Founded in 2012, the AVI-8 brand inspiration and design excellence originates from the collaboration between pilots and engineers who served in air forces around the world. This combination of design, attention to detail, and passion has resulted in the success that is the AVI-8 story. Every collection is an explicit homage to the planes, people and history of military aviation. Each timepiece brings to life the detail and narrative of the inspiration to delight and engage the wearer.
Designed as a tribute to one of Britain’s most distinguished fighter aces and commanders in both Europe and the Pacific during WWII, the Carey Dual Time is a perfectly wearable pilot’s watch drawn from a classic silhouette.
When the music video for Nancy Sinatra's 1966 hit song 'These Boots were made for Walking' was released, literally nobody questioned it. Her boots were made for walking, and that's just what they'd do. Looking at it in 2023, though, we do need to ask how comfortable those black leather knee-highs would really be, especially if she planned on walking all over whoever wronged her.
No shade to Nancy, but a pair of shoes that are made for walking (or running, or working) - like these composite toe shoes from Caterpillar safety - would have been a better pick.
