, we have continued discussing watches we love over the years. I was delighted when his company, Bamford Watch Department, became the official customisation house for LVMH brands Zenith, BVLGARI and TAG Heuer last year.

The TAG Heuer Monaco “The Dark Lord” has always eluded me and indeed over the years, I have twice missed out on owning one of these beautiful rare watches. Recently George suggested that we should come up with a design which was special to me with all that is vintage and could also add the “twist” that Bamford Watch Department is infamous for.

It seemed like the perfect opportunity and with BWD’s expertise, the Monaco proved to be a perfect watch to work on. We changed the red to orange as black and orange has always been my favourite colour combination. George and his team added the perfect twist by adding chequered flag elements which feature on the hard to find original boxes.

This one off piece is available for £8,500.

What do you think of it Hubert

Agree that when you play around trying to reply I the PVD Monaco it doesn’t really look right..I think it’s the thin long hour markers that really set this model apart.
