Launched as a limited edition collaboration of 250 pieces between Hodinkee, the world’s largest watch publication and famed English watch customization house Bamford, the Peanuts “Joe Preppy” is a light-hearted and thoughtfully designed celebration of Peanuts, the cartoon dog and pop culture icon. Measuring 40mm in diameter and boasting an automatic GMT movement, the Peanuts “Joe Preppy” is a functional watch, but with Peanut’s paws acting as the hour and minute hands. As a result, this watch is imbued with a light-hearted ethos. Featuring a two-tone black and white 24-hour inner bezel and a black dial, this timepiece’s display is punchy and unique, with Peanut’s colorful “Joe Preppy” attire, such as his blue sweater and brown tweed jacket jumping off the dial’s monochromatic design.

Watch is in overall near-mint condition. The steel case shows light signs of careful wear. The case back has a couple of light marks. The dial and hands are like new. It is fitted with a brown strap and a Bamford steel buckle, both remaining in near-mint condition. Comes complete with inner and outer boxes and paperwork.

A light-hearted and thoughtfully designed watch that combines the design talents of Hodinkee and Bamford, focused on a central cultural icon, the Peanuts "Joe Preppy" GMT introduces some fun to watchmaking, an industry that often takes itself too seriously.
