Seventeenth century English poet Richard Brathwait penned many books of dubious quality, but one in particular — “The English Gentleman” (1631) — has gained special notoriety. The book (which separates the male species into two groups: Men and Gentlemen) and its author has served as substantial inspiration for Brathwait, new-ish makers of fine and affordable watches.
Additionally, for each Rose Gold Automatic Minimalist wristwatch sold, Brathwait donates a days’ work of wages to the Sherpas of the Himalayas, working with Medical Aid Mountaineering (MAM) to provide mountain trekkers with medical kits to give locals as they pass through the isolated villages of the Himalayas.
So, by owning a Brathwait watch, you not only prove yourself a stylish man, but one who lends a helping hand. Now that’s a “Gentleman.”
