To be able to talk about watches first you need to understand where they came from.
In the begging there were no such things as watches, but there was the idea of time. Some would use the phases of the moon, others would use the station of the year, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Throughout history, we are able to see countless methods to count time. Back then time had a vital importance on the daily life. The stations of the year would tell when to harvest or when to plant the crop. The phases of the moon would tell when the packs or the herbs would be in the area, that kind of information could mean the difference between life and death. Nowadays however, the reason why people keep track of time is more complex, more philosophic even. Why time¿ Well, everybody needs it but not everybody knows how to use it. Watches are associated to status, social groups such as athletes or business men. The most recent watch in the market right now is the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch has the purpose to summarize as many activities in one device. This way simplifying our life and helping us to optimize the time that is giving to us. Often watches are not appreciated for what they are, pieces of art. I started my collection about seven years ago, now I have over twenty watches. During this seven years I acquired some expertise about them, understood how they were made how they worked.
