A New Chapter: Becoming a Brand Ambassador for Elliot Brown Watches
I have some rather exciting news to share!
I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that I've become a brand ambassador for Elliot Brown Watches, a British watch brand that I've admired for its distinctive design, robust engineering and adventurous spirit.
For anyone who has followed my journey as a horological artist, you'll know that watches have become a huge part of my world. What started as a childhood fascination with mechanical things has grown into a career that allows me to combine my love of art, design and horology. To now be working more closely with a brand that shares so many of these interests feels incredibly special.
A Brand with Adventure at Its Heart
One of the things I love most about Elliot Brown is that its watches don't try to be something they're not. They're purpose-built, thoughtfully designed and made to be worn. There's a real honesty to their approach, which I find hugely appealing as an artist.
I'm also a big lover of the outdoors and adventure. While life as a mum of three means my days are often spent in my rural studio rather than trekking through the wilderness, I still have that adventurous streak. Wearing an Elliot Brown watch is a little reminder of those childhood adventures with my family and the desire to get out there and explore.
And let's be honest, there's something rather satisfying about wearing a watch that feels like it could handle just about anything!
I've always been drawn to larger watches, too. I'm not particularly interested in following conventions, so the 43mm Black Whiteout is right up my street. It's perhaps an unexpected choice for a petite female artist, but that's precisely why I love it.
From the Wrist to the Drawing Board
Of course, my relationship with Elliot Brown goes beyond simply wearing their watches.
I'm currently working on a graphite drawing of one of their timepieces, and it's been an absolute dream to draw. As someone who spends hours studying the smallest details of a watch, I really appreciate the clean, considered lines and the honest interpretation of its design.
My work is all about capturing the character of a watch through graphite. I love exploring the interplay of light and shadow, the textures of different materials and the intricate details that make each timepiece unique.
There's something fascinating about translating a three-dimensional object into a two-dimensional artwork. Every curve, reflection and tiny detail has to be carefully observed and recreated. It's a slow process, but one I find incredibly rewarding.
Working with Elliot Brown has given me another opportunity to explore these details, and I can't wait to share more of the drawing as it develops.
A New Adventure in the Watch World
The watch industry has been such an interesting world to find myself in. From working with independent watchmakers and collectors to exhibiting my artwork at events, I've had the opportunity to meet some incredibly talented and passionate people.
Becoming an ambassador for Elliot Brown feels like a natural extension of that journey. It's an opportunity to celebrate British watchmaking, share my enthusiasm for horology and hopefully encourage more people to look at watches through an artistic lens.
I'm particularly excited about the opportunity to be involved in the wider watch community and to bring a slightly different perspective to the conversation. As a woman working in an industry that has traditionally been male-dominated, it's wonderful to see the community becoming more diverse and inclusive.
And, of course, I'm looking forward to a few more adventures along the way!
Thank You, Elliot Brown
I'm incredibly grateful to the team at Elliot Brown for welcoming me into their ambassador family. It's always a privilege to work with brands that genuinely appreciate craftsmanship, creativity and the stories behind the objects we love.
I'm excited to see where this partnership takes us, and I hope you'll follow along as I continue to explore the world of watches through my artwork.
