The Combination Of Art And Technology

The origin of watch is timepiece, which means the important point is practice. But now, it is the most precise, tiniest art, or most beautiful, attractive technology. Its worth can not be estimate by how many jewelries it use, also can not by the update of the hairpieces and movement… It is the perfect combination of both of technology and art.

Watch is the witness of the art revolution. You can find the trait of impressionism, Modernism, Postmodernism from the development of watch. You can also discover that the watch reflects the progression of our science, from the hairsprings which are vulnerable to magnetic fields and shocks to the blue Parachrom hairspring which is unaffected by magnetic fields and up to 10 times more resistant to shocks.

So watch is beyond the art and technology, it is more complicated than them. It is the platform for the expert to realize their conception. But for us, there are more choices for us to fulfill our like and taste. Let’s see the vivid examples.

Choose The Right Watch

At the very beginning, I want to share a parlance some people said before– fashionable people need six watches in their lives: two official watches, one for the daily work, the other for the business negotiation; a time-zone watch for the transnational travel; a sports watch for the outdoor activities; one casual watch for the common lives; the last one is a jewelry watch for the party.

Now go to the next step now, find the exact watches you would like. There is an important point you should pay attention to, the color matching—the color of your watch should fit your skin. For example, if your skin is black, you should not choose the pink or light green watch; the coffee color watch is not the right choice for the brown skin people; how about the people whose skin are a little yellow, height is low and statue is fat? Please leave away from the red and yellow watch; it is better for the dark skin people to wear a light color watch.

OK, you could buy your right watch in certain shop with your friend or order it on the internet. Wish you have your suitable watch!
