Are you a man looking for a fashion statement without going for the overdrive? You can be discreet but upbeat with pocket watches. The women will find you intriguing and very macho each time you fish out your small gold timepiece from your vest pocket.
Macho Fashion Sense
Pocket watches were invented back in the 1500s; these were cumbersome pieces and had to be worn like a necklace. Somebody came up with a better idea and invented gold chains or fobs to be attached to the watch. At that time, wristwatches were deemed feminine so these pocket timepieces were the rage in men’s accessories.
These pocket watches were crafted in gold, silver, and platinum and adorned with sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. During this era, gentlemen from wealthy families owned these traditional time pieces that reflected their clout and power. These were valued family heirlooms, passed from the fathers to their eldest sons.
Fortunately, in this generation, the average Joe can buy himself a pocket watch to show he’s got the fashion flair and the savvy. It’s also no longer necessary to flex his muscles or show off that he’s got what it takes to be a hunk. Decked in his finery, there would be no opportunity to do that. His option is to try those pocket watches to match the ambience.
Just imagine Brad Pitt in a smashing suit flicking a gold pocket watch open. That will send the girls drooling. You don’t have to be a Brad Pitt to catch the girls’ interest. Women, who know the value of these watches, will eye you with interest, whether you have one of those open-faced or hunter case time pieces. Be a Wyatt Earp with your new dashing pocket timepiece.
