The new Richmond Spencer is a reimagined version of the original PRS-8, which was first introduced 20 years ago in the March of 2004.
The name is taken from Richmond being Eddie's mother's maiden name and Spencer being the maiden name of his late wife.
The emphasis on the reintroduction has been all about the specification and quality of the movement. We started with the Unitas 6498, which was significantly modified and decorated with screwed Glucydur balance with Nivarox hairspring, swan-neck regulator, 3/4 top plate with Geneva Stripes and blued screws.
There are only 90 watches available and it will not be made again to this specification (if at all).
