Watchlords

A very nice, and long, article about the watches that inspired the "faces" Apple has available on their digital watch.

Lots of pictures of vintage watches and a good bit of watch history, there's even reference links at the bottom of the article.

Wear that badboy in gud health

No smart watch for me; I don't even have a smart phone.

I have nothing against the Apple Watches or the people who wear them. Personally, I've never been a fan of planned obsolescence.

My granddaughters would probably kill for an Apple watch; they spend 99.9% of their waking moments staring at their phones.

I don't know how many Apple watch wearers would realize or appreciate the efforts put into the various faces that are on the watch; most wearers probably think Apple came up with all the designs on their own. If they thought about it at all. Or chose one of the analog faces instead of the digital format.

There are a surprising number of people that can't tell time unless it's digital. sad.

I really like smart watches now, just took me a few years to come round to the idea. But make it an Android, please.

Poor Rolex. They shouldn't be drug into this shit.
