ROTARY WATCHES AND PROSTATE CANCER UK CONTINUE THEIR PARTNERSHIP. A Wonderful Father’s Day Gift rotarywatches.com

INTRODUCING THE 1IN4

ROTARY WATCHES AND PROSTATE CANCER UK CONTINUE THEIR PARTNERSHIP

Last year, Rotary Watches partnered with Prostate Cancer UK to launch the hugely successful 1IN8 watch, a limited edition timepiece that drew attention to how 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Now, Rotary Watches is proud to introduce the next chapter in its two year partnership with the UK’s leading men’s health charity: the Limited Edition 1IN4 watch.

1 in 4 black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, a shockingly high number. To
raise awareness that black men face a higher risk of prostate cancer, Rotary Watches has designed the
Limited Edition 1IN4 watch in collaboration with property expert, writer and TV presenter Kunle Barker.

Kunle Barker became a friend of Rotary Watches upon the launch of the Limited Edition 1IN8. Keen to
help raise awareness, Kunle proudly wore the iconic Man of Men pin with the 1IN8 whilst filming last year, and showcased the iconic Limited Edition watch across his social media platforms to encourage his
followers to learn more about prostate cancer and the risks involved.

When it came to choosing a collaborator for the 1IN4’s design and launch, Kunle was a natural fit.
His father, Pedro is currently undergoing treatment for prostate cancer and although the cancer was
thankfully caught early, Kunle was of course shaken by the news. Like many people, he was unaware of
the higher risks of prostate cancer amongst black men.

Spurred by the turn in his father’s health, and acknowledging his own age, ethnicity and family history, Kunle has since become more informed and taken a proactive approach to his own health.

He says: “Since my dad’s diagnosis, I no longer take my health for granted. I also now want to make more men aware of their health and risks of prostate cancer, and encourage them to see their GP if they have any worries or concerns about the disease. Don’t be shy or embarrassed – think of the bigger picture. Catching prostate cancer early will only benefit you in the long run.

I’m really happy that we’re getting a positive message out there through the Rotary x Prostate Cancer UK Limited Edition 1IN4 watch and encouraging more black men to speak to their GPs about prostate cancer.”

Featuring exceptional details to honour the charity and all that it represents, the Limited Edition 1IN4 is truly a collector’s item that can be worn by anybody, with a style that is suitable for any occasion. With durability at the forefront of its design, the watch is made with high-quality 304L grade stainless steel and a 40mm case that houses a reliable Miyota 2035 quartz movement.

The matte black dial showcases elegant silver Roman numeral indices and gives way to spotlight the classic cathedral hands and second hand which is crafted in Prostate Cancer UK’s signature blue. In a striking design choice, the 1 o’clock Roman index is made in the same blue, a perfect partner to the charity’s Man of Men icon that sits at 4 o’clock to signify the 1 in 4 men message.

In an additional unique feature, a larger Man of Men icon is subtly engraved on the left side of the dial, of which the outer rim is coloured in the Prostate Cancer UK’s blue. To protect these distinct details, the Limited Edition 1IN4 is installed with scratchresistant sapphire glass. The crown is also hidden to streamline the round silhouette of the case, and the 3-link stainless steel bracelet is tapered stylishly.

Prostate Cancer UK’s famous logo featuring the Man of Men icon is inscribed on the case back in celebration of their invaluable work, along with a number out of 1,000 to signal which unique watch it is. Water resistant to 100m, the watch is therefore perfect for people who like to be on the move in different environments.

In talking about the Limited Edition 1IN4’s purpose to raise money and awareness, Kunle Barker hinges on the watch’s striking look: “It’s very elegant and suitable for all occasions. The recognised Man of Men icon starts conversations about prostate cancer risk, which is exactly what we’re trying to achieve. We need to break the taboo around prostate cancer and get people talking.”

With only 1,000 pieces made, Rotary will donate 10 percent + VAT from the sale of every 1IN4 watch to
Prostate Cancer UK, which will go towards helping more black men understand their prostate cancer risk
and what they can do about it.

Nicola Tallett, Director of Fundraising and Supporter Engagement, at Prostate Cancer UK, said:

“As part of our continuing partnership with Rotary Watches, we’re delighted at the launch of the striking Limited Edition 1IN4 watch and very grateful to Rotary and to Kunle for sharing his family’s story through this timepiece.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and we want a future where lives aren’t limited by
it. That’s why this collaboration is important in raising awareness of prostate cancer and supporting our mission to help more people understand the increased 1 in 4 risk of the disease in the black community.”

The Limited Edition 1IN4 Rotary x Prostate Cancer UK timepiece in collaboration with Kunle Barker is £199.00 and will be available to pre-order from September 2022 at www.rotarywatches.com, and officially launches in October 2022 – available at www.fhinds.co.uk, F. Hinds stores nationwide and www.rotarywatches.com.

THE LOST DIARY OF
SAMUEL PEPYS
JACK JEWERS

Moonflower Books| 11th May 2023 | £8.99| Paperback

PRAISE FOR JACK JEWERS

An impressive debut. The Times

Spirited writing, vibrant characters, visceral backdrops and swashbuckling action. Woman and Home

Debuts don’t come better than this. Like the best historical novelists, his characters are as relevant today as they were 350 years ago.
Irish Independent

Fits the zeitgeist and offers a likeable hero in the flawed, kind and courageous Pepys: an engaging summer read. Country Life

Jewers excels in this splendid adventure with the promise of more to come. The Financial Times

Rich in period detail, a rattling good read. The Church Times

Samuel Pepys Diary has enthralled readers for centuries with its audacious wit, gripping detail, and indecent assignations. Pepys stopped writing at the age of 36. Or did he? This action-packed historical thriller imagines what might have happened next.

The Lost Diary of Samuel Pepys by Jack Jewers picks up a week after Pepys’ last diary entry, and follows Pepys on a mission to investigate the death of a Crown agent in Portsmouth – the home of the Royal Navy. Events spiral out of control, embroiling Pepys in a deadly plot that reaches higher than he ever could have imagined. And along the way he is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about who he is and what he really believes…

Jack Jewers reimagines one of Britain’s greatest historical figures through a 21st century lens. Readers will love how Pepys not only turns detective but must confront his own prejudices along the way. What better allies for one of history’s most infamous womanizers than a secret society of dangerous outlaws, made up entirely of women?

It is the summer of 1669 and England is in dire straits. The treasury’s coffers are bare and tensions with the powerful Dutch Republic are boiling over. And now, an investigator sent by the King to look into corruption at the Royal Navy has been brutally murdered.

Loathe to leave the pleasures of London, Samuel Pepys is sent dragging his feet to Portsmouth to find the truth about what happened. Aided by his faithful assistant, Will Hewer, he soon exposes the plot as the work of a Dutch spy. But has he got the right man? The truth may be much more sinister. And if the real killer isn’t found in time, then England could be thrown into a war that would have devastating consequences…

The modern diary as we know it owes its popularity to the 17th century diarist Samuel Pepys. Quite simply without Pepys’ secret diary, discovered 150 years after his death, there may have been no Bridget Jones, no Dracula, no Adrian Mole, and no Secret Diary of a Call Girl.

But this is no dry, lifeless old document. Pepys’ diaries have enthralled generations of readers with their exciting, often crude and frequently hilarious confessions about day-to-day life during the Restoration. From slating Shakespeare’s plays to detailing his secret love affairs, Pepys’ diary reads like a 17th century Hello! Magazine.

Pepys witnessed some of the most dramatic events in English history, from the return of Charles II to the horrors of the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London, but put his pen down for the last time in the early summer of 1669. Jack Jewers’ inventive crime caper, The Lost Diary of Samuel Pepys imagines what happened next.

For those unfamiliar with the Restoration period, this was when Charles II returned to the throne after Oliver Cromwell. It was a time of hedonism and excitement, which saw the theatres reopen and women take to the stage for the first time. Brothels and ale-houses could once more operate freely. But it was also an era rocked by disaster, from the Great Fire of London in 1666, to devastating wars with the Dutch – that England lost. It was the best of times, and the worst of times.
