One of the main and always fashionable types of premium gifts is things made in the style of antiques. Giving a thing inspired by a completely different era is a special chic, and such things are accepted as a gift in a completely different way. Each retro-style item has its own history and its own atmosphere, which the owner of this item will be able to imbue. Moreover, the history of the Ross London brand, which brings us stunning vintage things, is in itself a jump in a time machine to a previous era.
It all started in 1830, when Andrew Ross founded the company and gave it his last name. From 1840 until his death in 1858, he mainly dealt with camera lenses and binoculars and even built his own factory for this in London. This period was also marked, in modern terms, by collaboration with the famous Carl Zeiss and his company of the same name. Andrew Ross's business passed into the hands of his son, under whom it continued to develop and expand.
In the 20th century, the brand went through a series of mergers with other companies, and in 1961 it finally refocused on selling chic retro gifts. Several options of which we will consider in this article. Please note that by clicking on this link, you will be able to access Ross London's luxurious products, which are presented in our online store Fama.
Vintage Gifts
1. Pocket watch "Victoria London 1875".
Let's start with a watch whose design was inspired by the time when the Ross London brand itself appeared. We are talking about the famous Victorian era. In honor of the queen who ruled at that time, the watch got its name. This is evidenced by the inscription and the sign of the British crown on the front, as well as the profile of the ruler and the signature "Victorian Pocket Watch" on the back. Another characteristic feature of that era is that this watch is exactly a pocket watch. It does not have a strap to wear on the hand, because it was not accepted then. An elegant gift for all lovers and connoisseurs of vintage things.
2. Black binoculars.
And this retro-style thing reminds us of the roots of the Ross London brand, when they achieved their first successes as manufacturers of lenses for cameras and binoculars. The restrained style and design of this optical device perfectly reflect that time. And binoculars themselves are a real dream of most boys, and it doesn't matter how old they are. With this jewel in your hands, you can imagine yourself as a brave traveler, a seafaring explorer, a desperate pirate or a curious naturalist. In general, you already understand who this truly elite gift is intended for.
3. Hourglass "Chess Time".
A unique gift that combines not just history, but a real epic. Chess, the theme of this watch's design, is a game that is more than one and a half millennia old, and the creation of the hourglass in general occurred at about the same time as the invention of the wheel. Together with the retro style of this watch, all this makes an unforgettable impression. It is even more intense when you notice the stunning chessboard pattern made at the very top of this masterpiece. If you are a chess fan or became one after watching the series about the brilliant chess player «Queen's Gambit», then buy this hourglass.
