Russell Callow of London Timepiece is a throwback to the good old-fashioned clock repairman. He sources industrial and traditional clocks at antique fairs all over Europe and refits them with quartz movements in his East London workshop. His inventory constantly changes, but here is a look at some of his current industrial pieces. Prices begin at £75. To view further, visit russellcallow.com.

We share an appreciation for stylish desk accessories, so when we noticed that Design Within Reach has come out with a line of office staples with packaging designed by Wallpaper founder Tyler Brûlé for Japanese company Craft Design Technology, we were intrigued. Below, clockwise from top left: file box ($30), glue stick ($7), HB graphite pencils ($40 a dozen), disposable fountain pen ($15), and mechanical drafting pencil ($50).
