I love watches. I really do. I notice things like timepieces, chronographs and while that might seem so “old school” in this techno-driven age that we live in, there’s value, luxury and presentation that make a watch, a timepiece, a chronograph significant in terms of your personal style and how people perceive you– and how you perceive you. I think it’s nifty to wear a watch because while extremely functional (and not having to dig into the bag for my cell ) it’s also a bit of jewelry that’s subtle yet makes that statement about my personal style. (Me with the really nice watches as well as green moc croc and orange fabric watchbands with matching watch faces makes a quirky, eclectic statement)
