The test of time

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Have you ever given someone a nice watch for a gift?  Not a cheap little throwaway watch that you can get for under ten dollars, I’m talking about a really nice watch – something along the lines of a citizen diamond watch.  Something that the recipient would hold onto forever.  I think that a really nice watch as a gift says something really nice about the relationship between the two people involved.  You see, time is valuable.  Very valuable.  And giving someone a really nice watch says that you value that person in many ways.

For one way the gift of a nice watch says that you value your time spent with that person.  How much sweeter can that be?  Enclosing a note with the watch that says something like “I love every second I spend with you” or “Count the seconds we are apart” (assuming that the watch has a second hand) would be incredibly romantic!

The nice watch also says that you feel that the person is a “keeper.”  Someone worth spending some “real” money on, not just a couple of dollars on inexpensive glitz and shine that will fade quickly.  No, a gift of a nice watch says that the relationship will withstand the test of time.  And that, my friend, is a very nice sentiment.
