CAMDEN X KPP CYCLING EDITION
£149 › Cycling-inspired timepiece
1 Capital style
Based in the heart of London, The Camden Watch Company designs and makes stylish yet a"ordable watches. As riding is a part of the brand’s culture, it has produced a cycling-inspired watch.
2 Quality components
Inside the classic copper case, itself inspired by the rivets of a Brooks saddle, is a high-grade Japanese quartz movement, which has been sealed against the elements – it’s rated to 50m – so you can happily ride in the rain with the Camden on your wrist.
3 Size is right
The 40mm diameter face is spot on – not overly large and slim enough at 7mm to easily sit under a shirt cu".
4 Design details
The design was produced with London cyclist and illustrator Kitty Pemberton-Platt, and it shows in the details. The crown is shaped like a gear sprocket, the inner second ring is detailed with wheel spokes and copper rivets, and the numbers on the typeface are inspired by classic race jersey numbers.
5 Choice of straps
It comes with two NATO-style, pass-through straps, one in a light tan bar tape-style leather with copper detailing and white stitching, and a second all-weather black nylon strap, with copper hardware, for more active days. The watch also comes with a limited-edition brass wheel lapel badge.
