Inspired by a literary legend, Du Maurier Watches has created the Daphne Signature. This watch has been designed to embody the character and personality of one of the UK’s best loved authors, Daphne du Maurier. Designed by her grandson and the founder of Du Maurier Watches, Ned du Maurier Browning, the process of designing the watch has been an enlightening journey into his memories of the past: “The style and design of the watch really came together based on what I remember about Daphne, what she wore, her personality, her character and her inimitable style. To me this very much embodies her and I know she would have loved it.” The watch takes design notes from the 40s and 50s featuring a vintage style, antique-gold dial with gold index markers and elegant, lancette hands. The small second hand sits perfectly balanced on the curved dial, covered with domed sapphire glass and all enclosed in a neat 32mm gold case. The delicate onion crown and smart wire lugs contrast beautifully with the elegant, strap which completes the vintage feel.
