Scarlett Baker, the fashion and watch editor, fell in love with watchmaking at age 6, turning heads with FlikFlak models. Former Editor of Man About Town and Editor-in-Chief of The Next Hour, Scarlett’s on a mission to make watches cool for the younger crowd and also to inspire women in this field. Find her insights in GQ, Highsnobiety, More or Less, Dazed, and L’Officiel. Now, let’s dive into Scarlett’s watch journey and quirky personality!
A month before I joined the watch industry (without knowing I was about to) my Dad gifted me his father’s Omega for my 23rd birthday. He went by the name of Alfredo, living in Spain, so I call it my Omega Alfredo. It’s still got all the scratches on it from when he wore it which I refuse to get rid of. The scratches are here to stay.
I think leopard print is my sixth sense and for some unknown reason I’m obsessed with it and how tacky it is (from the recent acquisition of a leopard print toothbrush, to the pipe dream Rolex Leopard Daytona.) Rolex gods, hear my leopard prayers.
Supposedly this is the earliest record of me wearing a watch. She was a FlikFlak of course, and I miss her simplicity dearly. Petition to normalise wearing FlikFlaks for eternity.
Je suis obsessed with getting my nails done. Sure, a watch is an extension of your personality,
but my nails are mini canvases too.
My family absolutely despises this tattoo (#oops) but I got it in homage to my family surname. I love tiny tattoos and (no hate) want a watch tattoo next year. To tourbillon, or not to tourbillon?
