TF Est.1968
TF Est. 1968 may already be seen adorning the cuffs of many a man's shirt. In
the world of fun accessories, its Tourbillon cufflinks are a witty nod to
the world of watchmaking. Hard-wearing and hugely accessible price-wise…
Men can be fashion victims too.
Symbolizing a certain subtle refinement in
modern man's dress codes, cufflinks emerged at the dawn of the 17th century.
They were an indication of social
rank and allowed gentlemen of that bygone age to out-rival one another in
their originality. To this day, they never fail to brighten up an austere
suit, attract admiring glances and celebrate an individual's difference.
Watchmaking
enthusiasts and elegant dandies can all rejoice! The Swiss brand TF Est.
1968 is inaugurating its arrival on the trendy-yet-accessible luxury markets
with a particularly attractive cufflink model called the "Tourbillon".
Encased
in a cage of steel sporting an array of carbon details, a watchmaking mechanism
in perfect working order accompanies every movement
of the wearer's wrist. Through what appears to be the transparent crystal
of a watch case, the eye is beckoned towards a voyeuristic display of technical
achievement. Design-wise, the lack of conventional stem accentuates the functional
aspect of the piece, preventing it from rotating on its own axis. A neat
and snappy precision spring clasp system holds the piece in place, anchoring
it firmly to the shirt.
The TF Est. 1968 unique pen, matching the cufflinks, mounts the “tourbillon” at a 45° angle on the top, making it easily visible when the pen is in your pocket. The pens, available in several finishes, are steel with palladium or gold plating for shine and color and select models feature a genuine carbon fiber top. The Tourbillon pens and cufflinks come with a two year guarantee.
