Whoever you are, wherever you go, and whatever you do, there is one thing that we all aspire to: success. How exactly we define that success may vary greatly from one person to another, but this one word amply summarises something we all desire.
Successful people are often easily recognised; on one level it is simply in the way that they carry themselves, in their attitude and confidence, the way they walk and the way they talk. On another level, it can be noticed in the accessories they choose – albeit perhaps not in the way you might think.
The Suit
They say that clothes maketh the man – and to some extent, this is true. However, today you may find a successful person in jeans and a t-shirt just as often as in a suit. The key is in the quality. Instead of “off the peg” suits, a successful person may choose handmade, as not only does it fit and flatter better, but the craftsmanship often means that it will last longer, whilst casual wear may be chosen more for the quality of the material and the way it’s made than the name on the label.
The Shoes
Similarly, when it comes to what you put on your feet, comfort and craftsmanship are key. Anybody who has ever spent a day on their feet will know that sore feet can have a significant impact on your mood and well-being; similarly, anybody who has enjoyed the comfort of a bespoke shoe will be able to tell you how much difference it makes when your shoe is fitted to perfection.
The Car
Do successful people drive around in ostentatious, flashy vehicles? Well, naturally some do – but many of the world’s most famous and successful people prefer quite ordinary vehicles.
Rather than looking for the fastest, sportiest or most expensive, it’s often reliability, practicality and even ethical concerns that drive the choice. For those who spend a lot of time driving on winding country roads, a well-made 4×4 is a better choice than a speedy Porsche, whilst environmentally minded individuals may prefer an affordable hybrid electric vehicle over the more conspicuous consumption of a large executive car.
The Boat
Owning your own yacht is seen as a status symbol – but for many it’s not the boat itself that’s important, rather what it allows one to do. Relaxation is a vital part of anyone’s lifestyle, and the freedom that comes with possessing a boat is almost unparalleled.
However, it offers much more than that – it’s a comfortable mode of transport and an excellent way to relax, yes, but also an ideal venue for entertaining clients and colleagues, and a practical base for challenging sports like diving.
The Watch
Last, but certainly not least, you can tell a lot about somebody by the watch they choose. From practical pieces designed for sporting adventures to dazzling diamond-encrusted pieces intended to catch the eye, luxury watches allow the wearer to make a very definite statement.
The hallmark of all such timepieces, however, is the same as that of these other trappings of success – quality and craftsmanship.
Whilst there are many choices, and personal taste plays a large factor, a durable timepiece which boasts a simple, classical design is often a favourite.
The Bremont Solo White Dial watch is an excellent example. The simple, clean dial of this automatic chronometer ensures ease of use, making it a practical timepiece whatever the occasion, and its classic design means that it will complement any outfit.
Whilst this watch is modestly priced, it boasts the care and craftsmanship that one seeks in a good watch. Retaining aspects of the military designs which inspired it, the Solo features all the trademarks of Bremont’s durable workmanship; the crystal is anti-reflective and scratch resistant, offering a distortion-free view of the face at any angle, which enhances the practicality of the inlaid markers. Bremont’s own Trip-Tick case is a three part assembly which is subjected to a special hardening treatment to make it more than seven times more scratch-resistant than typical watch-grade steel. This ensures a robust construction which still appears streamlined and elegant, and the steel/sapphire display back allows you to admire the workings within.
All of this combines to create an ideal timepiece for everyday wear – one that will not need to be buffed and protected to ensure that it looks fresh and clean.
This piece retails at £2,850 and is available under our generous 0% finance terms from just £63.33 per month.
