I have recently been trialling the Powerbalance – the hologram therapy bracelet favoured by Mr Beckham and other high profile celebs.
I was a sceptical as ever, but thought it would do no harm to wear it for two weeks. With a little reluctance, I must admit this silicone band with a hologram embedded into it, seems to be working.
I’m a big guy, but just lately, I feel great. Agile as Bruce Lee at his peak, as graceful as Rudolf Nureyev and as fit as Jane Fonda.
The silicone band, that is proving to be a real hit worldwide, may not appeal to everyone. It’s a little casual, so It is fantastic that leading luxury watch maker Philip Stein has released the signature range. A luxury therapeutic alternative. The best womens and best mens watches.
Philip Stein, Classic Chronograph watch with blue leather strap, from £405
Philip Stein watches have a clinically proven natural frequency technology embedded into the back in the form of a small, round disk. This introduces the natural Earth frequencies to the wearer promoting better sleep, reduced stress and enhanced concentration.
Available with a steel or gold case, each one comes with an exchangeable strap so you can have a different one to match each outfit or occasion.
Three of the Philip Stein Classic Signature range, from £295
Recent clinical trials suggest that Philip Stein watches are as good, if not better, than the Powerbalance band –
“Study Responders wearing the Natural Frequency Technology found in Philip Stein Watches fell asleep faster, stayed asleep longer and felt more refreshed in the morning”
The signature collection has some of the most unique and useful designs, with double dial features. The accessorising features are endless and will appeal to all fashion conscious watch wearers out there.
In a different class to the Powerbalance band altogether. It seems extraordinary that this luxury timepiece can provide well-being benefits as well as the time but if we can feel better by simply wearing it, then surely it’s worth a try!
Watches can be bought online at http://www.philipstein.com. Prices start from £295 up to £2820. For a luxury watch UK cannot offer anything else like this range.

Luxury Sports Watches are the domain of Linde Werdelin. Since 2002, Morten Linde and Jorn Werdelin’s watch making company have incorporated everything good to make the best luxury timepiece possible – the very best of Swiss watch making and craftsmanship combined with innovative Danish design and avant-garde technology.
The end results are impressive.
By combining both analogue and digital technologies, Linde Werdelin have produced the best mens watches and precision instruments.
Now is the time of the limited, special edition - the 3-Timer Racing series. This is based on previous model 3-Timer GMT, but the launch of this very special male timepiece coincided with the Grand Prix in Singapore.
As a nod to this GP edition, the sport wrist watches new series has the model name ‘Racing’ engraved on the case-back and is available in two colour variations of red and yellow limited to nine pieces for each colour.
The design of the 3- timer is well thought out and even better executed. The indexes are placed closer to the edge of the dial while the bidirectional 24-hour bezel is polished on the facets while the red or yellow 24-hour markings correspond to the colour details on the case screws and calfskin straps.
Each Linde Werdelin watch has the capacity to attach dive and ski instruments. The Rock and The Reef instruments securely clip on top of the watch to amplify the sporting experience whether in the mountains or in the sea respectively.
These very special watches also carry an automatic mechanical movement and have a 42-hour power reserve.
The best sports watch I have seen by a long chalk.
The 3-Timer Racing series are available from http://www.ecollezione.com and LindeWerdelin.com, 3-Timer Racing Series 9 pcs of each colour - €5,280

If You are looking for a luxury Swiss watch, you need to widen your search to include these stunning pieces. Scottish Jewellers ROX are effortlessly current, exciting and oh so bang on trend. Now Rox are proud to announce the release of Welder K24, K25 and K29 series watches, designed by the Iconic Italo Fontana - creator of the timeless timepiece, The UBoat.
In 1942, the Italian Government commissioned Italo Fontana to design a watch to be used by the Navy. Fontana then concentrated on a watch that was big enough to be read instantly in any weather and light conditions - The UBoat watch was born.
From here, The Uboat watch has gone from strength to strength. Avid collectors of the original watches are joined by appreciators of the design and functionality, making the the original and new Uboat watches highly desireable.
The Welder is a new range designed by Fontana, and there are strong similarities to the U boat. The same strong character and rugged look give a nod to the war time original.
Welder K24 3202, £440
Each Welder watch now houses a Japanese quartz movement, for a functional reliability. Each model in the collection also comes with an extra strap and a watertight “toolbox”. Interchangeable faces will also appeal to the modern man.
These watches are a “proper” Man’s watch - indeed, If Action Man was real, A Welder would be on his wrist.
With Original and New U Boats going for large fees, the Welder gives us all the chance to own a Fontana original timepiece. I must admit, I have my eye on the watch below.
