There's something about a gold watch.
We used to get one when we retired, we wear them for the most formal of occasions. It's not that other colors aren't at home in a formal setting, but something about gold set's it apart. Even if it isn't really gold. This watch evokes the same bauhaus minimalism demonstrated in George Nathan Horwitt's famous Museum watch. A single 12 o'clock indicator, slender stick hands, a black face nearly devoid of all printing. This watch exudes elegance. This is the type of watch you put on when it's time to put on your best attire and need a watch to compliment it. The eco-drive system guarantees that even if you don't wear this watch particularly often, you can easily recharge this watch after taking it out of the case without an inconvenient trip to change the battery. The watch is not particularly rugged with it's 30m water resistance and mineral glass crystal, but then again it's not designed to be worn anywhere where ruggedness is a consideration. I like this watch very much but must admit I like the silver and gray version a bit better for it's versatility. But sometimes you just need a gold watch, and this one fits the bill perfectly. And it won't empty your wallet.
