    Christmas shopping;For the Urban Explorer: Vintage Rolex



    Buying a watch as a present does not always show too much creativity, but this Rolex Explorer is something different. As an example from the late 1960s, the classic ‘action watch’ is for the man or woman who appreciates both the model’s understated styling and its performance in extreme conditions. 

    Justin Jay of the Watch Club in The Royal Arcade, Old Bond Street enthuses about the watch: “What really makes this vintage Explorer is its perfectly aged dial with the famous ‘exclamation mark’ running from 12 to six o’clock.”

    The London Christmas Gift Guide;For the Retromobilist: Vintage McQueen-style Rexton Jacket



    The Barbour Heritage store just off London’s Carnaby Street stocks the famous British manufacturer’s most stylish lines. 

    None more so than the Rexton Jacket from the The Steve McQueen™ Collection. And buyers will not need to wear it in a long-distance motorcycle enduro to get that fashionably 'worn' look – each jacket comes already distressed, ‘run in’ and ready for action.
