What To Buy This Week: Vol. 18

After founding his eponymous brand in 1932, Reginald Murray Williams set out to produce hard-wearing footwear designed to withstand the rigours of the Australian outback. The ‘Craftsman’ boot represents all that he stood for back in the ‘30s, being that it’s made from a single piece of durable leather or suede, the sole is Goodyear-welted and it's constructed meticulously by hand ensuring it'll last for decades. Whilst originally designed for riding horses across great plains of open land, the signature chiselled-toe of these Chelsea boots mean they’ll pair well with tailoring in the city, such is their versatility. Furthermore, if this colourway isn't for you, R.M. Williams now offers a fully bespoke service in their new London store in Westfield White City, meaning the eternal quest for the perfect pair of boots is now over. £350.00, www.rmwilliams.com.

Amongst the wares on offer include a stunning grain leather backpack, two chevron woven polo shirts and a pair of sleek brown leather sneakers.  www.harrods.com.

Perhaps Tag Heuer’s most iconic model, the Carrera has a history rooted in motorsport, designed as it was with professional race car drivers in mind. Introduced in 1963, some of the most popular models came with ‘Panda’ dial configurations, with the sub-dials in contrasting shades to the main dial. It was only fitting then that Tag would once again revisit these pieces, which were particularly easy to read and operate by drivers whilst travelling at speed thanks to their uncluttered designs. Featuring a 41mm stainless steel case, the new Carrera Panda is powered by the ultra-reliable Calibre 17 movement and comes on either a perforated leather racing strap or a steel bracelet.  £4,000.00, www.tagheuer.co.uk.
