Time, Time, Time
Our Editor, in an effort to curb my never ending lust for new timepieces, pointed out this article to me.
Cell phones taking over as timepieces
According to Reuters
U.S. watch sales, which have been on the decline since 2001, fell 4.9 percent in 2005, according to a new market research study.
Obviously, I have been falling down on the job. I knew I shouldn't have returned that Movado!
But the article does point out that more men than women think it makes sense to dig in their pocket for a cell phone than to glance at their watch. This is the probably the same group of people who famously can't ask anyone for directions until they have walked around in circles for 50 minutes.
Women are apparently more loyal to their accessories than men. 40 million of the almost 70 million people who bought watches last year were women.
I didn't know anyone was watching me that closely!
As I told the Editor, as much as I love my Treo700w, all dressed up in a Flekiskin from Boxwave, it can't compete with a truly fabulous watch.
The Dolce & Gabbana watch site is Flash, but fun Flash. Wait for it to finish loading, and click on "Cream" to see the watch.
