Concierge Group, Beyond service

Those who shop with us regularly will have noticed that we have a range of Hamilton watches called Riva. Riva, for those of you who don't know, is the legendary boat manufacturer and Hamilton has produced a range of watches bearing the Riva name.

As you would imagine, a watch bearing the name of a major manufacturer in the boating world is something very special indeed.

Sporting superbly finished cases, bracelets and straps, the Riva range is a truly luxurious watch. The boat deck effect dials, and the machined steel sub dials pay homage to the beautiful boats crafted by Riva. Containing automatic movements, the Riva range comes in different styles and with varying functions. A chronograph, power reserve and GMT are some of the variations of Riva watches that we are very pleased to have on sale in our store. We can also offer you some of the most competitive pricing on these watches, making them extremely good value.

Hamilton is no stranger to the limelight with appearances in over 300 movies, stars associated with Hamilton include Tom Hanks, Ben Affleck and Jessica Alba, an 'A' list if ever there was one. We suggest that if you are thinking of buying a Hamilton watch take a close look at the Riva. All Hamilton watches are superbly made, but these are a little bit special...

Approximately 75% of all gold mined in any one year is used to make Jewellery, including watches. It is said that all the gold ever mined could fit beneath the Eiffel tower in Paris, which is an indication of how rare gold actually is, despite its everyday appearance in our lives. Gold watches are almost exclusively made from 18ct gold, although some are produced in 9ct and 14ct. Housing Precious movements in a metal that will never tarnish or rust seems an emminently sensible choice. Today, watch manufacturers use a variety of materials to produce cases for watches but gold remains the most popular choice for the luxury watch.
