Measuring time in the smartphones’s era, let’s go back to an idea of style

Tell me the day and time and I’ll be there. We often tend to complicate things. We make them very complicated either conceptually or visually. We claim to love simple looks, for example, but we tend to enrich them with frills and superfluous details. The reality is that the simplicity we aim to, frightens us.

We often think the same when it comes to choosing accessories. Even a watch. If we do not use it for extreme sports, a watch should be elegant and refined. Just that.

Unlike diamonds, watches were practical. They were for people on the run, people with appointments to keep and schedules to meet.

Measuring time has become a mechanical process

Since smartphones exist, watches have almost disappeared from our looks. For a while our wrists have become lighter. Stuck and dependent on the screens of our i – phone, we seem to have forgotten the beauty and poetry connected with this object.

Sophisticated and intriguing in its conception of carrying the idea of passing time. The turning hands, the thin and continuous noise that you hear when you approach it to the ear.

Even I, only recently, have rediscovered the luxury of bringing time with me. Without depending on a battery or an electronic screen. It is very easy to find the right watch. Just understand what we want and why. Among tall of the suggestions that the digital era brings directly to our home, in the form of subliminal desires and messages, I found the simply perfect watch on orologio.it.

Among the classic Casio, Citizen and Seiko, there are the most fashionable brands such as Cluse, Marc Jacobs and Giorgio Armani.

I chose an iconic brand: Fossil. Rose gold, numbers, light dial and leather strap. Blue, because it is more sophisticated than black. Simple, but effective. Elegant, yet versatile. Lightweight, but with a strong identity.
