The No.253 is a complex and intricate timepiece designed as a homage to the great advancements in engineering during the Victorian era. The dial itself is based on the wheel of a steam train, a beautiful and often overlooked piece of design.

This became the focus for designing the key feature of the dial, the raised index platform. Inspiration was taken from what is arguably one of the most overlooked yet beautiful elements on a steam train: the wheel.

Fielding & Nicholson share their top tips for finding a wedding suit

Trying to find an outfit for your wedding can be a stressful experience, so to help you find the perfect look, we spoke to Ian Fielding- Calcutt, the founder of Fielding & Nicholson, and asked for his dos and don'ts when it comes to men's tailoring. Opt for a lightweight linen or cotton suit in pastel colours like light blue, pale pink, or mint green. Pair it with a crisp white dress shirt and a colourful silk tie. Avoid dark, heavy fabrics and formal black suits and steer clear of heavy wool suits. Consider polished loafers, suede derbies, or a pair of smart leather brogues in light tan or brown shades. Remember, not wearing socks is a big faux pas for a formal wedding. Go for tonal socks and trousers that break on the shoe.
