Watches that exemplify craftsmanship and/or that are iconic deserve to be regarded as art. So much discussion here on watches just being jewellery here on Reddit but that’s a misclassification. Yes watches have some elements of jewellery. But they are much more than that. Appreciating art is what makes us human. And so watches make us human. Watches are partly jewellery, party tools (and incorporate engineering), symbols of heritage and identity, and overall pieces of art. Prove me wrong pls.

Just some random philosophical ramblings: first, watches are not “just” about history, technology, design, fashion, functionality blabla but also about light. The way that light catches a (good) watch can change it completely as an object. Name me one other object that you can carry and that changes its “personality” that much depending on the loghting?
Second, as men we have cherished our weapons for tens of thousands of years as hunter-gatherers. Watches scratch that itch in our brain for practical stuff to carry around these days. Interested in your thoughts.
