As the discerning gent has a penchant for a slick timepiece to adorn his wrist real estate, Elysium Magazine picks out three exquisite examples to blow all, or part, of your hard earned bonus on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Glycine Airman No.1<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8764\/17845842556_495d2c1752_d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>Reintroduced in its original dimensions, the Airman has caused excitement amongst timepiece aficionados.
