007 STYLE

No time like the present...

While we’ve been waiting for 007, Moneypenny and co to return from furlough, we’ve been putting together a wishlist of inspired gift ideas, and guess what? ...We’ve been inspecting them, Mr Bond.

LEATHER SAY LEATHER AGAIN

In a collaboration between Michael Kors and the Bond franchise, the character Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) will carry the MKC x 007 Bond Bancroft satchel in No Time To Die. It’s mini style with maximum impact, crafted in luxe calf leather with a roomy interior and it exudes an elegant casual daytime look. £720; harveynichols.com

SHAKEN NOT STIRRED

And stick an olive in it. In No Time To Die, in a bar where James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Paloma (Ana de Armas) enjoy a drink, we can spot a pair of vintage martini glasses. We think these are possibly Paşabahçe Utopia which can be sourced on amazon.co.uk. However these LSA International bar glasses are a a little more classic, hold 180ml, and a box of four are £40; harveynichols.com

ONE BOTTLE IS NOT ENOUGH...

Dom Pérignon Champagne has appeared in many James Bond movies and is mentioned in Ian Fleming novel Moonraker when it’s recommended by the sommelier at Blades club in Mayfair while 007 is dining with M. They get through two bottles of the ‘46 vintage. Occasionally, though, a drop may be spilled; as in The Spy Who Loved Me, where Bond (Roger Moore) has a bottle of Dom Pérignon chilling in his train cabin but ends up smashing it on Jaws' (Curd Jürgens) head. The scene is reworked by Daniel Craig as 007 and henchman Mr Hinx (Dave Bautista) in Spectre. We think it’s best not to waste any and enjoy a celebration of only good times. Pick up a good 2008 vintage at Harvey Nichols, £175, 12% ABV, 75cl; harveynichols.com or DBM Wines have an excellent 2009, £129.50; dbmwines.co.uk

TICK-TOCK, MR BOND

Breaking tradition, and strongly tipped to be the next 007, Nomi (Lashana Lynch) wears an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in No Time To Die. The exact watch is a Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial Master Chronometer with black dial and 38mm case. The case is stainless steel, with a wave-edged design featured on the back. The black dial has a horizontal ‘teak’ pattern which is inspired by the wooden decks of luxury sailboats. The dial shows a date window at six o'clock and rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova. The watch is powered by the OmegaMaster Chronometer calibre 8800 automatic movement. In the film, Nomi has replaced the standard steel bracelet in preference for the Omega black nylon Nato strap. Cool. For details on the model and similar versions visit mallory-jewellers.com

MOUTHFUL

...When it crumbles... Okay, not the original lyrics as sung by Adele but we had to weave it in somewhere. Posh chocolatiers Charbonnel et Walker have created a delicious drum of James Bond truffles –inspired by 007’s cocktail of choice and elegantly boxed in their iconic signature hat-box style drum. The dark chocolate martini truffles are filled with a luxurious infusion of vodka, gin and rich chocolate, with a twist of lemon. Nice. A treat for 007 enthusiasts. £15, available to order from 007store.com

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER

Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) wears David Deyong DiamonDust sterling silver drop earrings in movie Spectre. The earrings are worn in the Morocco scenes; first when Swann and Bond have dinner together in the dining car of the train, then later on in with Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz) at his secret desert villain facility. You can get the look at daviddeyong.co.uk for £199. However if you’re in the market for some real ice, then we spotted these belters... 18ct white gold threeclaw set of round brilliant cut diamond drop earrings from Mallory. Total diamond weight 1.6ct, £5,360; mallory-jewellers.com

A VIEW TO A THRILL

Italian actress and fashion model Monica Bellucci is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. She’d just turned 50 when playing Bond girl Lucia Sciarra in Spectre, commanding the eye and looking ab-fab in Dior and Louboutins. However when asked about landing the role, she said she thought she was replacing Judi Dench as M rather than starring as the oldest of 007’s love interests. Christian Louboutin, So Kate heels, £525; harveynichols.com

THE LIVING NIGHTLIGHTS

The first Anglepoise was invented by George Carwardine at his home in Macaulay Buildings in Bath in the 1930s. With the help of steel spring-makers Herbert Terry & Sons of Redditch, the Anglepoise became a household must-have. The original 1208 and the smaller 1227 are highly coveted design icons. Bond’s home furnishing is... let’s say minimal, but as seen in Skyfall, he does have a 1227 on the floor of his apartment and Q has the much later ‘model 75’ on his desk in No Time To Die. Available from Fiat Lux; fiatlux.co.uk

A SCENT FOR A GENT

on a matching bracelet. A transparent caseback makes it possible to see the anti-magnetic movement. For further details on this model and the Omega range, Floris No.89 fragrance was a personal favourite of Ian Fleming and featured in many of the early Bond movies. No.89 takes its name from the number of the Floris shop on Jermyn Street. With orange and bergamot blended with lavender and neroli and undertones of vetiver this is the quintessential English gentleman's fragrance. Comes in two sizes, 100ml (£80) and 50ml (£60) –if you are a secret agent, then a handy travel size is perfect for those missions you’ll spot a McLaggan Smith does not appear as an element in the table but is reserved for a future discovery. Pick one up at John Lewis.

THE SPY WHO GLOVED ME

Made by Dents in England: a pair of Fleming unlined hairsheep leather driving gloves as worn by Daniel Craig in Spectre. They make the perfect winter accessory... No more coldfingers... (apologies). Available from dents.co.uk or find them at House

WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

Since GoldenEye in 1995, the Omega Seamaster has been James Bond's watch of choice. Omega first introduced the Seamaster 300 in 1957 – it was a watch designed especially for underwater divers. More than half a century later, the timepiece makes a welcome return, upgraded and ready for a new generation of adventurers. This Seamaster 300 has a sand-blasted black dial with rhodium-plated hands coated with ‘vintage’ Super-LumiNova. The 41mm brushed and polished stainless steel case is presented visit Mallory; mallory-jewellers.com

PAY ATTENTION 007

Quartermaster Q has another mug! We’ll never know what happened to Q’s famous Scrabble mug (probably a deleted blooper) but in No Time To Die educational periodic table mug on his desk. Although, interestingly Q (like J) of Fraser.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

If you are planning on enjoying a white Christmas –perhaps taking to the mountains for a snow break will be a possibility –then these Tom Ford Eric Wayfarer-style sunglasses are as cool on the powder as they are hot in the sun. A true classic and Daniel Craig wears Tom Ford in Spectre. £266, available from Harvey Nichols. Prestige luggage brand Globe-Trotter has launched a No Time To Die

HE’S ONLY LIVED THRICE

After surviving a traumatic explosion in his cameo role in Skyfall, he’s patched up and bequeathed to 007 by ‘M’, in Spectre. Royal Doulton’sJack the Bulldog is still up to the job. He makes a welcome third return in No Time to Die, where he is enjoying his retirement on Bond’s coffee table. Good to see you back, from House of Fraser.

LIVE AND LET TIE

To celebrate Bond 25, Crockett & Jones have released the 007 limited edition ‘James’ shoe. James follows in the footsteps of Crockett & Jones’s world-renowned wholecut Oxford (the Alex model which featured in both Skyfall and Spectre), but with James, Crockett & Jones has embellished the styling and applied its highest grade of shoemaking. Crocket and Jones, £850; crockettandjones.com

ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SANTA LIST

Jack. Available from royaldoulton.co.uk or vulcanised fibreboard luggage collection. The new trolley cases are gorgeous and this fully branded luggage tag, £110, goes very nicely with them; globe-trotter.com

LICENCE TO CHILL

Macallan was one of the first of Scotland’s distilleries to be issued a legal licence. Connoisseurs believe it to produce one of the best single malts too. In Skyfall, the villain Silva (Javier Bardem) claims to know Bond’s favourite whisky, and the Macallan1962 was served regularly... Sadly Sévérine (Bérénice Marlohe) spilled her glass. Chill out like 007, and enjoy a Christmas tipple. Macallan single malt whisky, available at Harvey Nichols; also find out more at themacallan.com
