Introducing: The Drake's For HODINKEE 2016 Limited Edition Genta Pocket Square

It’s been a little over a year since we released a new collaboration with Drake’s of London – in November 2014, we launched a pocket square with Drake's that paid tribute to one of the most influential men in the watch world – Mr. Gerald Genta. We took two of his greatest works, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus, and used the shape of their trademark bezels to create the pattern. That limited edition was so popular that we decided to bring the design back in a new version.

Drake’s is the place for menswear and has been for almost 40 years. They make everything from custom shirts, ties, and other men’s accessories – so it should come as no surprise that we have partnered with them again to bring you the highest quality horological-inspired pocket squares.

2014: The first edition of the Genta Pocket Square. 2016: The new edition of the Genta Pocket Square.

The new edition is part of a limited series of 150 pieces, and each has been made by hand in Italy with the same supple silk and wool blend as the 2014 version. The 2016 pocket square features a medium blue background with contrasting navy blue coloring for the Nautilus and Royal Oak bezel outline – essentially the reverse of the original 2014 version.

The 2014 versions sold out quickly (in less than six hours to be exact), so don’t wait too long to get yours. Click here for the full listing.
