This watch is one of my favourites and I would chose it to wear for the coronation because I wore it a few years ago to attend, as one of 8,000 guests, our late Queen Elizabeth's Buckingham Palace Royal Garden Party to share that honour with her tea and c...

I have had this one for a long time (15+ years). I got it when Peter was still there. He was very helpful in guiding me through the process.

I wish Peter was still involved with the business …

The Royal Oak is the answer for the Lady and I. We have the history of the term "Royal Oak". We have that fact that the King-to-be involved was Charles II. In the highly unlikely event we were invited to the Coronation, these would be worn. ...
