Sunday challenge 104 - Out of place Gecko and Sekonda watch Individually hand crafted from recycled metal drums and hand painted by the talented artisans from Haiti, each Gecko has it’s own personality. Sekonda is a British brand which was established in 1966 to offer a collection of mechanical watches which were manufactured in Russia. With extensive marketing support and superb customer service Sekonda quickly became a household name. The introduction of the quartz movement saw manufacture moved to Hong Kong and this enabled Sekonda to introduce more fashionable styles. This combination and continued marketing support led to Sekonda becoming the best selling watch brand in units in the UK in 1988, a position that is still held today. sekonda.co.uk accessed 2014
