Most watchmakers are no strangers to delving into their archives to find inspiration for new timepieces, and as the latest wave of releases prove, the trend for reviving past models is as strong as ever. The demand is not only driven by those wishing to channel sophisticated vintage style, but by ardent collectors who have the chance of owning a watch incorporating some of the most sought-after design features.

Harrods has tapped into this with an ambitious new project taking place in its Fine Watch Room this summer. From 30 June to 24 July, both the department and the Brompton Road windows will be taken over by its Re-Editions initiative, in which it has invited 12 of horology's most respected brands to create a limited or exclusive heritage-inspired piece.
