HOLLAND & HOLLAND —— 怀匠人之心 打造最精致的百年名枪

The most dedicated and enthusiastic craftsmen building the best guns ever.

Depending on the model of gun, from 650 man hours to well over 1250 man hours will be involved making it.  And no part of a Holland & Holland gun is interchangeable, it is always made especially for the gun down to the smallest pin!

What comes to mind if you heard the name Holland & Holland? If you say Tulips and Windmills, then you’re not alone.  After all, the Netherlands are famous for their tourism.  What I’m about to tell you not only has nothing to do with the Netherlands but it’s about a house known far more for its royalties than its flowers.  It’s a house that holds two Royal warrants of appointment, which means they have been supplying the royal families of their finely made products since you know when.  Their royal customers are from United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Japan and of course China. Yes, we’re talking about the Qing Dynasty!

So what exactly is Holland & Holland you ask? Well, although they are now jack of all trades, they even make an edition of Range Rover, but Holland & Holland started as a rifle manufacturer by Harris Holland in 1835.  Until this day, Holland & Holland still uses all the traditional gun making methods. Filed actions to great precision using the “oil black” method, hand struck barrels, hand shaped stocks and checkering, etc.  Depending on the model of gun, from 650 man hours to well over 1250 man hours will be involved making it.  And no part of a Holland & Holland gun is interchangeable, it is always made especially for the gun down to the smallest pin!  Combine these abilities with the quality of steel available today, and it will be no surprise Holland & Holland has some of the most dedicated and enthusiastic craftsmen building the best guns ever.

Holland & Holland Range Rover

The Ultimate Bentley Bentayga Fighter

It is the pinnacle of craftsmanship! The Holland & Holland Range Rover costs as much as two “regular” Range Rover HSEs, yet it’s worth every penny!  Two iconic British brands serving the royalties for centuries have come together and created the ultimate SUV!  The new car is able to combine the unrivalled off-road capability of the Range Rover with an extensive range of bespoke Holland & Holland accents.  Both Land Rover and Holland & Holland hold Royal Warrants and the collaboration between them has resulted in the most luxurious Range Rover ever.  Better yet, the most luxurious SUV ever! Take that Bentley Bentayga!

Perhaps the most impressive features of this beauty is the attention to details. The sustainably-sourced French walnut veneer, subtly polished to resemble the oil-finished gunstocks for which Holland & Holland’s craftsmen have been famous since the company’s foundation in 1835.  To mark this, their logo is inlaid into the front center console.  The car’s woodwork is made from a single huge piece of walnut, 1500mm long by 500mm wide, to ensure that every veneer is perfectly matched like a pair of sporting guns.

The engraver’s art is well represented too, with Holland & Holland’s brand-defining acanthus scroll turning the internal door handles into works of art. The fascia letterbox panels are decorated with gunstock checkering and the exquisite engraving of the center console panel has been inspired by Holland & Holland’s distinctive forend diamonds.

What really sets the new Holland & Holland Range Rover apart, though, is located in the boot. A stunning leather-trimmed aluminum load space cabinet – embossed with the Holland & Holland logo – has been designed especially for this car. Its espresso Alcantara-trimmed interior can be precisely fitted to safely transport the owner of the car’s pair of Holland & Holland.

HOLLAND & HOLLAND

怀将人之心    打造最精致的百年名枪

英国百年皇家品牌Holland & Holland以纯手工创造出属于自己的枪王朝。

        当听到Holland & Holland这个名字时，你的第一反应是什么？大多数人都会马上联想到郁金香和风车，毕竟荷兰的旅游业是世界闻名的。而今天我想和你说的跟荷兰一点关系都没有，但它的皇家名气远远超过荷兰的鲜花。作为曾经两次被授予皇家委任认证的公司，从为人所知起就长期为皇室家族提供制作精良的产品。Holland & Holland的皇家顾客来自英国、荷兰、比利时、卢森堡、丹麦、瑞典、日本和中国。是的，从中国的清朝时期就开始了！

        所以你问Holland & Holland到底是什么？虽然这个品牌现在涉猎各行各业，甚至制作了路虎揽胜限量版，事实上Holland & Holland起源于一位名叫哈里斯荷兰的商人在1835年创建的来福枪制造厂。直到现在，Holland & Holland仍然坚持着最传统的制枪方法。他们会使用特殊的“黑油”制枪方法来确保枪的精密度，还会手工制作枪管、枪托和雕花等等。根据枪型号的不同，每杆枪大概需要花费650个到1250个工时来进行制作。而且，每一支Holland & Holland枪的每一个零件都是量身打造，哪怕小到一个螺丝，都不能和其他枪的零件互换。这样高水准的制作加上现代高质量的钢材，Holland & Holland那些最敬业和充满热情的工匠们能够打造出这世界上最好的枪也就不足为奇了。

“枪版”路虎    与宾利添越的极致对决

路虎的特殊车辆研发部门和Holland & Holland百年枪厂强强联手，历时三年打造了这款最极致奢华的越野SUV, 标志着制作工艺的巅峰，向最新款宾利添越发出挑战。

        它是制作工艺的巅峰之作！Holland & Holland生产的路虎虽然成本超过两辆常规路虎揽胜HSE，但它绝对物有所值！两个为皇室服务了过百年的英国老字号走到了一起，打造了这辆终极SUV！这款新车不仅拥有路虎无可匹敌的越野能力，还拥有一系列Holland & Holland风格的独家定制。两家持有皇家认证的大牌合作使得他们的出品堪称史上最豪华的SUV，剑指最新款宾利添越！

        也许，这件完美的作品最令人印象深刻的就是对细节的极致追求。环保的法国胡桃木装饰板，巧妙的抛光成好像油光面的枪托，这是Holland & Holland自1835年创立以来，工匠们就闻名于世的制作工艺。为此，车子前端中控台还嵌入了Holland & Holland的标志。该车木质内饰都取材于同一块巨大的胡桃木，长约1米5，宽约0.5米，以此确保左右两边的木质内饰就像一对猎枪那样匹配。

        在这辆车内，Holland & Holland高超的雕刻技艺也被完美地呈现出来。车门内部把手刻上了Holland & Holland标志性的欧式雕花，堪称艺术品。车内经典的信箱式设计装饰板也使用了枪托式的雕花装饰，同时，中控台那些精致的雕刻也来源于 Holland & Holland独特的前枪托的菱形纹路设计。

        真正让Holland & Holland新版路虎揽胜与众不同的还在于它的后备厢。在后备厢里你会惊奇地发现一个为这款车定制的印有Holland & Holland标志的真皮包裹的铝制箱柜。定制的尺寸刚好可以让Holland & Holland的枪主放置两把长枪，同时其棕色的翻毛皮内饰也能确保运输的安全性。
