“Yes, Zoom cocktail parties were an interesting novelty, but thank God the promise of actual nightlife is being dangled by the powers that be. And after a hard year, the post-pandemic decade is already being dubbed the new Roaring Twenties. Pop the champagne!

How does that translate into your choice of watches?
Answer: My taste in watches is like my dressing sense, classic with a twist. I have a weakness for vintage watches that from the period of 1930 – 1970 that a certain uniqueness to them, whether that’s a fancy pair of lugs, a funky dial, or an oddly shaped case. For a sophisticated dress watch, I would always go for 36 mm or under.
Wrist check! What’re you wearing today?
Answer: I’m today wearing my vintage Vacheron Constantin from 1939.
What appeals to you about that watch, specifically?
Answer: Not only is it made by the oldest watch manufacturer in the world, but it also shares its birth year with my grandfather. The watch carries a simple yet elegant dial with a small second hand at 6 o’clock. It has a domed crystal which gives it character, but what I find the most appealing is its glorious teardrop lugs.
What was your favourite outfit from the Roaring 2020s shoot?
Answer: It has to be the look featuring the jacquard silk dinner jacket by the talented bespoke tailor, Simon Lloyd Fish. I am fascinated by the jacket’s bold cut and (almost) psychedelic print which was inspired by a 1970’s London underground graphic. A very Art Deco look to compliment the bottle green JLC Reverso,
