The first watch that we are going to be talking about today is the Michel Jordi watch. In 2004 Michel Jordi created the first ever twist lock system watch. This watch was the only one of its kind that opened up like a fan.

The next watch that we are going to discuss is the ever popular Omega brand watch. There are two reasons that this particular watch company has imprinted itself into watch history, the first reason being that it was the official timepiece of the 1931 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The second reason that this watch has made such a huge impact on watch history and the history of the world is that on the first landing of the 1969 moon landing this watch was worn.

Harry Winston watches is our next topic of discussion in today’s article. These watches made an impact on watch making history when their “Opus V” series became famous for being hand crafted and precisely timed by now famous watchmakers FP Journe and Greubel-Forsey et al. These watches sell for around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Now onto one of the most famous watches in all of history, the Rolex watch. This company which began in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and W Davis established their watch company called Wilsdorf and Davis. This company which in 1908 became Rolex was the first wrist watch company or pocket watch company to make a truly water proof watch, it is the “Oyster”. Rolex was also the first company to come out with an automatic date watch called the “Date just”, and the fist dive watch called the “submariner”.

All of the above mentioned watches are just famous examples of key players in wrist watch history. This is not to say that there are literally thousands of other watches and watchmakers who in some form or fashion have played important roles in making wrist watches the way that we see them today

The first clock that will be discussed today is the cuckoo clock. The cuckoo clock otherwise known as the black forest clock is famous for two reasons. The first reason that makes this clock so famous is that makes a very distinct sound like a “cuckoo” when the clock strikes either the hour or half hour. The second reason that these clocks are so famous is because they come from the coveted black forest regions of Germany.

The next wall clock on our agenda today is the mantle clock. This clock can come in a variety of ways but for the most part comes in the shape of a box of sorts. These clocks are more times than not set atop the mantle. This is of course where the timepiece gets its name. Often times these clocks are carved out of an elegant wood.

The grandfather clock is out next timepiece that we will be discussing today. This particular type of wall clock has been around for a long time and dates back to the 1656 with Christiaan Huygens being the first to build one. The way of telling that it is a grandfather clock is by the characteristic pendulum and intricate carvings or inlays that line the wood.

The pendulum wall clock is our last clock that we will be going over today. This clock movement is responsible for both the cuckoo clock and the grandfather clock’s mechanical workings. This timepiece movement was made famous by the book by Edgar Allan Poe.

So to recap the three clocks that we talked about today are all high quality handcrafted wall clocks. There are of course many other timepieces out there that are equally nice but these are just some of my favorites.

The first category of the day is the shape of a gents watch. This is particularly important in a gents wrist watch, and for that reason we will go over a couple examples of them.

The shape of a watch is imperative to the style that a man wants to present to the world. A round classic watch face shows that for the most part the man or gent is conservative and laid back. This is not always the case but in most cases it is. A watch face with a square or rectangular shows more of a modern or hip concern of the world. Meaning that the person cares more for a fashion sense and what is in style.

The next category that we will be going over is the size of a watch this can also say a bit about a man’s personality. Like most other things in life if the item that a gent has on display is larger than most then more than likely he is trying to over compensate for a lesser feature about himself. This can be a mental, physical or emotional feature. This is not always the case but is true more times than not. The size of gents pocket watches is for the most part going to be in the same size range, but one again the wrist watches are the ones that vary somewhat in size of watch face, and watch bands.

The color of a watch has a lot to do with the mood and natural color of the person who is wearing it. If it is a soft earth tone or silver or black then more often than not the person is a conservative who likes to be in style but not on the edges of style. On the other hand a watch that has zebra print of neon pink watch bands is usually going to be more of a outgoing, and not afraid to try different things kind of person. These of course can be totally wrong it all just depends on the type of person wearing them.

Whether it is a gents leather strap watch or a gents stainless steel watch picking out and wearing a watch have a lot to do with what the watch is made out of. There are many different types of watches out there that have either leather straps, stainless steel straps or are made out of some special metal such as titanium or platinum. The material of a fine quality gents watch should be as unique as the person who is wearing it.

The style of a man’s watch has a lot to do with the gents own personal style. A gent’s pocket watch for example says that he is an old fashioned man who likes things to be as they were. While a modern steampunk wrist watch says that the person is a modernist and a dreamer who likes to live in a ever growing future.
