Made famous by his ‘Virgin’ company, Sir Richard Branson has teamed up with another business to release a specially made watch. The watch named the ‘Bulova Accutron’ is limited edition and only a certain few will be produced. Made in only 46mm the watch displays a GMT hand plus a world time function for the person who is all about travel. The watch is solely produced from titanium, giving it a beautiful finish and glow when it’s on your wrist.

This is not the only style of watch to be marketed my Branson himself, there are several other makes that have a poster board featuring Sir Branson. With the tag line of ‘Swiss Made, Self Made’ referring to the watch and then Branson himself, it should attract a lot of attention for the businessman who is prone to travelling.

The display on the dial is beautiful with blue hands that have a glow in the dark attraction to them and a red hand that has a crescent moon on the end of it to indicate the times around the world. On the skirting of the face there are the major capitals and cities around the world that are peoples favourite destinations. Being based on knowing what time it is around the world, the back panel is engraved with longitude and latitude lines to give it an extra worldly feel about it.

Earlier in the year Sir Richard Branson was named the ambassador of Bulova watches, which is a Japanese based company. Branson mentioned that any of the money he makes from this will go straight to his Virgin Unite Charity, this includes any money made from the sales of the watch as well.

Purchasing one of these watches doesn't mean you'll get a free upgrade to first class if you flash it to the air hostess.
