Watch accessory specialist Misterchrono.com has just added a brand-new label to its catalog: Avel & Men, a French company offering a wide range of products inspired by the sea and sailing. Among them, a "single watch" pouch and a "three watch" watch roll. Accessories that weather any storm.
Here is a young French brand, from Brittany to be precise, that makes you dream of long ocean voyages. Its entire world is inspired by sailing and by the various materials found aboard a boat.
It all started with a brother and sister who spent their whole childhood in Brittany. A passionate racer, Xavier sails on the most beautiful waters in the world. His sister Agnès, for her part, has always worked in the luxury industry. Together, they decided to create Avel & Men.
"Like a cold-molded wooden sailboat fitted with a carbon mast, exotic-fiber halyards and a state-of-the-art sail, Avel & Men boldly elevates the marriage of traditional materials such as leather and brass with carbon fiber and rope: technical, lightweight and strong," the brand states in its press release.
Among its various products, two are aimed squarely at watch lovers and have been added to the Misterchrono catalog. The first is a "single watch" storage pouch in full-grain milled leather (navy blue or burgundy) with a cotton lining and zip closure. Note that the lining is padded for optimal protection of the timepiece. Expect to pay 124 euros.
The other product is a watch roll for storing and carrying three watches, also in full-grain milled leather (navy blue or burgundy), with a cotton lining printed like a nautical chart. We love the closure, tied with a reef knot that perfectly evokes the brand's maritime world. Expect to pay 144 euros.
Avel & Men also offers backpacks, travel notebooks, belts, key rings and more.
