The Advancements In Time Piece Technology

By Ronald C. Lundy

Despite the advancement in fashion and technology there are still a small number of unisex watches available. It is only in recent years that there has been more designs available which can be worn by any gender. Watches can be worn to casual events or even to formal social gatherings. Jewelry of all types is very popular in the world today.

When many people think about fashion items such as accessories and especially watches, their tastes are generally dictated by gender lines. Who can blame them a woman wouldn't want to wear a very masculine watch as would a man wouldn't wear a feminine watch. But why should these lines be put on such exquisite time pieces. The same can be said for men's and women's pocket calculators. While they are not utilized anymore one can use this and analyze watches. Will watches one day become as obsolete as pocket calculators? With all the advancements of cell phones they have replaced many of the devices of yesteryear. Calculators, music/MP3 players, day planners, and PDAs have all been replaced by the cell phone. Will watches suffer the same fate? Who knows, watches may become an item only utilized by outdoor adventurers and sports players. Even then styles and choices will be dictated by gender lines and preconceived notions.

Indeed, the latest electronic gadgetry in modern wristwatches offers built-in television and radio tuners somehow crammed into the tiny form factor of a traditional wristwatch, which devices also pull duty as music-playing camera phones " with expandable memory! Such models are unisex, and almost necessarily so. Ironically, it would not make sense to speak of men's watches or ladies watches when it comes to something that's practical and, most importantly, actually meant to be used. After all, the typical watch for men and women has become a fashion accessory first and foremost.

In the vein, a very fashionable brand name where ladies watches are concerned is Dolce & Gabbana. Their designs can be nicely flamboyant, fun and casual, but never so quirky as to look totally out of place with all but the very strictest of formal evening dresses. The DKNY label is also interesting, typically with a slightly more muted look, but definitely made for ladies that like to have fun. When considering men's watches, however, its an unfortunate truism that any label will do.

Anyone looking for men's watches has many companies and styles to choose from. Not all men's watches are generic; one can find very nice time pieces from many companies. They offer a wide variety of styles and design options. One company that offers a great line of watches is Tokyo-Flash. One can find other great watch companies online or in retail stores. - 29959
