ARE YOU WHAT YOU WEAR?
Ever use the following smart remark when someone asks you what time it is, "A hair past a freckle, eastern elbow time." Not sure why this memory came back when starting this article, but feel free to use it next time you are caught without your watch, and face the "ΒΏQuΓ© hora es?" question.
People love to judge a book by its cover and people by external appurtenances. In the spirit of this pastime, let's take a deep dive into what your wrist says about you. Specifically the watches you wear, when you wear them, and where you wear them. It's the horological version of bird watching.

WATER SIGN
Does it mean someone is like Jaques Cousteau if you see them with a dive watch? Does wearing these submersible timepieces indicate being born under a water sign? Maybe, and maybe not. Some folks take to water like a duck and want to be able to keep track of time without bringing along their smartphone. When you see someone wearing a diver's watch, it is a good sign they are practical and think ahead.Β
"We design our watches to be an extraordinary extension of our fans' personalities and interests. They are individuals in every respect. Itβs only fitting our watches should reflect the same individuality."

RUGGED INDIVIDUALIST
There is a definite statement being made when you see a person with a pilot's watch. These wristwatches harken back to the era of deadly airborne duels, with the victors toasting their accomplishments around a fire back at the aerodrome. The person sporting a pilot's watch is almost certainly their own person, up for any challenge.

MAKE A STATEMENT
"Round watches? Not for me. Everyone has a ROUND watch." When you see someone with a timekeeper that deviates from a perfectly circular case, your suspicions might be that they march to the beat of a different drummer. Sure, there are more extreme ways to make a statement, but the Rebel is designed to do it painlessly and with great style. Bucking the trend doesn't mean your wrist has to look shabby.

WATCH GEEK
Is there someone you think might be a watch geek? How can you tell beyond a shadow of a doubt? See what horological plumage they display on their wrist. There's your answer. Complications? Unusual materials? Lots of buttons and subdials? Yep, that there is a dyed-in-the-wool watch geek. Don't worry, they aren't dangerous unless they corner you to talk watches.

HISTORY BUFF
People wear watches for many reasons, as this article has illustrated. So, what does a history buff choose to demonstrate his passion? How about a watch that brings the origins of watchmaking and space triumphs together? When you see someone wearing a bronze watch the celebrates a historical event, say landing the first man on the moon, that should tell you this person knows their history and doesn't mind celebrating it.
