You now what I found out today? The first designer watches were actually designed for women. Shortly after the American Civil War, ladies “bracelet watches” were marketed and sold. It wasn’t until 1904 that aviator Alberto Santos-Bumont had a wrist watch designed for him. Up to that point, men were stuck with pocket-watches. Since then, the market has grown and there are all kinds of mens gold watches and designer watches available.

In my research, I came across the term “mens jewelry.” I’m not sure I like that term – it kind of sounds a little bit sissy to me. Whatever. The other night when I was looking at watches with my dad – I did notice how some of the different watches combined manly elegance with rugged durability. If that makes it jewelry, then I guess you can call it that. As far as I’m concerned – it’s still just a watch for men.

My mom loves jewelry. I don’t want to give you the wrong impression of her. She doesn’t go overboard with jewelry, but I know her – she likes “bling.”

Dad, on the other hand – well, he wears his wedding band and that’s about it. So when he wants to dress up nice to take mom out on a date, he usually grabs one of his designer watches. I think he does it because mom likes it.

I have an uncle who’s retired. The company he worked for would give out mens gold watches to employees who’d worked there for 40 years. And it really is a cool looking watch. Although 40 years seems like a long time to wait for a watch. I guess that’s something they used to do back in the “good old day.” Dad says it’s not very common these days.

So, if I want to get my own mens gold watch – I’ll have to earn some money and save up for one. I’m okay with that…

In the meantime, I’m going to continue learning more about designer watches. Mostly because I want one someday – and I want to make a good decision when the time comes.

Watches fascinate me.  I was 8 years old when I got my first watch, I was even younger when I started begging my parents for one.  My first watch was not a designer watch.  It was a Batman watch.  It was okay, but I really liked looking at the fancier mens designer watches.  Like I said, they fascinate me.

I really like the designer watches where you can see the gears moving.  They’re so intricate and complicated.  It’s hard for me to even imagine someone putting them together.  Just tonight, my dad and I were looking at some very fancy mens designer watches.  Both of us stared at one of those watches for several minutes, just admiring the precision of the moving parts.  Dad was talking about engineering and some of the history of watch-making.  Some of it’s a little over my head, but it’s all very interesting.

Now the watch we were looking at was not a digital watch.  That’s what I have right now.

I like it because it does more than just tell me the time.  I use the alarms and the stopwatch.  Plus it has a timer – and a light.  Those are all features I like right now.

But, I have to say – there’s something really cool about those fancy designer watches.

Of the watches we were looking at tonight – there were some in stainless steel, some in silver, even some in 24 carrot gold.  One of these days, I’d really like to buy a fancy watch like that.  I think I like the look of stainless steel.  And, I want to be able to see the gears and parts moving inside.  I might only wear it on special occasions, and maybe to church.  So, I’ll keep my digital watch around for awhile. 

In the meantime, I’m going to learn more about what makes mens designer watches tick – and I’ll share what I am learning here.
