You can tell a lot about a man by the watch he’s wearing. Luckily for us, the gents on the following pages know what to choose when it comes to the best wrist candy out there.

What watch are you wearing?
It’s a Rolex Air-King from 2006 with an engine-turned bezel.
Tell us about it.
I was traveling in the [American] Southwest buying jewellery for the Japanese market and had the opportunity to work with a local artist in New Mexico to get a custom band made and fitted for it.
How did you come to own it?
My wife got me the watch for our wedding.
What’s the story behind it?
She just went to a shop on 57th Street [in Manhattan] if I remember correctly and wanted to buy me a good watch, one which I wouldn’t be afraid to wear on most days.
What do you love about it and why is it your favourite?
It’s one of a kind but I also enjoy jewellery quite a bit. I’ve had jewellery made over the years for shoots, gifts and for myself, and this might be one of the first things I had made and actually co-designed.
When do you wear it and what do you wear it with?
I wear it whenever… and on no set occasion. Some months it’s my everyday watch.
What would be a dream watch for you to own?
I am not sure, maybe a Vacheron [Constantin] Overseas?
