The complete slogan was: "A Chicken in Every Pot and a Car in Every Garage," and Herbert Hoover used it as his campaign centerpiece in 1928 and we know the result of the election-Hoover won-and the consequences of his Presidency-he's now largely disgraced and credited, if that's the word, with causing The Great Depression-so much for chickens and cars. To use an understatement, prosperity was not a hallmark of his term, which was once and down.
What does this have to do with the subject of watches, generally, and of time, broadly? Nothing, really. I read a blog recently in which the writer said, extolling the virtues of timepieces, "a watch for both arms, that's what a man of true style owns." Since it was vaguely reminiscent, at least rhythmically, of "a chicken in every pot" it seemed close enough to build a blog around. What about a watch for every day of the week; or a watch for every distinct set of clothing you wear? For lovers of watches, two would clearly not be enough. And generally owning more than one watch is not so much about collecting; it's about acquiring-and there is a difference.
A collector may love his collections, but an acquirer is discerning and, while pure quantity is not the issue, varied and distinct quantity are.
Watches are form and function, surface and depth: they may be inexpensive or Patek Philippe pricey-which is pricey indeed-but unlike most other men's accessories, they serve an actual, almost all would say necessary, function: they tell time and they tell others that we know how important it is to be able to tell time in a stylish or funky or an utterly individualistic way, unique to who we are, as men and women.
Whether you own one or a hundred and one watches is a function of your love of them and the size of your discretionary funds. But watches, most of them, will retain value over time, if not appreciate. And so they become generational. There's the bit in Pulp Fiction about Bruce Willis heading back into danger-in the form of hit man Vincent Vega (John Travolta) to retrieve a revered watch his father left him, delivered and revealed by the ubiquitous Chris Walken. The point: Willis, desperately needing to leave town, still had to go back to his former residence to retrieve it. That can be the power of a watch.
Years ago I bought a vintage Hamilton with Puget Sound Electric etched in green just below the front of the case. It was clearly given to a long-term employee-retired-for all his years of service. I knew nothing of Puget Sound Electric (I doubt it exists any longer) and of course nothing about the recipient. But I treasured it! It meant something to me, who had no innate connection to it.
That, to me, is the power and beauty of a watch. It lasts and carries a kind of history with it.
Whether you own one or hundreds-and I'd suggest at least one for every day of the week-you are participating in a ritual, a nearly necessary one: watching the clock while watching your look. And they are both important for any man or woman.
