Introduction With 2022 approaching fast, it’s time for everyone to toss old, restrictive memories and mindsets down the drain; to clear the ways for bright, bold, brand new ideas to pour in.

Introduction Trust me, owning an automatic watch doesn’t always require you to shell out thousands or millions. Neither do you need to live the life of a celebrity or an industrialist with pockets deep enough to buy an island in the midst of the Pacific. Or, hobnobbing with the Mafioso!

Q1. Hello Gonzo! The reason I write to you is simple. Christmas is near and besides the other couple of gifts I’ve got for my grandson (who is about to enter his corporate, professional life), I am looking for a watch that will make him very proud wearing it now and in the coming days.

That’s the reason you might arrive in a 1940’s Rolls Royce to a banquet where everyone else gathered in their most recent tech-laden sports cars or family sedans. Luxury is not about utility. It’s true
