I don't have any, but I do know that my shirtmaker uses the same style, including extra button, on a lot of shirts for women who occasionally want to sport French cuffs. My wife has a shirt or two like that, but I think she has never used anything but the buttons.
I have a friend who does not like double cuffs at all, so he had singles made for his formal shirt and perhaps even for a dressy white shirt for evening wear.
I am not a fan of the look myself.
You know, that second photo was the perfect occasion to "incidently" flash a new watch while holding keys to expensive car.
My own shirtmaker prefers a simple, single button cuff for day wear.
When I wear my stiff collars, I like a nice double-cuff.
Looks good on the pics I must say. That kind of cuff just never seems to 'sit' properly on my wrist though (maybe just my shirts though; a lot of cheaper shirts in Europe have those cuffs, often with buttons in addition). I've also seen them worn with the toggle of the link hidden inside the cuff - probably more by accident than design, but I think that can look quite smart.

Am I correct in saying this is the signature cuff for Kabbaz himself?
I like them with a slightly longer "tail" and the button. Then it relly lookslike a franch cuff, just without the turnback. The button is great as, for me, links are aften "too fussy".

I have a single cuffs shirt as well. However, it seems that double cuffs look more formal.
