Evening all! A quick Crash of the Pips as we are in Ireland prepping for tomorrow’s watch show in Waterford. We are proudly showing off the Treasure Watch and Strange Lights, maybe a paper dialled, blu-tac movement prototype, that we will make real later in the year! General…
Evening all! First things first. Schofield will be in Ireland showing watches at the Waterford Museum of Time from Friday to Sunday. The Festival Of Time is hosting a number of independents from all over, including Bernhard Lederer, Vianney Halter, Andreas Strehler,…
Evening all! I came across an old Pip about Hikaru Dorodango, the Japanese art of moulding a mud ball into a perfect sphere by hand. I bring it up again here 7 years on because perhaps it is more pertinent than…
Evening all! Happy New Year to you! Oh my gosh, what a year that was! Still, we take a deep breath and crack on. With all the enthusiasm in the world I see 2022 as particularly exciting, I am so keen to…
Do you remember this book? Masquerade by Kit Williams. Another truly incredible story which you can read about here… I had this book growing up and thought it was magical. I think somebody should choose Masquerade Treasure for their…
Evening all! Schofield has been closed with flu! Like actual real flu, so no ‘you’ve got a cold then’ because I am devoid of a sense of humour which proves it is flu! Anyway, the Pips must be Pipped! So…
Evening all. A proper write-up in Fratello – Mr N is a good writer – a line like “There is a genuineness and earnestness to everything Giles Ellis designs. “ makes me walk a little taller. Read the whole piece…
Evening all. We are in the thick of it now! You did see the Treasure Watch right? Here it is again. Gold or Silver. You can choose the hoard (or we can) that gets engraved on the case back. Only 29 watches…
Evening all. Well, we just had a proper good show! WatchPro Salon was, we hope, the start of a new era of luxury events. I have to say our stand looked pretty cool 😉 But the main event was… Read on!…
Evening all! It is show season and it looks like SWC is doing a small shindig in December as well as the others, more on that later, but the thing of great importance here is the fact that anyone attending…
Evening all! A traditional news type Pips tonight. Spontaneously we are exhibiting at the end of this month at the Sofitel Hotel, Heathrow Terminal 5! It is an event called World Time UK. You don’t need tickets, just rock up…
Evening all. Check this out. It is a close up of the Small Wall Clock dial. They have arrived, which is amazing! Many of you know that our dial makers are a blessing and a curse, the quality is as…
Evening all! Well, I think we should raise a glass to Schofield! There are 4 Beater B4s left, it has been busy and such a successful watch demands a celebration! Toot! Toot! Hoorah! 2. If you have had Schofield FOMO…
Evening all. Improvement by Edgar Albert Guest. The joy of life is living it, or so it seems to me; In finding shackles on your wrists, then struggling till you’re free; In seeing wrongs and righting them, in dreaming splendid…
Evening all! A new watch launch brings new subscribers to the Pips, and I, and I’m sure the previously subscribed will join me in wanting to start by saying “welcome”. Some would say you have opened a can of worms!…
Golly gosh what’s this? The new Japanese edition Bronze Beater B4! Limited to 29! Let’s cut to the chase… 2. The Japanese aesthetic has inspired Schofield’s designs from the beginning. Simple, crafted, understated, showing more by showing less, still. What better…
Evening all! Next week we are launching a new Beater! Here is an obscure but relevant clue! I have been sitting on it for too long waiting for the perfect moment, getting so frustrated that last year, the lost year,…
Evening all! Lets’ talk about of money! A subject I avoid for the most part, so I will keep it brief. From the very beginning we have tried to make it as painless as possible for you to pay for…
Evening all, what a lovely week. The shop had visitors, we chatted and drank coffee, the sun shone, and in the quiet times I arranged, hoovered and washed up, you know, just keeping shop. In actual fact I did a…
Evening all! A single half term Pip tonight. Please indulge me; you know how I like paper, paper things, fonts, typesetting, layout and general awesomeness? Well these notebooks have untreated covers, no plastic 🙂 They are made in the UK,…
