OSPREY PUBLISHING

Osprey Publishing are sponsoring We Have Ways Fest 2023’s HQ TENT, the main destination for the biggest talks of the weekend.

 

With over a thousand books on the Second World War, Osprey Publishing’s titles range across the breadth of the war – from opening Blitzkrieg to the fall of Japan.


If military hardware is what tickles your fancy then they’ve got you covered. Tanks, planes, ships, weapons – from the PIAT to the Essex Class Aircraft Carrier – they’ve got the lot.


They’ve got tomes on every conceivable unit in the conflict, including the Finns, Yugoslavs, Vichy French & Cossacks, and across battles in every theatre.

Vertex Watches

Founded in 1916, by Charles Lyons, Vertex Watches are designed to perform under the harshest of conditions. During the War, they were the only company manufacturing watches for the military and so, Vertex Watches were not designed for but worn by uniform themselves. 

Their first watch 45 years on after WW2, the M100, pays homage to the Cal. 59, a 1940’s military classic. Not a sign of wealth, merely a mark of respect to those who served, the M100 was only available to members of the Armed Forces.  

With their rich history, we are proud to announce that Vertex Watches will be sponsoring We Have Ways Fest 2023’s bar.
