The use of the watch

When you have the budget clear, you must be clear about what use is going to be given to the watch, since it is not the same watch for an executive as for a man who spends the day biting into the work or for a high school teacher. According to the use of the watch we will choose some materials or others, since if it is easy for the occupation of the wearer to receive enough blows, we will have to opt for a watch made of a shock-resistant material. On the other hand, if it is for the office, we can look for something a little more sophisticated since the risk is lower.

Another possibility is to give a watch for special occasions. In that case it will have to be a good watch, of materials such as gold or other precious minerals, leather strap, etc., a complement that stands out every time the man puts it on. We talk about special occasions such as weddings, baptisms or communions, awards ceremonies, etiquette dinners, etc. It will not be a watch that shows regularly, but it will do so by combining it with different types of suits at certain times in which choosing the watch is not so easy.
