OUR TAKE
Farer's first collab, limited to 70 pieces, sold out in minutes. Built on the Resolute case — one of the best-wearing 39.5mm platforms under £1,500 — and designed with actual input from the Worn & Wound editorial team. Worn & Wound is one of the most respected independent watch publications going, and when they sit down to design a watch, they design one for people who read watch criticism for a living.
What sets it apart from the rest of Farer's lineup is that it dials everything back. No bright colours, no quirky accents. Just a slate grey sector dial in a gunmetal vapour-coated case — a deep, cool grey that reads cooler than steel and warmer than titanium. The navy Lumicast numerals, cyan seconds hand, and tiny orange Farer 'A' at the tip are the only hits of colour on the whole watch. That's it, that's the palette.
La Joux-Perret G101 inside — same stable as Arnold & Son — with 68 hours of power reserve. Real spec for the money, and a proper step up from the SW200 most microbrands reach for at this price.
70 pieces total. The next one of these to show up for sale might be a long wait.
