This Ramadan, reward those with a discerning eye for classics with gifts from dunhill’s collection of contemporary designs reflecting upon a heritage of beautiful articles. Decorated with patterns inspired by those from the 1920s, the Blue Art Deco hard products collection make excellent gift options for the sharp gentleman. An exceptional lacquer design is expertly applied and distinguished on a Fountain Pen with sleek black vertical lines, complementing the proportions of a brilliant blue barrel–perfect for signing those “Ramadan Mubarak” cards. The Rotating Buckle Cufflinks and Rotating Keyfob utilise an action inspired by another ingenious archive dunhill timepiece – a belt which boasted a watch face housed in its buckle that could be protectively flipped over during sports to present its casing. Translated to smaller accessories, this satisfying movement makes for a perfect Ramadan gift for the more restless gentleman requiring a subtle yet satisfying stress release – switching the decorative panel to a dunhill branded brushed stainless steel reverse for a more understated and casual appearance.
