This spring the original British sailing brand Henri Lloyd will be stocking Elliot Brown's special edition Clipper watch in six stores around the country.
As the Official Timekeeper for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, Elliot Brown launched the special edition Canford 202-015 and from the end of March Henri Lloyd customers will be able to purchase one of these beautifully crafted watches.
When asked "Why Elliot Brown?" Henri Lloyd's Commercial Director, Graham Allen, replied: "Henri Lloyd and Elliot Brown met as co-sponsors of the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race. The incredibly tough nature of Elliot Brown's watches, combined with their ethos of making performance products that can be worn every day, fits perfectly with ours and we're excited to be working with this British watch brand."
Ian Elliot of Elliot Brown further comments: "Being presented with the opportunity to be the Official Timekeeper for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race opened many doors for Elliot Brown, including this fantastic partnership with Henri Lloyd. There's great synergy between our brands – two British companies that push the boundaries of style and technical innovation and strive to design and produce quality premium products that are tough enough to cope with harsh conditions, such as the 40,000 nautical mile, 11 month-long Clipper Race."
The Canford 202-015 (£395) will be showcased within a special display in Henri Lloyd shops based in Cowes, Lymington, Salcombe, Dartmouth, Falmouth and Truro. The watch itself sports a shock-protected Swiss movement, effective resistance to water and dust courtesy of a unique triple sealing system and uncommonly 'every' model is tested in water to 200m. Each watch comes with a premium leather black deployant strap, as well as a black canvas deployant with contrasting red stitching - all stunningly packaged in a box with two screwdrivers (for strap changing) and a numbered commemorative insert. The special edition case back is beautifully engraved and numbered with 'crew edition' and Clipper Race detailing.
