The synchronized watches on the officers' wrists pointed to the fatal
second that was planned for the attack.
“Time!”
The guns lifted in unison and bullets rained down.
The company officers signaled with their whistles as men rose from the
trenches and rushed forward.
Another attack timed to perfection.
It was during World War I – soldiers tired of fishing around their pockets
to find the ubiquitous pocket watch started wearing it on a bracelet on
their wrists.
Until then, a watch worn on a bracelet was considered strictly women's
fashion
Initially ridiculed by the public as a silly trend – wrist watches soon
became the norm as their practicality made pocket watches obsolete.
Some might argue that wrist watches are slowly becoming obsolete.
Why should a modern man wear a wrist watch when he could easily
consult his phone for a quick time-check?

- Watches Are Convenient
Phones don’t keep you punctual. Watches do.
A wrist watch is the most convenient way to tell the time.
I don’t need a watch because I have a phone, is a common response
from a generation who are now questioning the adverse effects of
constant cellphone use. Fishing for a cell phone on regular occasions
just to check the time looks desperate.

A quick glance towards your wrist is a much classier way to keep tabs
on time during a date or a meeting. Not to mention how rude it would
seem to your companions if you pulled out your phone during a
conversation.
On other occasions where it's advisable to leave the phone concealed –
like the beach, a funeral, a wedding, a watch is a much more subtle and
convenient way to check time.
- Watches Are Functional
Any item inspired by the military has a functional use. Wrist watches
included.
Wrist watches were first used in the 19th century by the military to
synchronize maneuvers during war. Since then, specialized watches
have been used in the depths of the ocean by divers and high up in the
sky by aviators.
One of the big advantages of a watch – especially over a smartphone –
is how long it can operate in the field. Many watches are made to either
be self powered through motion or use a small amount of energy from a
battery. Think years of maintenance free time telling…..compare that to
a smart phone's 8 hours!

A complicated watch is designed with features beyond the basic
function of displaying the time and date. Such a functionality is called a
complication. Two of the popular complications are the chronograph,
which allows the watch to function as a stopwatch and the moonphase
complication, which displays the lunar phase. - Watches Provide Simplicity
The best watches don’t use the latest technology. They are powered by
ingenious mechanical clockwork technology that predates electricity. So
when your cellphone runs out of battery – you can trust the technology
that keeps running on your wrist.
When you wear a watch – it’s less likely you will fall back on your phone
as a distraction. Often, checking the phone for time results in a
rabbit-trail of activities including checking every messenger app, email
and Facebook.
When you need to keep track of something as important as time – a
unique device to measure and manage it is justified. - Watches Signal Style
The range of acceptable jewelry for a man is limited. Many men are only
going to be seen with three main accessories decorating their hands – a
nice watch, a stylish pair of cuff links, and a simple wedding band if
they're married.
In addition to helping wearers stick to their schedules, wristwatches
make it easier for them to display their sense of style. They are a form of
self-expression – reflecting a hint of danger, adventure and sports
depending on the make of the watch. - Watches Embody Craftsmanship
A wrist watch is more than a time-keeper. It is a symbol of tradition and
history encased in a showpiece with extreme craftsmanship.
Not many men realize that they are wearing pieces of art on their wrist.
Some watch houses have four craftsmen working on one watch for
several months – designing complex pieces of technology by hand.
It's detailed art at the higher end of human ingenuity and creativity.
An analog watch has a simple and consistent mechanism. The way of
expressing it is where the bulk of the creativity comes in. Watch design
is inherently artistic. There is a lot of generic and non-inspiring watch
styles out there, but the best stuff is beautiful and how often do you call
a tool beautiful? - Watches Make Great Heirlooms
Not only is a timepiece the quintessential gift – it is the quintessential
heirloom. No matter what your philosophy is on the end of life, we can
all agree that people can live on through the memories of those that
knew them.
Owning timepieces from a different era is a remembrance of people who
lived before you. Having their watches makes you think of them, in a real
way. They wore these same watches which show signs of use, care and
love.
A watch collection is also a legacy. It doesn't necessarily have to be
worth a mini treasure – but leaving your watch(es) to someone you care
about is in essence passing on values that were important to you, to
someone else. - Watches Help You Create A Relationship With Time
