#1. A watch is success
There is no woman who does not like to see a man wearing a watch. In its most practical sense, a watch is a tool for counting time, an important factor in many areas of life. Some say that now that mobile phones display the date and time, there is no need for a watch. But on reflection, checking the time on a phone takes quite a lot of time when you have to take it out and put it away, especially when you are driving, where this action makes you lose focus. In addition, if you are not careful, having a phone snatched, especially an expensive one, is quite likely on a crowded street.
So what is more convenient than a quick glance at the watch on your wrist? A watch also carries great significance for a man's work, which always demands punctuality. It is a plus and an advantage when going to an interview or meeting a partner if a man owns a watch. Besides, this important accessory is always a must-have item for men in women's eyes. Clearly, a watch is not only practical but also helps you score points in a great many situations.
#2. Fashion significance
It is no exaggeration to say that a man lacks elegance without a watch. A safe item that is not picky about clothing, a watch makes men shine with just its simple presence. Together with the belt and shoes, a suitable watch will do the job of balancing the whole look perfectly if you know how to coordinate colours harmoniously and elegantly. A brown leather watch matched with other accessories will bring a truly fresh and captivating image. A watch also helps a stiff suit become softer and more appealing to friends and colleagues, women in particular.
No fashion devotee would dare forget the importance and irresistible magic of this accessory. A watch is ready to expose you as a sloppy person or to honour you as a gentleman, with just its presence. That is why famous fashion houses spend a great deal of time crafting and creating ever more practical and fashionable watch models to pamper their discerning, stylish clients.
#3. A truly “symbolic” symbol
Most politicians, billionaires, successful businessmen and famous stars around the world own many wristwatches. In this realm, a watch is symbolic and shows a man's power. US President Barack Obama owns a Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph President, made specially for the US Secret Service, while President Vladimir Putin has a watch collection worth up to USD 700,000, with famous brands such as the Blancpain Leman Aqua Lung Grande Date, the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar and the Blancpain Leman Flyback...
People who are truly passionate about watches tend to buy a whole collection to match their daily work and leisure schedule: a sports watch for physical activities, a leather strap for weekend leisure, and a gold-plated or gem-set one for important meetings. From the watch on the wrist, by brand, model line, year of release or limited-edition production..., people can judge the social standing, influence and financial capacity of the person who owns it.
However, for those of average or lower means, a watch is certainly not a luxury item, because at whatever price level, the person facing you will judge you to be neat, organized and very gentlemanly.
