Since its founding in 1897, Globe-Trotter has captivated travelers worldwide. To commemorate its 120th anniversary, the brand is releasing the "120" (One-Twenty) limited collection, utilizing colored carbon – a cutting-edge material also found in F1 cars.

Globe-Trotter has partnered with Hypetex, the F1 engineering collective that pioneered colored carbon. While retaining its iconic silhouette, the body is adorned with silver carbon, a state-of-the-art material, achieving a refined aesthetic.

The meticulous attention to matching the intricate weave of the colored carbon across all components evokes the precision of aligning check patterns in British bespoke tailoring. The corner leather and straps are available in black leather or a luxurious burgundy leather.

Furthermore, the diamond quilting on the lining enhances its classic appeal, embodying the fusion of innovation and tradition.

Charlotte Seddon, Globe-Trotter's designer, commented, "We were deeply impressed by the durability of Hypetex's material. It also pairs exceptionally well with a classic style. Globe-Trotter's founder, David Nelken, was the first to adopt Vulcan Fibre, an innovative material of its time. If he were here today, he would undoubtedly embrace this modern, cutting-edge material, colored carbon."

Each piece is individually numbered, further emphasizing its status as a special edition. This collection embodies British craftsmanship and the union of tradition and innovation, designed for the modern adventurer.
