It was created in 2004, by George Bamford. He loved cars and watches from a very young age. He started his watch company because he realized there was a lack of personalization.<br \/>\nIn the search of exclusivity and individuality, the Bamford watch has progressively grown from Rolex, Mark II Speedmasters and Zenith customizations to official collaborations with Zenith, and Mr Porter, and they have also provided their own brand to the watch market.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The shift <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>George Bamford narrates how he questioned other watch brands, all in the quest of giving a personal touch to his brand.<br \/>\n\u201cHow many of these watch brands have been asked by clients, \u201cI want it in that green, can I have it in this, or that?\u201d and they\u2019ve always been told, \u201cno\u201d. Now they\u2019re not being told \u201cno\u201d any more.\u201d<br \/>\nBamford made it his business to give the customer exactly what he wants.
