Like everything else the way we tell time has changed. The first watch was a first self-winding mechanism, for pocket watches, it was invented in 1770. About 150 years later a self winding watch was even invented. In all cases those watches turned from being just time pieces to symbols of status. What could rival the grandeur and sophistication of the nobleman who used his pocket watch to tell the time. When he pulled out the watch the time was not the most important thing on his mind. His golden pocket watch defined who he was in comparison to his peers. It became a custom to give a golden pocket watch to someone who was retiring, that was his status symbol.
The more things change the more they stay the same. Status is everthing when it comes to a time piece. today in fact most people do not use watches at all to tell the time. Many use thier cellphones or hand held computers for telling the time. For special occasions these people and others don Jewelry and beautiful watches to impress and stand out.
We all need to do this from time to time. For that special occasion we need that special watch tie or cuff links to feel dressed up and special.
Some people have the need but not the means to do this properly.Companies who can supply quality great looking time pieces can help some who are in dire straits.
Of all the brand watches it seems the Rolex look has become the most dominant in the world of men’s watches. Even a recognized replica Rolex watch goes a long way to making someones special event really special.Who needs watches anymore?
We all do.
