“I bought this for an elderly gent whose cheap and tatty old watch was lost when he went to the public hospital. This was my way of giving him a lift and a fresh start. I chose it online by searching for the brand Skagen which I know to have that Scandinavian no-frills elegance. The blue dial stands out as interesting, the size of dial is practical and the smooth, tan, leather strap looks very elegant. He was delighted and I am pleased.”
