PH member and, until now, a lurker on the watch forum. I volunteer at the Shuttleworth aircraft collection and was at the Festival Flight today. No connection to this venture other than coming across them there, but was impressed by what I saw and heard at the Flyer Watches stall.

I couldnt find any results on a search of PH, so thought I'd share the info here. They've been going for a couple of years and have 3 ranges of aviator related watches (2 with quartz movements and 1 with Miyota automatic movements. IMHO, good quality, appearance and well presented. The key for me, as not only a lover of such watches but also as a long term aviator and supporter of flying is what they do - 20% of profits on all sales (except the Aerobility watch) are fed into a bursary fund for the likes of the Air League and Honourable Company of Air Pilots to fund flying flying scholarships/bursaries for those who could not otherwise afford to learn to fly. In addition, the proceeds from each Aerobility watch funds flying experiences for disabled people, via the Aerobility charity - https://www.aerobility.com/

The back story and the watches are at https://www.flyerwatches.com/explore
