He used to dabble in watches when he was a young exec. Now he's more into high-end cameras. He has only one everyday watch now, a 2 tone GMTII which he bought in 1997, celebrating his first regional directorship (when we still had a manufacturing industry to boast of).
His watch is his daily companion and reminds him of what it took and what he stood for when he made the job, values he still lives by today. He was only 43 then, not bad for a poor village boy from Malaysia who had to work right after O-Levels to help support my uncles.
He had always wanted that particular GMTII with bronze dial and the gold bezel, and had waited till he'd got family priorities right before making the plunge.
The next watch he'll buy will only be when he retires, and he's already decided on a Nautilus. I think the man deserves it, a great friend and father!
That, he says, will just sum up his work as a businessman and father, and mark the beginning of his golden years.
