Editor’s Note
TAKE A SECOND
to look around you.
You may see the well-prepared traveler
with computer, iPad, iPod, books and
magazines. Or maybe there is the person
who is intent on watching every in-flight
movie available. Then, there could be the
passengers who can’t wait to sleep the
entire flight, and they even get a head
start before the doors close.
Whatever you ultimately decide to do
on your flight, I appreciate you taking
the time to look at this insert about fine
watches. Here you can find information
on: managing your time while traveling;
the things to know before you purchase
watches while on your trip; a look at
how watches get into movies (and you
might even see a watch placement in
one of the in-flight movies); as well as
information on the latest trends in
watches, like vintage and more.
As the editor of this publication, I
absolutely love watches and I hope that
a er reading this insert, you will too,
or at least have your interest piqued.
In truth, no one really needs a watch,
as time is all around us, but a watch is
one of the most personal of things that
we wear, resting right against our skin,
ticking away and sharing our lives and
our travels as a constant companion.
And, as we grow and mature, our
choice of watch can really delineate
our personality.
A er all, what we choose to wear
ma ers. So, choose wisely, and I hope this
special insert helps. —
