Wristwatches - Speaks About Your Personality

Perhaps if you were living in the 14^th century, and had said that you would be able to tell the time without looking at the sun, or that men (and possibly women, if they would play their cards right) would carry clocks around on their wrists, you might rightly be burned for being a witch.

Apparently, we somehow went from being burned alive to having wristwatches that might eventually crawl their way out of existence, but more on that later…

How about we look at some wristwatch facts, like did you know?

1.      The world’s most expensive watch (which was a pocket watch) sold for about $11 million.

2.       Horology isn’t the study of, you know, but is in fact the study of measuring time.

3.       In horological terms, if a watch displays anything apart from just the time, it’s known as a “
      Complication”… yes! It’s complicated.

4.      They’re not similar to clocks, although they’re really the same thing.

Apparently, wristwatches tell more than just the time, as they now have the ability to tell people whether they’re a rich snob, or a young lad just trying to make a buck. Take, for example, the Rolex. Back in the 1960’s, the brand was closely associated with professional divers and pilots (Top Gun theme song.)

So, how about we get right to it and see what wristwatches are saying about your personality.

Let’s start with none other than the…

Rolex

A wristwatch brand that has been the synonym for luxury, what does it say about you. Well, it simply says “Hey! Look at me, I’m important, so you better ask me what time it is, because I’m wearing a Rolex”. It appears that the Rolex has the potential of grabbing your obnoxious side and serve it up on a silver platter.

Then we have…

Tag Heuer 

Probably the most famous luxury wristwatch after the Rolex, Tag Heuer is known for its elegant style and exuberant characteristics, but what it’s really saying is, “Look, look, I’m just as important as the Rolex guy, ask me the time… I promise I won’t be as obnoxious, or may be I will”.

Perhaps, we’re overlooking the more humble…

Timex

Although not a luxurious brand, Timex is still known as one of the top wristwatch brands. It’s known for its top quality, yet affordable watches. What it says is, “I am who I am. I would love to be them (Rolex/Tag Heuer), but I think I’ll stay down here for a while, you know, just to find the meaning of life, what ever that means”.

 And let’s not forget the watch that’s been trying so hard…

Omega  

This one likes to play with the big boys, but what it fails to understand is that it’s really out of its league. Those who wear Omega wristwatches claim that it sets them apart from the others, it makes them look more distinguished, they seem calm and cool on the outside, but what it’s actually saying is, “Please, please, oh pretty please! Like me, for the love of God, please; I’m just as good as the Rolex snob, I would do anything, shine your shoes? Get the groceries, anything, but look at me!” whoa! That’s a scary place to be at.

Well, there you have it. The different brands and what they really say. So, what are you wearing today?
