(I hope you all also find the above image offensive.)
We live in an age where information and communication is at our fingertips, literally. In this world, one can book and cancel airline reservations within minutes. One can order take-out food/goods via online market places while waiting in line. We can read thousands of books from a library that fits in a shirt pocket. The options are limitless. They are limited only by the ability of the operator.
So, Why do we need a seemingly anachronistic pieces of metal strapped to our wrist?
My Answer: It is a homage. A tribute to the pursuit of perfection; an appreciation of the human spirit of ingenuity. It is a reminder of a time when the world was a little slower. A time when one was allowed to think twice.
So, in these fast paced times of instant gratification, take a moment to gaze at a hand made timepiece to read the time.
