7 reasons every man should start to wear a watch
1. Watches Are Convenient.
Phones don’t keep you punctual. Watches do. „I don’t need a watch because I have a phone”, is a common response from a generation who are now questioning the adverse effects of constant cellphone use. Fishing for a cell phone on regular occasions just to check the time looks desperate. A quick glance towards your wrist is a much classier way to keep tabs on time during a date or a meeting.
2. Watches Are Functional.
Any item inspired by the military has a functional use. Wrist watches included. Wrist watches were first used in the 19th century by the military to synchronize maneuvers during war. One of the big advantages of a watch – especially over a smartphone – is how long it can operate in the field. Many watches are made to either be self powered through motion or use a small amount of energy from a battery. Think years of maintenance free time telling… compare that to a smart phone’s 8 hours!
3. Watches Provide Simplicity.
The best watches don’t use the latest technology. They are powered by ingenious mechanical clockwork technology that predates electricity. So when your cellphone runs out battery – you can trust the technology that keeps running on your wrist. When you need to keep track of something as important as time – a unique device to measure and manage it is justified.
4. Watches Signal Style .
The range of acceptable jewelry for a man is limited. Many men are only going to be seen with three main accessories decorating their hands – a nice watch, a stylish pair of cuff links, and a simple wedding band if they’re married.
Watches can communicate a lot about the wearer’s personality.
5. Watches Embody Craftsmanship .
A wrist watch is more than a time-keeper. It is a symbol of tradition and history encased in a showpiece with extreme craftsmanship. Not many men realize that they are wearing pieces of art on their wrist.
6. Watches Make Great Heirlooms.
Not only is a timepiece the quintessential gift – it is the quintessential heirloom. No matter what your philosophy is on the end of life, we can all agree that people can live on through the memories of those that knew them.
Owning timepieces from a different era is a remembrance of people who lived before you. Having their watches makes you think of them, in a real way. They wore these same watches which show signs of use, care and and love.
7. Watches Help You Create A Relationship With Time.
Since the days of the sundial (and probably before) – men have been obsessed with devices that measure time. A reminder that our time is limited.
Beyond the technical and mechanical intricacies of a watch – men are fascinated by these devices that claim to mark and control time.
