ON THE RADAR

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Step forward MVMT watches. This online company has been catching my eye of late with its simple, stylish and affordable timepieces – like this

offering.

Priced at £125, it’s a great every day option and comes with a choice of straps. Get it at mvmtwatches.com

The German 3D printing pioneers are offering a service that lets you create your own tailored sunnies (utilising a 3D headscan on your iPad).

Once your measurements have been taken, the company works with selected opticians to put them together and deliver them within 15 working days. We particularly like their Atum range, pictured below. But be warned, made-to-measure shades don’t come cheap, they’re priced £327.
