TIME TO DARE

Being fueled by the drive to achieve set goals can be overwhelming. It is at times like this I take solace in the belief that the uncertainty of this world makes life worth living.

While the greatest risk is the one not taken, there is no guide to individual challenges, you just have to put yourself out there and risk failure. I am on my path of firsts and I can’t wait to deliver my plans for the future of GMT Africa.

The Centre Seconds is the perfect companion as it provides time in its purest form, with the strikingly minimalistic seconds hand sweeping across the dial, reminding you of the fleeting nature of time.

My choice of this piece from H. Moser & Cie as our cover story is deliberate. This brand managed as a family business by the Meylan brothers has carved its niche as a daring and bold watch manufacturer. What some would refer to as provocative is regarded as almost necessary by this brand fully embracing imagination and creativity.

I have come to share in their adventurous spirit and thus confirm their drive to create for only those who dare to explore. As I continue to explore the unknown like you daily, without losing sense of time, I offer you this daring edition filled with dashing and thrilling content.
