Dunkirk Watch

Todays Thought

Very few established institutions, governments, and constitutions ... are ever destroyed by their enemies until they have been corrupted and weakened by their friends. 

-Walter Lippmann, journalist (23 Sep 1889-1974)

Todays Thought

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age. 

-Sophia Loren, actor and singer (b. 20 Sep 1934)

Todays Gadget

 Sherwood Phileas - Red/Bracelet

The Phileas watch is a testament to Sherwood's commitment to quality and craftsmanship and an evolution from the first watch in our range, The Commander. Every aspect of the watch exudes excellence, from its robust stainless steel case to the intricate details on the dial.
 
The GMT hand, adorned half-moon lumed tip, and the second timezone in the centre add a touch of decadence to the overall design - while serving a practical purpose in making sure you reach your destination right on time - just as Phileas Fogg eventually did.

Todays Thought

A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization. 

-Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (18 Sep 1709-1784)
