Each pair of Piloti Campione driving boots are handmade in Italy from full-grain calfskin leather, with a rubber sole designed to allow a high level of feel on automobile pedals.

Piloti designed the Campione series to look like dress shoes, with a velcro ankle strap that sits up inside the trouser leg, meaning they look a lot like regular dress shoes at a passing glance. Piloti offer the Campione in sizes from 7 to 13, and you can choose between either black or tan (the latter shown here).

Aside from their bespoke handmade watches, my favorite thing about Bamford is the fact that they rustle the jimmies of snooty purists. At their core, Bamford is a horological blood-brother of tuning houses like BMW’s M Motorsport division and the Mercedes-Benz AMG team. Instead of cars Bamford takes wristwatches made by many of the best…
