A wristwatch was firmly established in the everyday life of mankind not so long ago, at the beginning of the 20th century. This was facilitated by the military, which was inconvenient to use a pocket watch in combat. Perhaps that is why watch etiquette is not mandatory. But certain requirements for watches, the manner of their use and combination with the wardrobe still exist.

In the modern world, watches gradually lose their main purpose - to tell the time to their owner and are increasingly being used as a part of the wardrobe, emphasizing the solid status of its owner or informing us of the open nature of a person or his sports aspirations, etc. Therefore, all kinds of watches should be combined with the clothing style of their owner and the event at which he is present. So, you should not wear a bright, “noisy” design that does not fit the business style at a business meeting. And for an informal meeting of friends, an official style watch will not work. It is inappropriate to use watches with combat, music, etc. in an official setting. If you don’t have a watch suitable for this or that event, it’s better not to wear a watch at all.

You should not look at the clock during a conversation so as not to offend the interlocutor. Also, incorrectly accepting guests, emphasize often looking at the clock, hinting that you are waiting for the guests to go home. In the business environment, there is an unwritten rule that the cost of hours should be equal to the two-month salary of their owner. The watch needs to be changed once every 5 years. Those who wear them all the time should ideally have: a costume watch is a round watch with a white strap, without additional accessories, with a leather strap. Sports watches - in a powerful waterproof case, with a reliable strap. Everyday watches are simpler and cheaper than costume watches, not as reliable as sports ones. But quite elegant, for all occasions. Executive hours. This is heavy watch artillery. Use when it is necessary to impress or at especially solemn and important events. Must be expensive, prestigious brands. When buying such a watch, make sure that you buy what you want and not a banal fake.

Clock can be left hand. Usually this is done on the left, where it is easier to use the winding mechanism, and the left hand is less involved, which helps to protect the product from damage. Any watch is matched to the size of the wrist. Their body should not be wider than the wrist. A massive watch does not look good on a thin hand, and a small watch does not look on a large one. A watch should always accurately wrap around your wrist, merging with you. Only in this way will they create a single image - harmonious and unique.
Useful advice
If a person does not wear a watch, then he is either a creative person or very happy.
