The Workshop Watches Photo Shoot

On Wednesday 9th October some members of the Geckota team ventured to Montpellier, a fashionable suburb of Cheltenham for a shoot of the Workshop range of Watches. The chosen location was John Gordons, a specialist wine, whisky and gin bar. Montpellier, being the home to stunning architecture, chic boutiques and stylish restaurants, was the perfect place to capture the W-01 and W-02 in its natural environment. Before we began our photo shoot we stopped at The Tavern, a rustic restaurant which focuses on Eastern European cuisine. Explore the setting below...

Once we had finished at the Tavern we relocated to John Gordons, just a 5 minute walk away.
