Phillips Perpetual X The Armoury
Proceeds from the Sale of The Armoury’s City Hunter 2 Jacket to Support the WHO COVID-Solidarity Response Fund
James Marks, International Specialist and Director, Watches, said, “We are delighted to launch our first exclusive limited edition Phillips Perpetual accessory to benefit the WHO Covid-Solidarity Response Fund that is providing critical response efforts in countries most effected by the pandemic and in particular accelerating efforts to develop vaccines and tests. It was a privilege to work alongside The Armoury team and Mark Cho to produce a jacket with a horological twist that I am sure the broader watch community will enjoy for many years to come. I would like to thank everyone who supports this project for such a deserving cause.”
To create the jacket, The Armoury took inspiration from both old English and Spanish Teba hunting jacket styles, partnering with a Japanese mill that specialises in knitted jersey fabric, adding a degree of natural stretch to the jacket. The jacket is comprised of 100% wool and incorporates an exclusive design with contrast cream stitching on a grey on dark grey hounds tooth. Major seams, such as the shoulder, were joined using a technique called a TPS seam, joining them edge-to-edge without any additional thickness, creating a “seamless” look. Because of the natural give of the jersey knit fabric and the modern garment construction, the City Hunter 2 makes for the perfect comfortable, casual jacket.
