Avel & Men

Avel & Men is the beautiful story of a brother and sister both passionate about the open sea and watches. Gathered together in 2016 around a project aimed at linking these two passions, they have created a brand specialising in watch accessories inspired by the world of sailing. To do this, they are targeting a chic urban clientele with a passion for regattas. Embark with them on their crazy adventure to discover these quality products, created on the basis of the noblest and most...

Whether travelling or on business, it can be tricky to take your favourite timepieces with you. The watch roll is therefore an elegant, space-saving solution that is perfectly suited to protecting the various components of a watch. 

Many brands announce that they work with sailcloth. However, very few offer watch straps made of regatta canvas, a demanding material due to its technicality and rigidity. Avel & Men uses its knowledge of watchmaking and sailing to design aesthetic and resistant straps ready to dress up the latest diving watch or the oldest of the regatta chronographs. 

Very few French watch brands have made a lasting impression, but the watch manufacturer Lip is definitely one of them. When Avel & Men started selling vintage watches, offered with a leather strap from their collection, it was quite natural that Lip stood out as the ideal brand. Let's focus on the Lip Geneva chronograph from the 1960’s which is  this month’s selection.

It is not an easy task to find the perfect strap for a sports watch, and diving models are certainly no exception. Both sporty and elegant, the Tampa watch strap in Cordura canvas is ideal for dressing up your diving watch on any occasion.
