Light — The Light One
$2,190
After 15 years making only one case, Sussex independent Giles Ellis started from scratch: The Light is a 40mm steel field watch housing the Seiko NH34A GMT (24-hour hand, 200m WR, boxed sapphire crystal) in a freshly designed 13.5mm-slim case. The Light One's pale-grey dial and brushed finishing are among the cleanest British watches at this price. Limited to 150 pieces.
About Schofield Watch Company
Founded by Giles Ellis and launched in 2011 at the Saatchi Gallery with the debut Signalman, Schofield treats watchmaking as a complete design exercise, obsessing over every visible and invisible component rather than chasing mass appeal. Cases are predominantly British-made by the same Sussex precision shop the brand has used for over a decade, paired with proven Swiss and Japanese movements, in-house finishing, and assembly in the UK. Operating from its Riverside Store, described as somewhere between a dressmaker's boutique and a cabinet of curiosities, the brand is celebrated in the microbrand world for unmistakable design language, deep storytelling (lighthouses, ufology, British landscape), and a willful indifference to industry trends.
