Sir Jim Ratcliffe has joined a swathe of wealthy individuals who have decided to stop flaunting their luxury watches in London as thousands get stolen every year. A stubborn rise in watch robberies has scared Londoners from showing off their timepieces, and Ratcliffe, who regularly works in the city, has become the most high-profile individual to declare a change in behavior when he's walking in the capital. "I can't wear a watch in London, and I just need to be a bit wary, a bit careful," Ratcliffe told the Sunday Times.
Ratcliffe, one of the wealthiest people in the U.K., recounted a murder over a Rolex picked up on Ineos's CCTV cameras at the group's headquarters in Knightsbridge.
"He died in a pool of blood because somebody tried to take his Rolex and he resisted. About a year ago we had three guys in hoodies, with machetes, right outside the office, opposite Harrods." The Ineos CEO and minority owner of Manchester United lamented police officers for failing to.
