Watches have always been and always will be a sign of elegance and distinction.
We probably remember our father, mother, partner or friend always wearing a particular type of watch, a very select brand or a very significant colour. Either way, whenever we see them, they remind us of them, don't they?
As a curious fact, watches have been one of the most popular gifts among the aristocracy and royalty. In fact, the first watch, created by the Egyptians, was a gift for the pharaoh Amenhotep I, and the first wristwatch was worn by the Queen of Naples in the 19th century. Later, it was a nobleman who was the first to wear a pocket watch in the same century, which led to the association of wristwatches with women and pocket watches as a masculine accessory.
Today, however, with technological advances and the fact that we always carry our digital watch on our smartphone, it is no longer so common to see the typical wristwatches or pocket watches. They have been replaced by fitbit and mobiles or tablets, which are also the informers of our time.
Yet, surprisingly, it is an accessory that is still in much higher demand than expected given the current reality. Why is this happening? There may be several reasons:
- Mere ornamentation;
- digital disconnection;
- faster consultation;
- brand bragging rights;
- more "analogue" personality.
And speaking of personality, you know that depending on how you dress, the shoes you choose or the watch you wear, that's who you are. If you are more intrigued, at Sam Parfums we tell you about the relationship between watches and the personality of the person who chooses them.
Read on to find out!
Watch types and personality
Below we are going to list the types of watches and the personality associated with each of them:
Saloon clocks: a sign of ostentation
We are all reminded of the classic ".dong" deep behind a large wooden hall clock, surrounded by ornaments, a piece of glass and perhaps behind a splendid table full of flowers and vases.
Now that you have situated yourself, you will know that this type of clocks are not cheap or usual, in fact they usually have a very loud pendulum and nowadays they are considered as an ornament. vintage rather than something modern and practical.
So what does it reveal about the personality of those who choose to own these watches? That the person likes to show off (and show it off), to appear, to show off, to be known and to give an account of their status. It can also be someone with a lot of inner noise who can only relax with precisely those "...".dongs" This may indicate that in a way he does not like solitude at all. Besides, nothing is put in front of him: he knows what he wants, how he wants it and how to get it.
Wall clocks: the bigger, the more ego
This type of clock is the most common and there are many types of clocks: handmade, ceramic, light, candelabra, wooden... the possibilities are endless.
However, if you want to see someone's personality, it's not so much the materials that matter, but the size of the clock itself. Does it take up an entire wall or just a modest corner on a shelf? The bigger it is, the more ego the person who owns it has. And, of course, the more controlling it is.
Why is this said? A small watch is harder to see with the naked eye. You have to look for it and, while the owner knows where it is at first glance, a visitor is not intimidated by a discreet clock. On the contrary, they are often grateful to have a small place to check the time without blatantly pulling out their smartphone.
However, a large clock that takes up half a wall, you look at it and almost merge with it without wanting to. You are "prey" to it and even if you don't want to, you watch helplessly as time goes by. The owner of that clock wants you to see it, he wants to "crush" you with his personality in the form of a clock and for you to notice it immediately. If, in addition, he has it on time, he is a detail-oriented person, while if the time is not pre-set, he only wants to attract attention.
Cuckoo clocks: the loudest, the most hated and the most loved
Not everyone is able to put up with this type of watch and perhaps the reason is that every hour not only sounds a "...", but also a "...".dong", but also a figurine comes out from inside that simulates the "cuckoo" that gives it its name.
People who love this type of clock tend to be people who love the aesthetic sense. They are not conformists, what is more, they will not be satisfied with just any sound or any figure, it will have to be that specific figure that marks their time. In addition, they are usually busy people and the sound of the "cuckoo" helps them to have a sense of reality and of the time that passes.
Wristwatches: a whole world
Wristwatches come in a whole range of types. It is worth noting that anyone who chooses to wear a wristwatch already reveals a certain pragmatism. However, there are nuances that should be taken into account. We will try to summarise the most common ones for you:
- Sports watches: here we include the fitbit, the aquatic and hiking type. They are more carefree and probably the most pragmatic, not concerned with aesthetics, but with utility. They are decisive people, with a wide range of options in difficult situations and very tenacious.
- SmartwatchesWe couldn't leave out the latest technological innovation, the smartwatch. However, not everyone feels at ease with one. Why is that? People who wear smartwatches are people who are always on top of things, always up to date with the latest trends, the latest news and multitasking. They are always on the cutting edge and don't take too kindly to being left behind if something new happens that they haven't heard of first.
- Pure analogue watches: are those who only tell the time and nothing else, so you can guess what this personality hides: simple, conformist people who can be very happy with very little.
- Branded watches: A Lacoste, a Calvin Klein or an Olivia watch does not go unnoticed easily and the wearer of such watches knows this. Those who choose these distinguished watches are people with a sense of elegance, who don't lose their composure easily and are quite sure of themselves. They are usually born leaders and you will never forget the face of someone who wears one of these watches on their wrist.
