GREAT WATCHES

A watch is not only something that gives you thetime. It is also about taking delight in therelentless pursuit of excellence.

An Italian masterpiece

SEEN as the ultimate

footwear by many golfers,

Royal Albartross is the brainchild

of a young British designer

whose ambition was to create

the world’s finest golf shoe. A

shoe that not only would satisfy

all the requirements of the dis-

cerning golfer but that also

would make a fashion statement.

Rumor has it – it’s catching on...
