A man of 70 should wear a watch… why?
We see people in HK under 30 do not wear a
wristwatch anymore… seriously, that "Fruit" watch isn’t a real watch.
A real man at our age should wear a watch—a mechanical watch. That is a signal that cuts through all time.
I am not saying you need to wear a Swiss
timepiece worth HK$200,000. The point is, you wear a mechanical watch that
communicates and respects time.
It shows he carries rhythm in his life.
It does not depend on pulling out that
glowing thing from your pocket every time to check time.
Women love to see what you wear. Of course,
not just your watch, but also your shoes, trousers, and a decent white
button-down shirt.
But a real watch means a lot; it is jewelry
for men, a social ornament that she could spot from afar.
A vintage Calatrava, a Rolex dive watch, or
a Vacheron Constantin Dress watch—
She is reading your story about yourself
through the timepiece.
A leather strap Vacheron Constantin Dress
watch tells you are a thinker.
An IWC Pilot watch tells you are an
adventurer.
A stainless-steel tool watch tells you are
an operator.
A Dive watch tells you can handle pressure.
A thin gold repeater tells you are a
philosopher, artist or a poet.
It is more or less a choice you are playing
in your own life.
A vintage timepiece with
"tick-tock" that runs with time precisely, like your heartbeat.
We have life… not
just like a rectangle iPhone in your pocket that soon has a flat battery and
goes silent.
A man of 70 who wears a decent watch is
like a man who respects time and will never give up on it.
