British watchmaker Bamford London has collaborated with Billionaire Boys Club, the luxury streetwear label founded by pop polymath Pharrell Williams in 2005, for a new limited-edition take on its GMT timepiece.
The highly collectable BBC x Bamford London Rocket Automatic GMT is space-themed horology at its best, featuring a custom dial with moon surface detailing at its core. The hands of the new GMT feature the Billionaire Boys Club Classic Rocket, a signature motif of the brand, originally designed by the Japanese illustrator SK8THING in 2004.
The eye-popping accents continue with a red seconds hand and triangle on the bezel at 12 o’clock, while a unique engraving features on the case back of the watch.
The stainless steel forged design comes powered by a self-winding mechanism with a ball bearing and an internal rotating bezel and supplied in a special box made with Chenille fabric and velvet lining embroidered with the Billionaire Boys Club logo.
Limited to a mere 25 pieces, this ultra-rare delight is certainly one you’ll want to get your hands on and is sure to please both space enthusiasts and Pharrell stans alike.
