Thom Sweeney & Phillips Partner on a Timely New Exhibition & Sale

A new exhibition at Phillips auction house celebrates the enduring relationship between timepieces and tailoring, created in collaboration with Thom Sweeney A fine watch, pair of shoes and suit would not be a bad place to start Getting the balance right between these staples is a fine art as Phillips shall unfold in their upcoming exhibition, Well Suited.

Following on from their successful display, Watchmakers: The Master of Art Horology, the auction house's latest display merges the fine art of watchmaking and tailoring excellence, under the watchful eye of Thom Sweeney Known for their inherently flexible, Italo-Anglo house cut, co-founders Thom Whiddett and Luke Sweeney have always thought "The mark of a man are excellent manners, a great suit and a beautiful watch." We couldn't agree more Right next to the watches will be a working cutting room, where tailors will be honing their craft in full display.

One question remains: should a watch remain hidden under a suit sleeve or not? Gianni Agnelli famously wore his watch over his shirt sleeve; Bond went against tradition and wore a sports watch under a dinner jacket. . Source
