    I do think that with some people a watch is a bragging right, especially men with the big chunky top brand models.

    Having said that, my wife loves watches and the most expensive piece of jewellery I’ve ever bought for her was a Tiffany watch in Perth, Australia.

    My wife loves it so much that she ended up selling all but one of her other watches as she mainly just wears the 5 year old Tiffany watch.
    I love watches, collecting vintage (winding) watches is a passion of mine, earliest is a 1916 Rolex trench watch, newest is a mad Swiss/ Japanese hybrid Hiroshimatic from the early 70’s. Favourite wearable would be a 1960’s seamaster, rarest would be 2 Second World War watches part of the dirty dozen set.

    Feel undressed without a watch on. Mind you, I’ve never bought an expensive watch as the battery operated watches never seem to go wrong. You only need to change the battery every now and again. I’ve lost a couple though.

    Morning alarm is via the phone. However I do use a battery operated clock for pacing while exercising in the mini torture chamber otherwise known as my home gym. I also wear a wrist watch when out as I can't be @rsed taking my phone out of my pocket all the time. And no, I didn't forget the clocks went forward.
