According to information information she obtained from the Jewelry Industry Council, more men than women favor favor digital watches. She points out that besides the fact that digital watches are usually larger than analog analog or dial ones, the preference preference has to do with women's women's attitudes about time. "A woman likes to see time measured as hours and minutes relevant to her life." "When a man looks at his watch, he observes the time to be 11:02 exactly. A man lives in the here and now for the most part. But it is never just 11:02 to a woman. It's half an hour after her dental appointment, appointment, and two hours before before her luncheon date -- and a week from now at this same hour, the time she will be boarding a plane for a business trip." Psychologist Serlin says there is a wealth of information information about your personality personality in the way you respond respond to time. Are you compulsively on time for appointments? If this is so, chances are you are meticulous in other areas of your life as well. Your home, for example, the way you dress, your hairdo, and your makeup. makeup. You want to lead a well-ordered life where there is a time and a place for everything. Do you keep friends waiting an hour or so when you've made a definite appointment? appointment? Shame on you! You are either an egotist, or you tend to belittle your own worth. The egotist feels that she is so important important that she is worth waiting waiting for. On the other hand, the person who comes late has a low opinion of her own worth and wants to prove to herself that you like her enough to wait for her. Favorite Bridal Gifts We make a statement about ourselves in the watches we buy for ourselves, ourselves, Dr. Serlin declares. It is no accident that the most popular gift engaged couples exchange is a watch. It is as if the groom-to-be is saying: "I am giving you my future. I want to spend all of my time with you." And the bride is saying: "This watch will mark all the happy hours we will spend in our lives-to-be." Time was when the American automobile was the status symbol. Now, more and more, jewelry is taking its place since large "gas guzzlers" are considered considered enemies of the country's country's energy conservation program. Of all jewelry, the watch is the most popular popular status symbol, and owning a fine watch is not a negative thing, says Dr. Serlin. A man who chooses that very expensive watch is saying: "Look what I am and look what I have achieved." It can be for many people a way of rewarding rewarding themselves for success. An expensive watch is frequently one of the first items a young person purchases purchases on her own, signifying signifying her independence from her parents. Watches mean different things to different people. In addition addition to being a status symbol symbol or a declaration of independence, independence, many women regard a watch as-an integral integral part of the fashion picture. picture.
