Watch you waiting for??


Your wristwatch does a whole lot of work in terms of telling the world what a wonderful person you are, but are you sending the right message? It can give off one of many effects, the main ones being that you are sporty, practical, egotistical, or cheap. Watches in today’s society are what sports cars were to the nineties, the more costly and complex the machinery, the more glory is projected onto your disposition.

If time is the meaning of man, then Omega watches are without doubt the definition of manliness. This brand of watches promotes and abets an impression of authority in a man, stressing a confidence which, whether intended or not, is kind of alluring. Even the most docile of personalities can be enhanced through the possession of this timepiece, as everyone is aware that the Omega watch is James Bond’s trademark timepiece of choice, creating an image of prestige and eminence.

However, for the average student watches such as this may be slightly out of the budget. Swatch Watches are an affordable, expressive and individualistic way of adding flair to any ensemble. Just like clothing, many of us want a watch which makes us stand out, while at the same time expressing who we are. Swatches are currently all the rage, exuding chic and suaveness, they are the best way for any guy to show his fashion-awareness on a student budget. They are Swiss-made and come with Swiss quality movements. The company brings out new designs twice a year, which helps keep the watches unique, as well as the fact that collectible editions by designers such as Vivienne Westwood.

One of the main results of the economic turndown is not, as one would first think, a slump in spending, but in fact a return to quality. It isn’t a question of consumers not wanting to spend, but if they are going to drop a considerable amount of money on a timepiece, they want to ensure that it is an investment rather than a fashion fancy. Watches such as Cartier, Breitling and the near clichéd Rolex can be an expensive endeavour, so it is a common conviction that consumers tend to avoid these brands, a mistake made by many.

For the look, the quality, the elegance, and the dependability — a luxury watch is definitely worth the investment. Other than its features, the style of a watch and its brand can make a massive difference. Not only does the watch act as an emblem of status, but it also provides a great ego-boost. You can admit it or not, but buying a brand watch allows for a serious thrust to your pride. Brand-name watches, such as Tag-Heuer, each have their own distinguishing styles and finish.

It is often said that the bearer of an expensive watch is compensating for something, but it is the converse which is true; an investment in a luxurious watch is a sign of intelligence and astuteness. For instance, Tag Heuer is renowned for its precision and accurateness amongst the sports world, thus it only makes sense for a sports fanatic to invest in such a purchase. Luxury watches come in an array of styles, some are simple and sober, while others are can be more ostentatious and create a sense of grandeur. The most important criteria to bear in mind when shopping for a luxury watch is its durability and purpose, whether it is high-end or basic, a watch should be long-lasting, resilient to damage and come with a guarantee.

The consummate watch is a debatable topic, and the answer ultimately lies in the individuals preferences. Whether you’re looking for a simple device which tells the time or seeking a timepiece to be a symbol of your principles, as long as your purchase isn’t heedless and you take time in your decision, there is a watch out there for every wrist, including yours.
