Edward is a master of reductive storytelling: creating complex narratives with a few simple lines that make an increasing amount of sense the more you stare at them.
While he readily cites psychedelic music and the work of avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky as strong influences, it’s his desire to create work that doesn't draw on visual references or pander to stylistic trends, that makes him such an exciting talent.
Edward has designed several watches for us, all were limited edition and have now sold out. These include: Chaos Window, Last Bloom, Vanishing Point, Edwards World and Psychedelic Sunsets.

Watch Edward talking through his inspiration for the Last Bloom and Vanishing point in the video below.
Clifford Richards
Clifford Richards studied book illustration at the South East Essex School of Art in the early 1960s and found his way into advertising.
That was when he began to develop his paper products – a collection of flat-packed, self-assembled cardboard gift boxes which was soon followed with a range of slot-together animals (‘Slottizoo’) and politicians (Slottiwhozoo).
These products were quite unlike anything around at the time and perfectly captured the mood of ‘Swinging London’ in the sixties with its Pop-Art influences.
Encouraged by the commercial success of his products he left advertising to set up his own graphic design business, which also enabled him to develop products for companies like Paperchase and Bloomingdales, as well as his own design projects.
Throughout his long and varied career he has continued to develop ideas along with design consultancy and today concentrates on product development along with his own graphic projects.
Clifford designed Timewise for us, which is now part of our permanent collection, watch him talk about his inspiration for the design in the video below.

Anthony Burrill
"Graphic artist, print-maker and designer Anthony Burrill is known for his persuasive, up-beat style of communication. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, New York and has been exhibited in galleries around the world including the Barbican Art Gallery, the Walker Art Center and the Design Museum, London.
Words and language are an important part of Burrill’s output and he has developed a distinctive voice that is sought after not only by collectors of his posters and prints but also by clients including Apple, Google, Hermés, the British Council, London Underground and the Design Museum. Burrill is perhaps best known for his typographic, text-based compositions, including the now-famous “Work Hard and Be Nice to People”, which has become a mantra for the design community and beyond.
Burrill was born in Littleborough, Lancashire. After studying Graphic Design at Leeds Polytechnic he completed an MA in Graphic Design at the Royal College of Art, London. He now lives and works on the Isle of Oxney, Kent."

Adrian Willard

Adrian Willard is a popular, traditional tattoo artist from the seaside city of Brighton, UK.
Adrian designed the popular Last Laugh Tattoo watch and the limited edition Laugh now cry later (now sold out).

He talks about his inspiration for the tattoo design: “the design comes from the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. The festival focuses on gathering to remember friends and family who have died.
Many gifts and offerings are handed out including sugar skulls that are given to both the living and the dead.
It has become a very popular image in the tattoo world over the years and has replaced the regular skull in the mainstream tattoo trends”.
