Types Of Gents Watches
February 22nd, 2010, Posted in pocket watches, watches, wrist watchesA lot can be learned about a man just from looking at the type of watch that he keeps on his person. Today we will be looking at some different aspects of gents’ watches. The main categories that we will be going over are shape, size, color, material, and style.
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.
