Necessary Luxury

Roger Thompson General Manager Wray & Nephew

My BlackBerry is a must, for with over 20 different countries to visit annually this is my ‘keeping-in-touch’ essential without the load of a laptop. The BlackBerry also provides the perfect solution to communicate with staff stationed in different continents, affording me the option of tending to critical issues outside of Jamaican working hours.

My Dell laptop is my mobile office that holds the source of all information when travelling internationally. Then there is my Raymond Weil watch that makes a statement to those who know while empowering me with style and elegance. It also provides me with a mental boost when I’m interacting with powerful executives overseas.

My iPod Nano keeps me in touch with my favourite genres of music, including Reggae and Dancehall, during long flights.

Finally, there’s my Calvin Klein belt — an absolute must when travelling as it does not trigger the metal detectors at the airports.
