Here is the link:

These are the cuffllinks (and actually VERY similar to Bond's at a fracton of the price - EUR 29.95).



If you want to order from the website (it's a German website and very safe - have ordered many items from this company before):

I ordered these cufflinks a few weeks ago - they arrived today. Excellent result that looks and feels a lot better than the £25 price tag. Sorry can't post a photo but can confirm that the image above is a true representation. If, like me, you like to collect ties, cufflinks and shirts I would recommend these - and save yourself thousands £'s compared to the TF version!! Happy (budget) shopping......

Language can be changed on the right side of the page... under the searchbar!
Then you must use the sign in button and follow the steps :-)

So are these the ones they use in Skyfall or just ones that look similar?

JBT0077

That's the cufflinks from skyfall yes.
Except the golden Color their very similar to the starck ones.

A grand for a pair of cufflinks? Truly obscene.

Actually, they're made of white gold and cost over $3,000.

Well actually, the link above leads you to a page which states the cufflinks are £995.

Whilst I have absolutely no issue with things costing a lot of money, I can't see any way you can justify charging a grand for such a small inanimate object. A grand can get you a bloody nice watch, an accurate rifle, a well tailored suit. Now consider the level of skill, craftsmanship and research/history that goes into making those items, and then the skill needed to cast a pair of cufflinks. Hardly on the same scale is it?

Tom Ford, IMO, appears to charge what he charges purely because he can, not because he has to.

For a thousand quid, I can have a piece of jewellery made that's unique, well made, way more intricate than a pair of solid cufflinks and designed to my own spec.

Which all in all, makes having to pay £995 for a tiny pair of solid cufflinks, truly obscene.

Rant over,

MG, I understand how you feel about the cost of these cufflinks, but I can assure you that the price (which was raised this past year), is well over $3,000. They are solid white gold, and not plated as many others are.

The Domino Effect

Perhaps TF adverrtises cufflinks like airlines advertise flights and it was £995 for each cufflink. 8-)

Came across these from Hawes and Curtis, granted they aren't 18k gold and they don't have the same clasp as the originals, but they make a great alternative:

As does every high end brand of anything… cars, watches, clothing, shoes etc etc etc…. Could I have purchased a very well made jacket for a fraction of the $800 I shelled out for the Barbour.. Absolutely.. Could I have spent significantly less and had a jacket that performed, lasted and looked just as good.. No doubt… Same with shelling out $4k for an Omega…. It's all a game really.. how much have you got.. and how bad do you want it..

In the end, for me, it comes down to the specific item.. I was good with dropping the money on the Barbour, The Billy Reid, and the Levis Menlo… For cufflinks and the ties for that matter, I am all about the replicas for a fraction of the cost…(Thank goodness for Magnoli!) But that's me.. Somewhere out there are PLENTY of people who gladly drop a grand on a set of cufflinks.. And clearly their salary looks much much much better than mine as a police sergeant )
