A total of 200 cufflinks were made by TMB ArtMetal, and they were designed to resemble the DB6 and the car’s iconic wheel ‘spinners’.

The men’s wardrobe does not offer a wide spectrum of refinements. Especially masculine accessories are limited, but fortunately apart the tie, cufflinks once again vanquish as an necessity.
Watch-Cufflinks.com offers the most original cufflinks available by creating stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces from vintage jeweled timepieces. Each piece is hand made from specifically selected watch movements of the finest craftsmanship from Switzerland, France and across the globe.

The cufflinks you see here were once the heart of mechanical masterpieces. Now they will add instant class and uniqueness to your shirt and your suit.
Priced at $985, the pair of Girard Perregaux (below) is perhaps the most beautiful cufflinks they have created though.
“Girard Perregaux is a fixture among the top luxury watch brands and has been for a very long time. Their finely crafted timepieces are not only examples of brilliant craftsmanship and beauty, but also as highly coveted collectables that only increase in value. The company dates back to the late 1700’s in Geneva and in 1867 made an indelible mark on the horological world: Constant Girard presented his Tourbillon with three gold Bridges after years of research into the functional use of gold in watch movements. This masterpiece was awarded the gold medal at the Universal exhibitions of Paris in 1867 and 1889, but declared ineligible in 1901 because it could not be equalled.” (Courtesy of The Watch Guy)
As many of these items are unique, hand-crafted pieces, all items come with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Cost: $85-$985 @ Watch Cufflinks

The men’s wardrobe does not offer a wide spectrum of refinements. Especially masculine accessories are limited… So I was happy when I discovered a new company that produces beautifully designed men’s cufflinks called ARMREVOLUTION.
The London based company company has elevated cufflink design and function, to the level of watches and cars, which go through constant innovation ! Each style of ARMREVOLUTION cufflinks are a unique and considered “Arm architecture”.
“The brief to our London design team was to completely rethink the way that a French cuff shirt is attached at the wrist and I’m very proud of what they came up with. Our goal from the start was for our designs to be so innovative that we would be able to patent them….Innovation is key to every aspect of ARMREVOLUTION-through our products, packaging, events and customers service we aim to be different.” states founder and chairman Anthony Hayward.
Recently, the design team at ARMREVOLUTION has launched a six piece collection entitled “Perpetual series”. These unique cufflinks are inspired by the intriguing Bauhaus movement and are made from the finest Japanese stainless steel.
Each pair of cufflinks comes uniquely engraved with an identification number and a guarantee certificate, which, when registered on the ARMREVOLUTION website, provides access to the events surrounding the membership of this exciting brand.
The “perpetual collection” is available by appointment only at www.armrevolution.com. Each pair comes with a nicely designed reusable magnetic acrylic box and lovely leather traveling case. Prices ranging from $695 to $750.
