Simon Carter’s reputation stems from his revolutionary approach to cufflink design following his introductory men’s brooches, beginning in the mid to late 80’s. Some of his original designs are now vintage. Progressing to other popular men’s accessories like wallets, belts, ties and watches seemed like the natural thing to do. And Simon has left his impression on all. Now his Designer watches take centre stage, simple, functional, of classical form these timeless pieces keep perfect time and you don’t need a degree in mechanical engineering to operate their functions. Made in Germany using Swiss or Japanese movements you get double the precision and structural integrity. Germans, Japanese and Swiss are renowned for their engineering prowess and so you’re assured of quality and longevity. The styles revolve around classic forms complimented by modern technology. Some styles have quartz. A favourite is the classically formed WT815W, handsome and very functional. Simon

Cristian: Simon, please tell us a little about yourself and your family.
Simon: G’day Cristian. I manage DataMystic (originally Crystal Software), a software development company based in Melbourne, Australia. DataMystic was a part-time business for years, but in 2000 (after 9 products) it started making more money than my day job! I left my real job, and started working from home, which was terrific because I hated feeling like an ant in peak-hour, and the extra 2 hours a day increased my productivity tremendously. Soon after this my wife and I backpacked around the world for 14 months. This
Simon Carter Designer Wallets We’re familiar with Simon Carter’s reputation of being the “King of Cufflinks” His designer ties are starting to populate more and more stores and then there’s his casual wear. But have you seen his wallets? Now lets face it, there’s only so much one can do to design a wallet that truly differs. Paul Smith wallets have bright stripes, others with photos of mini minors embossed. Richard James uses bright colours on the inside of his wallets as do many other designers, pretty ordinary “Simon Carter take centre stage” he bought the rights of a cartoon strip, transferred to fabric using digital print and then used the brightly coloured material to line his jeans wallets. This is what I call smart design and they’re functional too, lightweight, they slip in and out of small pockets easily.
In 1985 a quiet revolution began when Simon Carter started selling pewter brooches for men. By the late 80's Carter was selling designer cufflinks. He introduced fresh and exciting designs and revolutionised the men's accessories market, which had been stagnant for many years. As he gathered pace other emerging designers joined the band and together helped popularise cufflinks. At last men were getting the choice they demanded, Simon Carter kept in tune with his customers needs and he continued to deliver accordingly. More designers joined the revolution and their advance grew stronger each year. Simon Carter then ventured further into men's accessories introducing an impressive range of wallets, belts and designer ties, uniquely branded with Carters un-mistakable style.Now us chaps have the choice we deserve. Thank you Simon Carter, Ian Flaherty, Duchamp, Paul Smith, Kit Heat, Jo Downs, Kenzo, Feraud and Murray Ward.
