What fits in 40

Short is what lasts.

Forty characters is a date, two names, a place, or one line you both know. Counted so you can see the room you have.

Wood is the traditional fifth-anniversary gift, and an engraved watch is one of the few that gets worn rather than kept in a drawer.

How it works

Three steps, one of them ours.

01
Pick your watch. Every watch in the men's and women's range can be engraved on the back.
02
Add your message. Tick the engraving box on the watch page and type it in. Up to 40 characters, £25.
03
We engrave it in London. Your watch is engraved, then sent in its wooden gift box with free UK shipping.

Start with the watch.

The engraving box is under the buy button on every watch page.
