I'm a Watch-wearer Now: Introduction

A Wristwatch

About a year ago, I began wearing a wristwatch daily, something I hadn't done for nearly a decade. I made doing so a conscious habit, and I quickly became captivated by the little accessory. The satisfaction that I now get from wearing a watch -in my case an inexpensive three handed analog model made of plastic and rubber- is manifold. There are practical, aesthetic, and notional aspects to watch-wearing. I originally wanted to write about this phenomenon in one article, but decided to split it into a couple when I realized that the approaches to the subject were sufficiently divergent in nature as to require their own respective pieces.

In short, articles about watch-wearing and wristwatches are coming. They will include my experience and advice relating to the topic, as well as my philosophical approach.
