Six Pips

The Daymark Dark on a rusty Millican strap. What a mysterious combo

The Telemark, on a Scruff Canvas strap. The strap is a regular length and the only one left. This watch and strap can be yours – email me and I can post it out next week, anywhere in the world free of charge (postage that is – not the watch).

Custom work is something we get asked about on a regular basis. What can be done and what cannot? Watch companies that can undertake custom work will have different constraints on what is possible and this is wholly dependent on what their suppliers are willing to do. Schofield has the ability to do custom case-back designs, hand colouring, case finishes, straps, boxes, paper work. Where we struggle is dials. Making a custom dial would carry a minimum order of 30 making most individual projects prohibitive. If you’re are a company – then perhaps that number is a goer. This watch is a Custom Marker with a unique hand set and bespoke case-back.

Let’s just get in to a quick summary. YouTube has had a makeover and more videos have been added, details in Pip 2 below. The pen is nearly through the pre-orders and soon it will go onto the website. If you are in the mood for a new pen then look no further. Email me and I am sure we can get one to you next week. Watches – like the Telemark featured below we have in stock, Beaters we do not but will have shortly; they tend to sell before stock can be accumulated. If you would like a Beater then again, email in 🙂 Instagram and other connecting (euphemism for marketing) has taken a dive because YouTube film making has occupied that space.

YouTube. New films. Take a look at the P-2 Part 2, it should be up and running. All about the shape of our new fountain pen. Part 3 will be about materials. I always felt that articulating Schofield on the web was a mosaic and the YouTube mosaic is coming together to form the big picture!

True citizen of style (as many of you are) Mr K emailed with troubles of fitting a new strap to his Beater. I had taken the old strap changing video down as it was painfully dated leaving no resource for Mr K to draw upon. Having got back from a run and in a state of dress totally unsuited to face customers I made a quick and dirty video explaining some hacks to make the job of an evening strap change easier. Now when it comes to video it is really hard to get it perfect, there are too many moving pieces for somebody who only likes it just so. Videos just don’t get made. Until now! Mr K taught me a lesson; stop worrying about 100%, settle for 80% but get it done! Yes I trip over my words repeating myself and generally miss out the important bits. But hey, there is now a strap changing video again! What’s more there are other videos too as YouTube has had a makeover. Just a few for this week and maybe more for next week.

The Buoys Club, a thriving metropolis of activity! I can’t keep up. I confess I pace around the office seeking treasure to put on. Tonight there is nothing new save the most wonderful strap offerings, the Zipp knife and of course the Mandy Barker photographic artwork. There are a few of these limited edition prints left and they are as relevant today as they were when we commissioned the art back in 2014. Simply email for more info.
