Deeper meaning
“Watches are very emotional for me. In my twenties, I was working in banking and doing quite well. The first watch I got as a present to myself was a two-tone Rolex Submariner. Around that time, I went into business with a relative who I trusted, but he left me and my family with a lot of debt. I was working very hard at the bank to repay some of these debts and thought about selling the Submariner, but my mum told me not to do so. Even though she knew nothing about watches, she knew that wearing it boosted my confidence when meeting my high-net-worth clients. I eventually managed to clear all those debts and turn things around. Until today, I have that watch.”
