A big part of Farer's allure lie in their ability to make watches that are modern and elegant and still playful. I can't think of another manufacturer that handles color and design detail as deftly. I have the Frobisher II and Stanhope II, with an assortment of straps. Both feel exceptionally well made, durable and accurate – excellent value for money. Two recommendations for the prospective Farer owner: first, consider buying multiple straps. Farer offers them in a range of hues and textures, with quick release bars that makes it easy to dress the watch up or down. And second, remember that these watches are limited production runs and can sell out quickly. If you see something you love, don't hesitate. I missed out on the Erebus and Resolute because I didn't jump.
