How To Wear Multiple Watches [0:00:00]
In today’s video, gents, how to wear multiple watches at the same time.
[Music] So, I got this question years ago, Antonio,
can a man wear more than one watch at the same time and still be stylish?
At the time, I totally discounted the question like I’m not going to make a video of this.
But, I got this question again and, now, that I love watches and I’ve got actually some,
I have found myself wearing more than one watch at the same time.
So, I decided to create this video to actually make the case that a man can wear more than
one watch at the same time and still be stylish.
So, let start this video off by answering the question why.
What are reasons that men would want to wear more than one watch?
Okay.
So, imagine you’re the CEO of a company and you’ve got a status watch.
The original James Bond Rolex Explorer because you explore the world and this is a symbol
of what you’ve earned.
But, right below that you want to wear your old trustee Databank.
Why?
Because you started off as an accountant.
You love to calculate numbers and you want a calculator handy, but you also go diving
in the afternoon to take a private jet down the Bahamas and so, you’ve got your trustee
diving watch.
Now, the point I’m making with that quick example is that different watches serve different
purposes.
One watch you may wear because of status because of just the design.
You love the way it looks.
Another one, because of the function because of what it reminds you where you came from.
Another one, because it can go down to 200 meters, it’s got different time zones, you’ve
got people working in five different areas.
I know for me, I’ve got people that work for me in nine different time zones.
So, guys, understand that you can actually bring in different watches and if you treat
it like jewelry, maybe wear one on each wrist.
I’m going to say that you’re going to wear them all on the same wrist, but what
you’re looking here is you’re wearing different watches that serve you in a different
way.
Again, two different watches, two different purposes, both of them very durable, but that’s
where the similarities really end between these watches.
This one got set with atomic time.
This one I can actually get the temperature, I can measure my heartbeat.
This one is a very smart device.
I can go through the mud with this one.
You probably don’t want to go with the mud with this one, but if I’m going to be on
a yacht, hey, wear the Yacht Master.
The point is different watches different purposes, they serve different functions.
Another reason to wear two watches, you simply like the look.
You want to be different, you want to stand out from the crowd.
You want to get questions about this.
You like the way that this white dial makes the blue dial look even bluer.
The simply the contrast, the silver works together, but here you’ve got the leather
strap with the metal strap.
You like the contrast.
Again, you do it for yourself.
Maybe for some of you guys, you feel it brings balance to your outfit.
You know you just feel weird with the watch on one arm, so why not put it on both that
way you balance it out.
And I’ve heard some people even cite safety concerns especially when they depend on their
watch.
Let’s say you’re a deep sea diver and you need to know the time, you need to be
able to split time, you need to be able to use this information to make important decisions.
You’re a first responder and you don’t want to rely on just one watch where the battery
could go dead or the other one it just get smashed and gets destroyed, you want to have
a back up.
In that case, why not wear two watches.
And a quick bit of related trivia when Sir Edmund Hillary first climbed Mt. Everest,
he took two watches with him.
Why?
Because you got to be able to measure how much oxygen is left in the tanks.
They didn’t have a measuring device, so they used timers.
Which watches did he take?
Guys, one of them was a Rolex, the other one was which brand?
Let me know down in the comments.
I love to hear if you guys can guess it and if you know your history.
The next reason wearing more than one watch at the same time is that you’re going to
get more wears out of those watches.
So, let’s face it, your collection has grown, you’ve got a modest collection of fifty
watches which means if you wear one watch per day and you rotate through, seven wears
per year.
Guys, that’s not enough.
You love your watches, you want to wear them show them off more, so you start to wear more
than one at the same time and guess what?
You’re able to wear them more throughout the year and kind of pass the love around.
Finally, and this one is straight and practical.
When I’m traveling I don’t want to leave my nice watch in my luggage, so guess what?
I’m wearing two watches through security that way I can keep track of them.
I know where they’re at I’m not going to damage them and I just don’t want to
lose my luggage and then lose one of my nice watches.
So, I end up wearing multiple watches when I’m traveling if I’m taking multiple watches
with me.
So now, let’s talk about the dangers of wearing multiple watches.
The first one is that you look too awesome and you’re just going to blow people away.
No, seriously, people are going to ask questions, they’re going to look at this, they’re
going to like, ah, what’s going on here?
And, yes, this is overkill.
But what I want to stress here also is you’ve got watches rubbing again each other, so you
will get scratches on your watches if you wear multiple watches.
Another thing, if you’ve got watches that are basically mechanical and they’ve got
very intricate movements in there, you got to be careful because knocking up against
other watches can actually damage the inner mechanics.
So, how to pull off the look?
Well, you can go on each arm, the balance look.
Wearing an odd number of watches than one side you can make the strong side.
Now, you can’t wear both watches on one arm, understand this one is going to get stronger.
And if you’re going to do this, I like to go for a little bit of contrast.
And, finally, pay attention to proportion.
Smaller watches should be closer to the wrist, the larger watches can make their way down
the forearm.
