Think about all of the watches you own. Now how often do you wear those watches? Is it because you don’t care much for knowing what time it is or that they aren’t in style anymore? I know I don’t wear my watches because they are out of style. One watch that never goes out of style is a man’s classic wristwatch.
There is something very sexy about a woman in men’s clothing; you know that “borrowed” or “stayed the night” look. A woman in a man’s white shirt is hot and same goes for a woman in a man’s wristwatch.
The wristwatch was first introduced in the 1880’s when woman tied their pocket watches to their wrists so they could go horseback riding. That DIY trend morphed into the production of wristwatches for women. Men thought wrist watches were too girly so they kept to their pocket watches. Just like a man to dismiss an idea because he thinks it’s girly. During World War I the soldier’s realized there was something to this whole wristwatch thing.
Today for men, a wristwatch is a status symbol. For women, they just look darn good on us … plus it was our idea.
