When it comes to setting the standard for British elegance, does anyone do it better than Farer? The London-based watchmaker, whose timepieces are produced in Switzerland, recently launched their latest in the Cushion Case collection: The Durham Pullman. Evoking a bygone era, this latest from Farer takes inspiration from the Pullman Company, manufacturer of train cars throughout the United Kingdom. With this, the mixture of greens and silver balances a bit of sophistication with everyday wear.
The dial is the real selling point of this watch, so we’ll talk about that first. The dial boasts a luxurious dark green hue with a metallic brushed finish, lending it a dynamic tone under varying lights. Atop this base, a raised ring with a radial brushed finish creates the distinctive sector dial effect of the Cushion Case collection. Resting on this ring are highly polished silver markers— a blend of batons and Roman numerals—accompanied by a refined dauphine handset. Complementing these silver elements is the seconds sub-dial, featuring a sunken silver channel with an engine-turned finish. These meticulous details converge to establish the seasonal release of the Durham Pullman as an exceptionally refined timepiece suitable for both formal occasions and weekend outings alike.
As part of the Cushion Collection, the Durham Pullman is bound to have presence when worn due to its shape and easy-to-style size that complements a variety of wearers. Sitting at 38.5 mm with a 43.8mm lug to lug measurement, it’s perfectly sized for both men and women. The watch is available with a leather strap or a bracelet for an additional $170.
The watch is powered by the Elaboré-grade version of the Sellita SW216-1 movement, promising a 45-hour power reserve. The manually wound calibre is showcased through the sapphire caseback, which features decorative touches including blued screws and a custom Farer logo pattern engraved across the bridge.
The Farer Durham Pullman is available now via Farer’s website with a price tag starting at $995. Farer
