Newgate Watches feature clock designs found on European Railway Stations.

I’ve been a fan of Michael Portillo - the ex-politician-turned TV presenter since he presented a series of Great British Railway Journeys and Great Continental Railway Journeys (based on George Bradshaw's 1913 Continental Railway Guide) for the BBC in the last few years.  But the currently run new series Great American Railroad Journeys in which he uses a different guide book is compelling to watch, especially since it kicks off with New York City’s Grand Central, one of my favourite railway stations in the world due to its grand architecture and history.  
Not to be missed and still available to view for British audience on BBC iPlayer.

Meanwhile spotted at the Scoop International trade fair held at Saatchi Gallery in London earlier this week was a selection of elegant contemporary Newgate watches, which remind me of clocks that are usually found on European Railway Stations  



My favourite is The Drummer shown above although there is a bigger version called The Drummer Grand.

I like the Drummer for its smart, clean design, encased in a stainless steel cylinder, complemented with red lined black leather straps, baton and teardrop counter-balanced hands.  I love the Arabic dial in black with red inner 24-hour dial.   Can’t wait for warmer weather when I’ll be able to wear short sleeved tops so as to show off this new wardrobe addition of mine to greater effect.

Newgate are the same people who produce those classically-designed Newgate clocks in bold round designs  Based in Oswestry, Shropshire, the company was founded in 1991 and is owned by Jim and Chloe Read, Newgate launched a range a watches in 2015 and they have been favourites with fashionistas.
