Time is important to all of us. We live our lives by the watch, literally. A watch is not just a timepiece, it’s also a statement about your character and it tells people about your status in the world. It is the single most important accessory a man can own--it is an essential style element. Typically one thinks of a watch as a wrist watch, a time keeping device strapped to the arm by means of a band or chain. Though some men still wear pocket watches for their aesthetic charm, wrist watches have dominated the watch industry for nearly a hundred years. Ever since the Egyptians used sundials to mark the solar calendar, humankind has asked, "Do you have the time?" It became much easier to find the time in 1868 when Patek Philippe & Co. of Switzerland crafted the first wrist watch.
Choosing a watch can be tricky. Whether it’s for yourself or someone else, you’ll probably come across a variety of styles and functions which you may have never considered before. Even the best-dressed men can get tripped up when it comes to buying the right watch. There are a variety of watches on the market today, from high end designs to athletic brands. Watches often feature a variety of features, especially sport watches which can often include stopwatches, duel time zones asall watches today include some sort of date function, and many have extra playful features. Modern watch designs can range from the traditional conservative look we all know to neon colours, using modern materials such as plastics and even hemp bands. Watches come in such a variety of choices, colours and designs anyone can find a watch they really love.
