The brand name was the first point of attraction for me as I am a firm believer of paying homage to one’s culture. This is reflected in Twelve19styles latest collection, Baale which is the Yoruba word for a community head. There is no better time as the present to joyfully showcase that which makes us unique especially with Nigeria currently making giant strides in the international scene.
I am also a fan of their courage as I am a testament to entrepreneurship not being easy especially in a niche with several luxury brands that have been doing the same thing one is doing for years. Their tenacity and breaking into the time wear industry was also a bold move.
The simplicity of the watch design is a tribute to the British style and this is one of my favourite things about the pieces. The simple and minimalist design makes them versatile and wearable with a wide range of outfits. Quality was also not skimped on as the leather straps of the watches are comfortable and of good quality. There is a new collection due to be out in 2023 and if you guessed that I am excited for it, you guessed right.
The Ago brand is definitely one to take giant strides in the time wear industry and I am excited for their growth.
