PERSOL 2015 FILM NOIR EDITIONS








One of our favorite release from Persol last year was their Film Noir Editions, a collection of frames inspired by the moody, classic mysteries that were popular in the '40s and '50s. The collection returns this year with some new styles and the return of their Phoenix Arrow. 


Used in the '50s, the Phoenix Arrow was a design detail inspired by mythical creature of the same name and adorns the temples of their latest Film Noir editions. Their latest style, the PO3112S, is a squarer frame with soft contours and a variety of acetate colorways and polarized lens options.

So you just left the dealer and came away with the vintage watch of your dreams, but the strap on the watch isn't quite right. Don't sweat it, Japanese leather goods brand Damasquina has a beautiful collection of leather NATO straps that are more than worthy of your special timepiece.


Their straps are made in Japan from a single piece of vegetable tanned leather with polished brass hardware that will look especially great on a classic gold watch. The 18mm straps come in four colors, but we're pretty taken with the navy and natural leather options highlighted above.
