Timeless technology is something of an oxymoron in our accelerated age. Consumers are conditioned to expect rapid tech advancements expressed in a swift turnover of products, with annual upgrade cycles the de facto method of signalling how our devices get faster, smaller (or bigger), better, sleeker and more efficient. It’s a gallop, not a canter, that goes against the ethos of luxury design, with its emphasis on craft, care and attention to detail. It’s a rare brand that manages to dovetail both qualities into its products.
