Nowadays, it's a pretty rare thing to spot someone sporting a watch on their wrist. Because, well, smartphones have slowly replaced the time-telling accessory—or so it seems. Our thoughts on the matter? A classic, chic, or sporty watch is actually something that's pretty irreplaceable.
In some cases, watches get passed down from generation to generation, thus carrying with them a lot of sentimental value. In others, they can be an anniversary gifts monogrammed with a special date inside—again, holding significant meaning. And finally, a watch is the perfect practical piece—a dual purpose accessory, if you will—with which to adorn your wrist (and dress up an outfit).
