Introducing the RedBar x Bamford B347 LE

We are thrilled to introduce The RedBar x Bamford B347 Special Limited Edition.

The collaboration came about during a meeting between myself (RedBar CEO Kathleen McGivney) and Bamford Watch Department founder George Bamford in March 2022. I had stopped in London for a day on my way to Watches & Wonders and headed to the Bamford office to see the piece unique that they’d created for the WatchFam for Ukraine auction that I co-organized. We were chatting about all things watches when I said, “George, we should do a watch together.” He quickly agreed, and we set about designing the piece.

I quickly chose the forged carbon case and chronograph movement options, and then asked if the subdials could be done as “mystery” dials. A mystery dial is a complication that makes it look like the hands or indicators are floating above the dial with no visible connection to the center post. I’ve collected mystery dial watches for quite some time but had never seen this type of complication done on a subdial vs. a full dial. George quickly agreed, and the RedBar x Bamford B347 was born.

This limited edition B347 features a cutting edge forged carbon fiber case, single monopusher button at 2 o’clock, red and white accents throughout reflecting RedBar’s signature colorways, and a first-of-its-kind 30 minute counter mystery sub-dial at the 3 o’clock position.

The fourth limited edition watch collaboration for RedBar Group, the RedBar x Bamford B347 Special Limited Edition is the result of the passion of the watch collecting community and the unique people and friendships that have shaped it. Limited to 100 pieces.

The watch is available for purchase on the Bamford London website.

Every watch collaboration from RedBar has a charitable component, and for this release, we are supporting Maggie’s Centres in memory of our friend Simon Cudd and all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. We’ve donated £2,000 and encourage those who wish to support this essential charity to donate at our JustGiving page.
