It’s not all about the bride on her wedding day; grooms have to have their personal touches on their special day too. And just as the bride might want the perfect bracelet, headpiece or set of earrings, the groom may want to don the perfect vintage watch.

Ansley Watch Co.

The Ansley Watch Company was founded in the summer of 2012 by an Irish entrepreneur and Swedish fashion designer who shared their love and appreciation of vintage watches over several glasses of single malt whiskey.

Together, they created a watch brand with the care and precision from years gone by and designed with inspiration from World War II military and sailors from the 60s.

These beautiful watches are made of the finest quality stainless steel and sapphire glass. Add to that the Swiss and Japanese Quartz and you’ve got the perfect combination for vintage watches.

The collection consists of a 36mm military watch and a 38mm sailor watch in both oyster and rose gold. There are several different leather and grain straps as well as nylon straps in muted army colours and sailor stripes.

The watches would make a perfect finishing touch to any groom’s ensemble but they are also unisex, and have been donned by women as well as men, including Amy Huberman and Katherine Thomas.
