“I’ve been a watch aficionado for most of my adult life. As a young man I can remember looking at old pictures of Aviators, Soldiers, Sailors and Explorers, men and women of passion, courage and conviction. Though they came from all walks of life and applied their adventurous spirits in a myriad of ways, there was always one commonality I noticed…. a wristwatch!

Time is one of those elements of our daily lives that we are always subconsciously aware of. It is omnipresent and we usually find ourselves either wishing it would slow down or praying it could go faster. Yet, we quickly learn that it is something that we cannot control, capture or contain, only frame! I believe a watch should be a reflection of our personal style. More than just utility, it is an overt example of our taste, character and individual branding. Nothing sets a person apart more than a beautifully designed and precisely functioning, wrist worn, time piece!

Thankfully, I’ve been able to acquire some magnificent pieces during my world travels as a U.S. Navy SEAL and Private Military Contractor. From Geneva and Milan to Paris and London, I’ve been blessed to acquire some masterpieces directly from the manufacturers. So you can imagine my complete surprise when I came across SwissPL!

From the moment I saw what they do, I knew I had to take my ‘watch game’ to a whole new level! With multiple models to choose from, SwissPL gave me the control to inventively frame my own story while skillfully capturing my brand. Their concept is not only daring, it is unparalleled! I am sure you will enjoy your creation(s) as much as I have relished mine.”
