Six Men's Watches Your Guy Will Flip For
Timepieces were one of the first luxury items that fashionable men collected as a sign of status. Of course, they did have a practical purpose, but for more than three centuries, an ornate pocket watch was the easiest way to spot a gentleman. In the end, however, practicality won out. The wrist watch all but supplanted the pocket watch during the First World War, because pocket watches couldn't survive in the trenches.
Though they were thought about undignified and even unmanly, the accessibility and convenience of the wristwatch was undeniable, especially when three-piece suits became less fashionable.You see, these suits had a vest pocket that was specifically designed to hold a pocket watch. But when they went out of style, men had to carry them in their pants pockets, which was uncomfortable and a bit undignified. In the end, most men followed the trend and purchased wrist watches.
Fortunately, wristwatches became more beloved after the war. Much like the pocket watches of old, most of them were designed by expert horologists as luxury items for gentlemen. The wristwatch would remain out of the grasp of the tasteless man until the Quartz Revolution of the 1970s. These inexpensive electronic watches nearly supplanted the former automated watch.Like most new technologies, these new watches had their pros and cons. The fact that they were affordable and accurate was their main selling point. On the con side, quartz watches were cheap, in some cases nearly disposable.
By comparison, an old-fashioned automated watch can last for decades and can be passed on from father to son. When it comes to choosing a contemporary watch for your guy, there are any things to consider. First and most importantly, you should know what kind of watch he needs. Most men have at least two watches these days: one for work and one for play. The one for work typically has a leather or metal band and is more stylish, while the one for sport or the outdoors often has a rubber band and is water resistant. We have chosen six timepieces (three for work and three for recreation) that will last.
Tissot Sport V8 Chronograph
For men who actual enjoy the heft of a potential timepiece, the Tissot Sport V8 Chronograph fits the bill. At an improbable two pounds, the wearer will get a workout every time he checks the time. But the Tissot offers more than mere pounds. It is a bit of a hybrid when it comes to environment. While it is a sport watch that offers scratch resistant sapphire and water resistance up to 100 meters, the timepiece is also quite stylish. It has a brown leather strap, a calendar window, and a tachymeter. In short, it can be worn at the office.
The Capital from Nixon
Designed for the boardroom, the Capital by Nixon has a sleek, excellent look. It is analogue watch, which means there are no numbers. The stainless steel strap and case convey belief and seriousness. The Capital is not a watch that was designed for the outdoors. Although it is water resistant up to 30 meters, we wouldn't advise taking it on a rafting trip.
Fossil Leather Chronograph
For more than a quarter of a century, Fossil has been gift affordable dress watches for less. While it will never be mistaken, the handsome Leather Chronograph men's watch from Fossil has a stainless steel case, a brown leather strap, date window, and hour indices.Though not as durable as an automatic, Fossil has belief in its Quartz movement and offers an impressive 11-year warranty.
Kenneth Cole New York Kc1491
Leave it to a young designer from Brooklyn, New York to create a watch that is a exquisite admixture of contemporary fashion and old-world craftsmanship. The New York Kc1491 is one of the few automated watches we have seen that was made for the outdoors. Water resistant up to 330 feet, the timepiece meets the rigorous standards of a professional diving watch. Its automated movement assures decades of accurate timekeeping and the scratch resistant mineral crystal watch face can stand up to roughly anything.
Nautica Stainless Steel Watch
With a name like Nautica, it had to be a sport watch. The Nautica Stainless Steel watch for men was designed for sport. In particular, it was made to quantum time over distance. The tachymeter scale on the outside of the dial can be used to narrative your time in the mile or how long it took you to complete ten laps. The strap is rubber and the hour hands are luminous, so you can see them in the dark. Water resistance of up to 330 feet is suitable for swimming and shallow diving.
Swiss Army Cavalry
If you're finding for a simple, professional-looking watch that can be worn at the office or even on more casual occasions, the Swiss Army men's Cavalry leather watch may be right for you. With a excellent design, easy to read numbers, and a date window, it straddles the line in the middle of simplicity and sophistication.What have we learned about the contemporary watch today? Well, we've discovered that although they have gone from the pocket to the wrist, form and craftsmanship is no less prominent now than it was in the 16th century. We also learned that the contemporary man should have at least two watches-one for work and one for play.
