We are incredibly proud to be working with Tom Pidcock, an exciting, young British cyclist that has previously won a gold medal for Team GB at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and has claimed victories at the World Cyclocross Championships and European MTB Championships (both in 2022).
We met up with Tom in Andorra at the end of August before the Tour of Britain.

Criterium Café Photoshoot.
We began the day at the Criterium Café, the legendary cycling café that has seen many famous faces walk through the door and sign the wall on their way out. Filled with cycling memorabilia and art, it is clear to see why this is a favourite place of Tom's.
Tom had previously selected watches from our Accurist range that liked. In the images above and to the left he is wearing our automatic skeleton watch and in the image to the right he is wearing our blue automatic Dive watch.
We asked our followers on social media, as well as the Tour of Britain's followers, if they had any questions for Tom. These were the questions we asked Tom in the Q&A, with a couple of questions we were also very intrigued to know. Tom opened up about his favourite disciplines, why he began cycling competitively and even gave some cycling advice (use your brakes less!).
After getting to know Tom better through the Q&A and interviews, we then snapped some more pictures of Tom wearing his favourite Accurist watches and the Tour of Britain Limited Edition Gift Set watch and then it was onto the second photoshoot location.

Trail Photoshoot.
The second location was on of Tom's favourite training trails in Adorra. The day had been beautiful so far, with tempreatures soaring to 35 degrees, but as we set up to shoot, there was an immense downpour of rain. This shortened our shoot time from 3 and a half hours to just 60 minutes, but Tom was still determined to get on the bike and to demonstrate his skillset.
It was a pleasure to spend the day with Tom, to see him demonstrate his skills and talk about his success over the years that led him to win multiple medals and become one of the most exciting and recognisable cyclists in British and worldwide cycling.
