Black Bamford B80 with white accents and delicately raised hour markers, showcasing a burst of pink hearts on the dial. Bamford London is celebrating the annual jour d'amour with the release of two bespoke timepieces, designed in collaboration with The Dial Artist. The mythology of Saint Valentine's Day has evolved in the millennia since Valentine met his fate after getting on the wrong side of Emperor Claudius II. Twenty-first century Valentine's Day traditions are also pretty far removed from the goings-on during the mid-February pagan fertility festival of Lupercalia, which were decidedly NSFW. Nowadays we're all about the romance, and what is more symbolic of romance, than the heart? Description Inside the titanium case of each B80 model is a Swiss-made Sellita SW300-1 movement, complete with 25 jewels, 28,800 VpH, a 56-hour power reserve. Both classical and bold in presence, the B80 warmly extends a hand to collectors and novices alike through its emphasis on choice: a model to suit all.
