I recently started an online business selling watch series, and while researching my market, I was overwhelmed at the vast range of styles and brands available.
You can pick any kind of watchseries to discover the different styled watches, color of watch faces, colour of watch bands, Stainless Steel watches, gold plated watches even wood watches are readily available. When you get into the expensive selection of watches you find a completely new assortment of watches with diamonds, solid gold watches, ceramic, and lots of other precious metal watches and jewel filled watches.
The watch moves vary too from manual to fully electronic with some newer style watches having heart monitors, temperature, rate, and a great deal of analytic information available. Then you will find dive watches moving down to 4000 Mtr, now that is a ways down but heavy sea divers need reliable watches which could deal with the pressure at these depths so that it's great to see a range of watch series that appeal for the individual as well as all the other divers who like the sea or cave diving.
Glamorous watchseries make up a sizable area of the business because everyone wants to look different from the woman next door. New watches come out there daily so keep watching or searching for your favorite style of watch, there is something out there to keep you happy when you look at each of the watches available at the moment. I saw a watch another day that has straps going in various directions to tell the time I was really intrigued about how it works, it would be a real talking point at a party or with your friends.
In the beginning people could only tell the time from sun dials that they placed over doorways of their houses or businesses, showing midday and the four stages of the sun as it travels through the day, another forms of clocks for telling time were water clocks, hard to transfer when you were on the transfer. In the 1500's with the creation of these springs, portable clocks and watches have been produced. 1 locksmith from Germany Peter Henlein created the"Nuremberg Eggs" that could be placed on the table instead of being suspended from the wall, they only had an hour as the minute hand was not introduced until much later and they lost time since the spring unwound however they had been widely popular with the wealthy individuals as they were a truly portable timepiece.
With the invention of the disgusting spring that the entire world of watch and clocks series took a giant leap into the forwards. Men had a watch on a chain that they kept in the pocket of their vest that was known as a fob pocket. Remember in the old movies, there will be someone standing at the train station taking out his watch on a gold chain from his fob pocket checking the moment, today the fob pockets are still on the vest of men's 3 piece suits. It wasn't until someone tied among those watches into his wrist with a piece of string so he could retained track of time and keep working he asked a watchmaker to make a watch he could wear his wrist, two or three lugs were attached to the faces of the watchseries and a strap was put on so he could wear it.
It took quite a while for this to become popular as the first real use was in the military and watches were worn by soldiers in order that they could synchronicity battle plans, check time without fumbling with a pocket watch, Soldiers wore watches at the Boer War and in WW1. After the Great War more guys were sporting watches as they had done during the war and it became recognized as a tribute to those who'd served their nations on the battle fields so from this time on girls were not the only ones sporting watches. By 1920 it was fashionable for men to wear a wristwatch and fresh layouts were made by an entire assortment of watchmakers, glass faces were replaced with plastics, different metals were used for the casing, minute palms were inserted and the rest is history.
When I was child, watches weren't really worn by children unless you were from the top class as most families could not afford to get their kids a watch, when out playing one day that I recall asking my friend what the time was neither of us had a watch so that he pulled his sleeve up appeared in his arm and said"A hair passed a freckle" and we burst out laughing, it reveals how far we have come within a brief time period. How many children have a watch today?
Two sailors we knew had only returned from Singapore and introduced these watches back for us as gifts I do recall they didn't last all that long maybe because I did not understand how to cure or look after it correctly, I likely over-wound it, breaking the main spring.
A few years later I had been given another opinion from a close friend of the family he was an American Pilot also it was a golden Lovably that I have to this day though I don't wear it. Every time I see or think about it, I see the person who gave it to me, unfortunately he passed away a brief time ago so he along with his watch are constantly on my mind.
Its funny once you have your wrist watch on, it becomes part of you, and you also don't give it another thought daily, you check it quite frequently for time doing this action without thinking about it. Then 1 day you leave your watch off your wrist and all day that you fret about where you abandon it and it nags you until it is back in your wrist. One time during my journeys I was in the airport in Paris and wanting to freshen up, went to the bathrooms, took off my watch, and had a quick wash and then walked off leaving my opinion behind. A few minutes later I looked to check the time for my flight and no opinion. I had such a strong feeling of loss when my watch was missing for this short time, it confirmed how much the watch meant to me.
A few months after I wasn't so lucky. I was on a ferry traveling from Italy to Greece, the exact same thing happened, washed my hands, left the lookout about the container then went on deck, so I soon understood that I had left the watch in the toilet but this time when I got back it was gone. I reported it missing and had it broadcast over the ships speakers but the person who took it didn't return it and I felt naked without it in my wrist, '' There was a strong feeling of loss, I figure we all have feelings like that when something is taken away from us, something we treasure. So look after your Watches.
The further I look into Watch Series I discover that they certainly have come a very long way in the sundials made in 500AD into the century we are living in now, going to the Moon and beyond, people love inventing new ideas and there's a good deal more discoveries to be made on how we compute TIME along with the humble watch will be traveling as fast as another discovery. Keep inventing.
