If you’re heading to the Black Rock Desert of Nevada this year, our LJXII Lugano Milanese 33mm in gold/ satin white will be your best companion.

To gin or not to gin? Silly question... Especially when it's a Friday, the sun's out and we're heading into a long Bank Holiday weekend. However, we don't need a reason to celebrate which is why we've decided to turn every Friday into a gin-day. So if you are thirsty, dreaming of a nice free drink, just pop by our flagship store on Monmouth St and have a glass of high quality gin! This time we've teamed up with the guys of Theodore Pictish Gin, a brand well-known for its elegantly aromatic Scottish gin. Powered by the spirit of the Picts, Theodore Gin represents a journey of curiosity, forging links between ancient legends and the world we live in today.

Tell us about your role at Larsson & Jennings. What do you enjoy most about your job? I work in our Covent garden boutique and I’ve been here for a year and a half and actually started at Christmas, a pretty intense & busy time! I’ve always worked in retail, but this is the first luxury brand. I really like the L&J design because it's clean and minimal, less is more. Not everybody like a Rolex... What does your typical week look like? I like to keep things chilled & when I'm not working you'll find me chilling with my friends & I'm also learning how to code!  What does traveling mean to you? I haven't actually traveled very much, but I have been to Amsterdam and really liked it there. I really liked the, umm, canals... Three words that best describe your personality?  Calm, Patient, Loyal.  Best film of all time? USUAL SUSPECTS - I like how mysterious it is, but I won't say anymore, no spoiler alerts here. What would be the title of your biography? WHAT’S NEXT? Your guilty pleasure? I'm a bit of a TV & Netflix kinda guy. Perhaps I watch too much TV but who's judging..? Your favourite L&J watch? My favourite watch has to be the LJXII Lugano in black black. It goes with everything and isn't too fussy or flashy, not that I would say any of our watches are really.

Back in March, we honoured Mother’s Day in the UK with our special feature on ‘The Modern Day Mom’. This Sunday the time has finally come for all you moms based out of the US, Australia and other EU countries to celebrate motherhood in 2019.As life and parenting isn’t getting any easier, parents seem to be increasingly aware of a need for calm, mindfulness and spirituality. And as mamas make the world go round, we thought we’d put together two packages of ideas featuring little gifts that will melt every mommy’s heart. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
