Babar the Elephant Comes to Life in Rowing Blazers x Bamford London’s GMT Watch Collab
Celebrating the iconic character from the classic French children’s book, ‘Histoire de Babar.’
Rowing Blazers has partnered with Bamford London to release a limited-edition timepiece featuring Babar, the iconic character from the French children’s book Histoire de Babar. This collaboration follows their 2023 TAG Heuer x Bamford “Yacht Timer” Carrera venture and represents another creative effort blending storytelling and craftsmanship.
For the first time, Babar appears on a watch, with his arms cleverly doubling as the timepiece’s hands. The playful and detailed design makes this automatic GMT watch a standout piece. The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, with Babar depicted in his signature green suit and crown against a black backdrop. An internal rotating bezel complements the design with two green shades, echoing the elephant’s iconic attire.
Powered by the Sellita SW330-2 movement, the watch ensures precision with its self-winding mechanism and a 56-hour power reserve. It also offers a second time zone function controlled by a central hand, while boasting water resistance up to 10 ATM.
Limited to just 99 pieces, the Rowing Blazers x Bamford Babar GMT watch is priced at $2,348 USD. Available starting today, it can be purchased through Rowing Blazers and Bamford London’s official websites.
