The Imperial's vintage hand-engraved movement

A close-up showing the hand-engraved gold balance and escape cocks of the Engraved Edition (comprising a mere 39 pieces worldwide, never to be made again) of the Imperial First Series, done without a high magnification computer but rather with a vintage microscope from 1962.

These special watches are a symbol of a new chapter in Chinese horological history, which stretches back all the way to 1094 AD when Song dynasty China completed the world's first clock, and have already become irreplaceable collector's items.

Our iconic WBill Glenplaid Linen


A close-up shot of our iconic Glenplaid Linen which we first designed and commissioned as a bespoke fabric in 2012.

We are now incorporating this suiting/jacketing linen as part of our house-exclusive offering, for Maison BCHH.


This linen will be perfect for our BCHH Riviera and Cabriolet jackets (more details on the latter this weekend).


More patterned linens are soon to follow...
