Time is important to all of us. We live our lives by the clock, literally. Time pieces have been around since the 1400's when mechanical spring powered clocks where first invented. Later around the 1600's, when the technology was miniaturized, pocket watches were invented and became extremely fashionable. Not until the 20th century did our contemporary idea of a "watch" come in to play. Typically one thinks of a watch as a wrist watch, a time holding expedient strapped to the arm by means of a band or chain. Though some men still wear pocket watches for their aesthetic charm, wrist watches have dominated the watch industry for nearly a hundred years.
Today there are two main types of watches for men, digital such as sport watches, and analog, typically fashion watches with corporeal hands and annotated faces. There are also two main types of watch mechanisms (for watches with corporeal hands), quartz crystal, and spring powered. Quartz crystal watches keeps extremely correct time by means of a tiny crystal and an electrical circuit which produced assuredly measured movements. Spring powered watches on the other hand can come to be extremely inaccurate because they rely on a small coil spring to yield movement. This tiny spring can lose consistency as it is vulnerable to changes in weather and climate and can wear out with farranging use. Most analog watches today rely on quartz crystal because of their correct timing, though spring powered watch are still favorite because of their craftsmanship and beauty.
