I think the scene is now set. Here we have A Signalman Bare Bones with a German Silver dial strapped to a grey //9h7b strap and brushed buckle, hmm let me think… Free Strap Kit and extra strap! Woo-Hoo!  

You won’t find this one on the website, we made so few. This is one of a pinch that remain – The Schofield Telemark X-Ray on black Quadrant strap and orange ceramic coated buckle. For the X-Ray the offer is…

The patinated Bronze Beater B3! Strapped here to a Clayton Leather with a brushed buckle, now this one we cannot ship right away, we would have to build it but as that’s all done in the UK it would not…

What about the Daymark? Here it is on a mustard OMI strap with a brushed buckle. Just for this watch and just until the end of the weekend – a bag of Toots Coffee, a spinning top, a whistle and,…

Evening all! Tonight I am focusing on the little things. Watches are always front and centre, Schofield is a watch company after all. There are so many moving parts to making watches that sometimes I need the pleasant distractions of…

The Zipp pocket knife! In orange, a colour I was forced to like against my better judgement and now I actually do! This little treasure is made in collaboration with master knife maker and teacher Filip De Cohen. It will…

My latest effort, the P-2. Actually I am being disingenuous to myself as frankly it is quite special; I just did not want to sound conceited. The early bird orders are being delivered over the next month, if you would…

STRAPS! I was indulging in a strap changing session. Following my CV convalescence, I have a wicked tan and felt I should go back to a white India Rubber. Let me suggest some summer straps you may not have; Vintage…

A really little thing but fit it to a yellow strap and you have something cracking. SCHOFIELD STRAPS

Finally the Drivers – a must have accessory for any strap connoisseur! The Strap Kit in Pip one can come with or without these or you can buy them on their own. SCHOFIELD DRIVERS

Evening all! Pleasant distractions tonight. Let’s start with the Daymark. Photographed by the great Jim Holden, Jim is helping out with some of the photos that I simply cannot do myself. This is what the Daymark actually looks like. What…

The Schofield P2 fountain pen –  here is the carbon fibre carry tube. The P2 does not come in a presentation box, instead I wanted something useful! A super light, slimline tube with colour coded ends. This way you can…

This is the badge in the barrel end of the pen – the booster. A simple design with a subtle nod to HAL. The pen was designed to have ‘forward momentum’ like a spaceship and so the little enamel badge…

Here we see the lot. The unusual red lacquered nib, the flutes milled into the barrel, the tube and end plugs.

Bronze Beater B3 – patinated case. On a Blue Moon strap.

Strap focus. Rust Millican! A classic from the Schofield & Cudd collection. We have some in stock and ready to go. The watch too 🙂

We are back! 20 days of isolation after my family and I are 99% sure we have had COVID-19. Of course we cannot be 100% sure until an antibody test. Suffice to say we are well. I have a friend…

I have been Instagramming when I can, using the header ‘Pleasant distractions’, let’s keep the PIPS that way. I have some orange friction folders for sale. I know they are expensive, but if you held it you would see why.…

The Pens are being made – naturally there has been a delay but nothing too major. Our machinist is a military and medical contractor so has been allowed to work, the other makers in the team are one man bands…

Pleasant distractions! The Telemark on //9h7b grey leather strap. It’s clean, bright and highly legible.
