I suppose it is unsurprising that as we move further into the 21st Century that the wearing of watches seems a vestige of the past. After all, most everyone carries a cellphone and all of them have a time function. In addition, many people, especially more active business people carry netbooks or the like in their day-to-day coming and goings.
What used to be an "essential" to be fully dressed for work is now seen less and less in favour of tech pieces that forgive the pun, do not stand the test of time. Even though technology generally improves our lives there can be a cost, too. In the case of wristwatch-wearing the cost has been their increasing scarcity. And that can be a great loss because a great watch is not disposable. It can be worn by a father and passed on--still fully functional with timeless style--to his son
Since I can remember, my Dad has worn a watch and my spouse as well and my eldest son wears one to work. And speaking of work, I think one of the best reasons to wear a time piece is that you look so much more businesslike checking the time on a great-looking Victorinox Swiss Army watch for instance, then you do pulling out your cellphone and checking it. It's undoubtedly more convenient to simply pivot your wrist slightly to check the time as well. Plus no one is going to suspect you of wasting time on the job when you take a peek at your watch versus whipping out your cellphone.
If you haven't thought about watches for awhile I encourage you to check out this Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece:
This is the Swiss Army Summit XLT Chronograph. It's appealing both visually as a fine piece of functional jewelry.
- Made in Switzerland with precision Swiss analog quartz movement
- Mineral crystal
- Water resistant to 10 ATM (100 meters/330 feet)
- Stainless steel case
- Luminous hands and hour markers
- Screw-in caseback
- Date
- Unidirectional rotating bezel
- Chronograph
- Rubber strap
This watch would be my choice for either of my sons, one a businessman and the other a just-graduated high school student. It's rugged, functional and great-looking with features they'd both appreciate.(The mom in me thinks too, "That watch looks really well-built (and beautiful) I bet it will last forever!")
