The Camden Watch Company Special Edition GMT Watch Greenwich Edition

The Camden Watch Company No.27 GMT Greenwich Edition watch is a special edition only available in Greenwich. It boasts a rose gold case with a navy dial and tan leather strap. 

This watch features a Swiss movement, a sapphire crystal and a red '13' on the outer GMT track, a nod to the time ball on the roof of the Royal Observatory, which drops every day at 13:00, originally so that the vessels on the Thames could set their timepieces precisely to the correct time.

By the mid-1850s, almost all public clocks in Britain were set to Greenwich Mean Time and it finally became Britain’s legal standard time in 1880. It is the yearly average (or ‘mean’) of the time each day when the Sun crosses the Prime Meridian at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. In 1884 the Greenwich Meridian was recommended as the Prime Meridian of the World. GMT is still the legal time in Britain in the winter, used by the Met Office, Royal Navy and BBC World Service.

About The Camden Watch Company

Each of The Camden Watch Company models is inspired by Camden in London. The watches, No. 24, No. 27, No. 29, No. 88 and No. 253, are named after London bus routes that run through Camden Town, with the No. 24 being the oldest unchanged route in the whole of London.

The watches house the finest quality Japanese quartz movements, and every other element of the watch, from the strap, to the dial to the watch crown is designed, scribbled, sketched, reworked and refined in the company's Camden Town office.
