LEGENDARY composer and conductor Carl Davis is the proud owner of a new Swiss watch, thanks to Blackburn jeweller Peter Jackson.

The shop owner has for 10 years sponsored the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's Blackburn Classics' concerts at King George's Hall.

So to mark the milestone - as well as the company's 25th anniversary - Mr Jackson presented the £1,500 Rado timepiece to Mr Davis, who was conducting the orchestra for its latest Blackburn concert - a selection of big movie themes.
