I got a Concord watch for my birthday from Jacqueline this year. I just love it. It makes me feel like I’m keeping time, in style. Over the last few years, I have developed an appreciation for watches as a form of expression — and not just function.
If you are still trying to find a holiday gift solution, give a watch some thought. When you shop for watches, take their mutiple roles into account. No one ever has too many watches. There’s a great watch for any occassion. You can drown in watch listings on Ebay. You never know, watches may someday be the new shoes.
Gene Stone, is one of the foremost experts on watches. You might say he wrote the book (The Watch) on the subject. Watches have a rich history in our culture, watch this YouTube video interview he gave on CBS. I found the piece to be really informative and well produced.
