Éditions de la Tour × Analog:Shift - Vintage Watches Playing Cards

We’ve long felt that the world of vintage watches is incomplete without ephemera — the accessories, dealer hardware, and objéts d’art that surround the timepieces themselves. Here at Analog:Shift, we curate a wide selection of such horological ephemera, incorporating pieces that emphasize the history and beauty of these deeply compelling mechanical objects. 

Speaking of which — friends of Analog:Shift now have a new way to express their love of vintage watches. The Éditions de la Tour × Analog:Shift - Vintage Watches Playing Cards is a horologically-themed deck for the serious watch collector. Consisting of 63 × 88 mm (2.5 × 3.5 in.) cards printed on 310 gsm, linen-textured, black-core paper, the deck features 52 different vintage watches personally curated by Analog:Shift founder James Lamdin.

Emphasizing distinctive aesthetic details and different historical eras, each card is hand-illustrated by Éditions de la Tour's artists in two styles: blueprint-style for number cards, and full-color illustrations incorporating traditional playing-card figures for the court cards. (No doubt you’ll recognize many of the vintage-watch classics that James has selected!)

Whether your game is poker, gin rummy, or blackjack, this handsome set is sure to bring a smile to your face whenever you remove it from its packaging — which, by the way, is just as considered as the cards themselves. Housed within an A:S signature-green case with a Clous de Paris texture, an embossed logo, and spot UV accents, Éditions de la Tour × Analog:Shift - Vintage Watches Playing Cards set is a premium product meant to last a lifetime. Whether purchased for your own enjoyment or as a gift for a fellow collector, it’s the sort of considered bit of watch ephemera that every watch lover would be glad to own.
