Evening All! It’s a big one! The Almanac is here! Yes! it is done and ready to ship. Why is the Almanac a big deal? Because it is a deliberate move towards doing more that is analogue, displacing some of…

Evening all! Forgive the break, there was stuff that had to be done! That sounds intriguing and it is! In due course my friends… Let’s kick off the Pips with a pic from around the corner of Schofield’s Riverside store.…

Evening all. I’m back. I made it through. Wiser for sure. Let’s kick off with the FACT that Rob Nudds of Fratello Watch Magazine said that the B5 case back is the best case back in the history of watchmaking!…

Evening all. One Pip tonight as this Sunday I am 50, thus trying to pry myself from HQ and have different kinds of fun other than the Schofield sort. I have no idea what being 50 will be like, I am pretty…

1. Evening all. Watches that weather! Here we are, zoomed out, and better still the shop is currently harbouring the same again in Rare Things! You must come visit. B5s, B4s, B3s both pat and raw, gold and silver Treasure…

1. Evening all. Wow, look! Let me tell you about our new Japanese Beater B5! The Bronze B4 was only half the story. This new Japanese B5 is the light to the B4’s dark! The prettiest Schofield to date. A…

Evening all. New perforated watch straps Summer straps! A complete range! Perf suede in pretty summer colours. Purple Perf, Pink Perf, Off-white Perf and Green Perf. They are online now so please go see! We will get onto the shipping when…

Evening all! I’m starting with a tease, a terrible tease for something so beautiful you will weep when revealed. Raw Beater on Chinese Basket Weave. Honestly, with the last couple of years of strap types we have some world-class watch…

Evening all! Let’s begin with a little Laurie Lee. In my opinion, an apple is the only food one can be seen eating whilst walking the streets so as not to seem uncouth. The russet, crab and cottage red burn to the sun’s…

Evening all! Four days of non-stop website upgrades! Most of it utterly boring like styling the checkout and getting the buttons to look the same on all pages. The dross that has to be done! But what does it mean for you? Well,…

Evening all. Some new treasure this week! But only for the Buoys Club. I could not resist in showing you this, to tempt you over… I bought some vintage silk ties at auction, the likes of Dior, Liberty, Hermes and…

Evening All! I have been in deepest North Wales. The weight of the place is a power-up. So, time for a heavy poem. Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For…

Evening all! Well, what a show! Ireland was just the best as it always is and the show, the main reason for going, was brilliant. From an exhibitor’s point of view it was all class, so much talking I think…

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…
