Bamford Unveils Limited Edition GMT In Support Of London’s Air Ambulance Charity

Bamford London launched a special Limited Edition GMT timepiece, created in support of the London’s Air Ambulance Charity.  

Limited to just 50 pieces, the exclusive watch has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the distinctive colours and identity of the life saving service.

When every minute counts, London’s Air Ambulance is there. The first 11 minute markers represent, by design, the average response time. London’s Air Ambulance Charity delivers advanced trauma teams directly to critically injured patients across the capital, bringing doctors and paramedics to the scene in under 11 minutes. Their helicopter based rapid response service is often the difference between life and death. 

London’s Air Ambulance Charity delivers advanced trauma teams directly to critically injured patients across the capital, providing rapid response and medical expertise when every second counts. The service relies on the general public for 96% of its funding. The money raised will help ensure London’s Air Ambulance teams can continue to be at the side of than 2,000 patients every year. 

“The London Air Ambulance provides an extraordinary service, one that truly makes the difference between life and death. They rely entirely on public donations to operate, and it felt important to find a meaningful way to support their mission. This Limited Edition GMT is our contribution to helping raise both awareness and funds.” George Bamford, Founder, Bamford London

Inspired by the design and colour palette associated with London’s Air Ambulance Charity, the timepiece embodies both functionality and purpose. A distinctive design feature sees the traditional sweep seconds hand replaced with a replica of the helicopter’s rotor blades, a subtle yet powerful tribute to the aircraft at the heart of the charity’s life saving operations. Each watch serves not only as a precision instrument but also as a symbol of support for the charity’s critical work.

The Limited Edition GMT offers collectors and supporters a unique opportunity to own a meaningful timepiece while supporting a life-saving cause. For every London’s Air Ambulance limited edition watch purchased, Bamford London will donate 22% of the sale (excluding VAT) to London’s Air Ambulance Charity (Registered Charity No. 801013). This equates to a donation of £396 per watch.

With a limited run of 100 watches available for pre-order, Bamford London aim to donate £39,600 to London’s Air Ambulance Charity over the lifetime of the partnership.
