Budget Diaries: 5 Lust-Worthy Watches Worth Less Than 5,999! Get Them Now
Tom Jones said, "I have a weakness for watches." We can't agree more. This obsession for the wrist accessory is something that came about in 1810 and it's here to stay. Some people say the world's first wristwatch was created by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, Italy. Even Queen Elizabeth I received a wristwatch by Robert Dudley, described as an arm watch. Earlier, only women wore wristwatches and men carried pocket watches, simple because watches were prone to wear and tear due to the elements of nature, but men also adopted wristwatches in 1893. Since then, there's been no turning back.
Whether you're a school kid who needs to keep track of time during class or exams, a teenager who loves looking trendy or you're an adult who loves flaunting a much needed time teller, wristwatches are for everyone. Watches are big business these days. And the last five years have seen extraordinary growth in the sector. The Swiss watch industry, for example, saw its exports grow from £2.5bn in 1986 to £10bn in 2008. All this despite the fact that the primary function of the watch - to tell the time - has been rendered pretty much obsolete by the invention of the mobile phone and the BlackBerry. So why are we still buying them? Here are some great reasons: To be taken seriously, to be unique, for your hand fetish, as eye candy, as something to remember you by and much more. So, if you want to get this trend, here are some great, inexpensive ways to treat your wrists this season and always.
