Taking place in Mayfair, this intriguing new style event will showcase Thom Sweeney’s high-end tailoring alongside covetable timepieces
On display include 25 rare watches for sale from leading horologists - Richard Mille, Grand Seiko, and Ludovic Ballouard, to name a few. The centrepiece of the exhibition takes the form of Philippe Dufour’s 'Simplicity', a true collector’s item with only a small number of pieces available in the capital.
Throughout the event, Thom Sweeney will be running on-site cutting rooms offering expert tailoring and bespoke cutting of various garments and patterns. “We cannot wait for the exhibition,” says co-founder Luke Sweeney. “Thom and I have collected watches for many years and have always felt that the mark of a man was excellent manners, a great suit and a beautiful watch.”
Well Suited will run from 15-21 of March at 30 Berkeley Square in Mayfair. For more details, please visit phillips.com or thomsweeney.co.uk.
