The Ultimate Summer Watch

If you are a watch fan like me, you’ll be a bit of a snob. We both appreciate the good life and know our way in the world of luxury. When it comes to watches, we are Connoisseurs. We deeply appreciate Rolex as the brand above all other brands, and Patek Philippe is the Non Plus Ultra in refinement and heritage. You will own both or at least are trying to get in that position. 

Next step is to get hold of some icons that should fit the collection. Speedmaster? Sure. Reverso? You will need a dress watch right, so why not go for the ultimate icon? A little fun in life? Hublots Big Bang ticks that box. And we haven’t even touched the Royal Oak. If we go niche, a whole array of creative independent watch brands follow you in every taste and direction.
