What is tennis without timing? Federer’s forehand was a blueprint for precision. 25 seconds between points. 90 seconds to switch sides of the court. Centre Court’s iconic Rolex clock.

Tennis has long favoured exclusivity, and with that come the finer things in life: watches among them. But the culture is changing. The gates that used to be locked have been forced open by a new generation of fans who understand the sport’s tradition and are reshaping it. On their wrist? The END. x Timex 1981 Reissue Inspired.
