Choosing a wristwatch

Cartier, TAG or the good old Swatch - the clock says a lot about your personality, character and success. Quite exactly - it's all about the clock, regardless of your age, gender and social status.


1. Rich heiress

A wealthy heiress - she is a papa's daughter - twenty and a little, and the dreams of most of her contemporaries, so beautifully described in any luxury goods advertisement (luxury resorts, jewelry, collection wines, racing cars and the most beautiful men) - her everyday life. Most often it can be seen in the company of the same life-mongers, it-girls, in the pictures under the heading "Secular chronicle". As a rule, BN does not burden itself with higher education or profession, sometimes, in order not to die from boredom, is engaged in modeling business or is shot in cinema. BN vegetate on yachts in the Mediterranean, languish in boredom in the suites of six-star hotels and indulge in melancholy in luxurious mansions, decorated by famous designers. BN casually looks like a bang a-la Misha Barton from the face and cuts through the city in a caftan, generously embroidered with rhinestones, short blue jeans or a denim miniskirt, Chloel apricot moccasins and a capacious Chanel bag. On the little finger BN there is a ring with a seal. There is more style in it than can be expected from the daughter of the rich or aristocrats.

To learn the time BN prefers Cartier Tankissime - this clock is so in harmony with the pen that the godfather gave her for adulthood! She even likes this watch (especially a 18-carat gold bracelet, but Roman figures on the dial are a bit embarrassing), and she hopes her boyfriend, the top manager of one big company, will take Cartier as a hint that she's ready accept his offer of hands and hearts. In addition, the watch is decorated with such a nice tapeworm, and the insertion of white gold and a scattering of smaller diamonds makes BN tender - in her glamorous world this is considered a sample taste.

2. Artistic nature

Subtle artistic nature is apolitical, asocial, believes in postmodernism and does not believe in large corporations and seems to be keeping pace with the times. But this radical girl with feminist inclinations had a little delay in the "rebellious youth" - she was already thirty, and she does not intend to change her habits and views. AN - the director of an art gallery, specializing in which are works by Oriental artists. AN does not distinguish between work and rest, therefore dresses always the same: shortened black trousers - "cigarettes", black velvet ballet flats or boats, cashmere sweater with a V-neck pastel shade from Brora (not from Primark!), Sometimes in combination with a white chemise pressed down to a crunch. The NA has a short haircut (smooth or hedgehog, no silly curls), and accessories are kept to a minimum: a massive silver Ethiopian cross on a black leather strap, a thin silver bracelet next to the black model Alessi Kaj (she really likes the orange arrow - she talks about her connection with the East), and clips (or earrings) with rhinestones. No make-up - this is fundamentally. The mat for practicing yoga is its constant companion, like the Evian bottle and a black capacious cloth bag - of course, non-designer, but bought somewhere in the eastern bazaar.

3. Glamorous beauty

Glamorous beauty in all imitates Liz Hurley, but only not so famous. She is well-married, she is already far beyond thirty, her life is a continuous cloudless summer. HA is always sunburnt, wearing exceptionally white, sometimes diluting it with a puppet-pink. She has an ideal figure (this is partly due to plastic surgeons), which allows her to wear tight white trousers with a white ragged biker vest and overt top, white belt with a massive rhinestone buckle and sandals on a huge platform in red peas. GK is crazy about short tops and jackets and just recently bought a stunned pink jacket, and now is thinking about buying a white multi-layered skirt-maxi, similar to a wedding cake. Of course, she is blonde, and her luxurious straight hair reaches the waist, like Barbie's. It seems that her huge sunglasses are simply glued to the charming puppet face. GC wears Chanel watches, sparkling with white diamonds and pink sapphires - do not hesitate, its nails are painted with a varnish of the same difficultly definable shade. By the way, she usually does manicure in the company of her miniature copy - a teenage daughter, from whom she has no secrets, and with whom they visit the spa salons together.

4. This lady

This woman is full of self-esteem - she never watched the fashion in her life, did not go around with others, and now the friends of her children look at her with respect, consider her "classy and modern" and even find in her something heroic. She is engaged in gardening, breeds poultry, has an active civil position and unshakable moral principles. NL is the wife of a successful lawyer, diplomat or politician, a member of several committees, a mother of four children, a diligent and hospitable hostess, a convinced activist of the "green" movement (carefully monitors water consumption, reuses banks from jam bought in a supermarket, and wrapping paper) . NL has been driving a very old Volvo for many years - it is convenient to carry your favorite dogs. Her watch is a female model of Girard-Perregaux 1945. They inherited it from a rich aunt, and NL does not remove them, even when engaged in gardening. NL scrupulously calculates the family budget and saves. At friendly dinners, she wears dark dresses (mostly blue) from Toast or Nicole Farhi, and from accessories she prefers amber beads - in three rows - and large massive gold bracelets in Cleopatra style. Resting in the south of France, she wears espadrilles. Instead of a summer handbag from NL - a basket from Provence. Her beautiful gray hair is always neatly trimmed and stowed in an elegant hairstyle - almost like a Jilly Cooper.

5. The boy-handsome

His life resembles a light and rapid glide along the waves. He is just over 20. Quite a decent salary (for example, working as a copywriter or a logo designer for a large company) allows him, without hesitation, to indulge all his habits: surfing, wakeboarding, skateboarding, downhill skiing - at least one of the listed sports he is engaged every weekend, when he comes off the TV, where he looks out for everything that has anything to do with "Formula 1".

In his dreams, MC wears TAG Heuer Microtimer. Even his girlfriend knows by heart the specifications of these incredible watches: a wristwatch chronograph working with an accuracy of 1 / 1000th second, a steel case with a black digital dial and a sleek black strap. In fact, MK is forced to settle for Swatch, which my mother gave him in honor of graduation from the university with a red diploma, baggy jeans, vintage T-shirts (or T-shirts with funny inscriptions), fashionable two-colored sneakers and a bunch of bracelets and bracelets - leather straps, colorful threads and something Silver - to commemorate his journey to Africa or to the islands. He never parted with the iPod, and his hair is always so touchingly ruffled.

6. Careless Rider

BE refers to a rare breed of self-sufficient men who do not suffer from loneliness. He believes that he has chosen the only true path in life and dresses with reckless and therefore quite natural elegance. Most recently, he celebrated his thirtieth birthday, but he has his own consulting firm or advertising agency, which is waiting for a great future - he does not doubt this for a moment. Money - just a side (albeit very pleasant) product of his successful activity - nothing compared to moral satisfaction. He completely took place as a person and a man. BE wears elegant suits from Lanvin and Armani, complementing them with polo sweaters from Lacoste or Smedley T, but will never wear sloppy moccasins so beloved by his peers. He is not afraid of failure and wearing the "right" shoes - pay attention to shoes from patent leather from Gucci - so go far. On weekends, he prefers to wear jeans from dark denim and gray cashmere sweaters with a round neckline. Now he wears the classic Rado model; the blue dial highlights the color of his eyes, which mysteriously shine when he takes off his vintage Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Over time, he will undoubtedly please himself with something chic, for example, a masterpiece of Patek Philippe, even if used in the past.

7. Superman's Double

This forty-year-old twin brother Bond works in the advertising industry (still) and is "fully" provided. DS always dreamed of becoming, if not a secret agent, at least an ironically irresistible top manager of a global corporation. He looks like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig at the same time. Profession allows him to remain a boy to gray hair and at the same time to shine his knowledge in virtually any field, from the selection of actual accessories to cars, from gadgets to men's fashion. He never doubts his own taste; unfortunately, in his profession an individual style is more like a uniform: excellent leather shoes with a square toe, bright socks, tight-fitting or straight black boot-cut jeans, a black turtleneck or a shirt with a wide collar (he regularly visits the gym three times a week - the beer abdomen so unaesthetic and trite), a scarf, black glasses and a nylon bag-backpack over his shoulder. Frankly, he has about a half-dozen hours, naturally, among them there is Omega Seamaster. Now his favorite is Chanel J12 Superleggera.

8. Shark of capitalism

AK earned so much money that positively does not allow him to hope to get to heaven. He even somewhere regrets his fabulous wealth, so he prefers not to give it away. AK is already over fifty, but it is sporty, well-groomed and business-like, a habit developed in his youth. So he was at school, university, on the sports field and in his office of the president of a large company. To tell the truth, he always dreamed of becoming a music producer or film director. He could even write a book. The Chronometer (Breitling Navitimer) he chose not for reasons of status and prestige - this choice reflects his philosophy of life: in the course of time there is poetry, if you do not need to rush and fight for every second. From this exhausting struggle, AK has freed himself for a long time: he spends his time on his mega-yacht, in prestigious men's clubs and expensive hotels. He also wears poetic elegance (Prada and Armani suits, white shirts with wide cuffs, Ermenegildo Zegna shoes and no tie) and firmly believe that he still has time to change himself and the world around him.
