An Antique Pocket Watch - The Timeless Timekeeper

Who wouldn't want to be the master of time?

All of us, it seems, are subservient to the construct of time.  We have to wake up early every morning to attend work, because such is the dictate of time.  We often find ourselves regretting some missed opportunities because of the limited time we are afforded.  We often dream about what could have been if we acted otherwise because of the linear nature of time.

Try as we would, we simply couldn't defeat the passing of time.

At least, not in theory.

By representation, however, we can be the master of time.  This desire is what brings about people's fascination with watches.  It's not uncommon to find established individuals spending a year's worth of average wage just to purchase gold embedded watches of the highest craftsmanship.  It's the innate desire to defeat time at play.  It's a manifestation of how much we want to conquer time.

Such an inclination is most present in people who have learned the value of every second.  These are people who have learned that time is indeed worth its weight in gold.  Time lost is wealth that goes down the drain.

Some may condemn such a fascination as a folly born from an obsessive-compulsive behavior.  That is an arguable point, but it does not take away the fact that a gift for such an individual will not be a difficult choice.  An antique pocket watch would be the perfect offering for someone you love, someone who values every tick of the clock.

Why an antique pocket watch, you might ask?  Because it's the best amalgam of everything that such an individual fancies.  He's obsessed about time.  A watch is a no-brainer.  Yet, an antique pocket watch is a story by itself... a tale that is etched in time, literally and figuratively speaking.  It has survived the years, and its gears continue to spin.  It is as timeless as it is time-telling.  It is as enduring as it is enchanting.  And it is as symbolic as it is predictive. 

Indeed, for that special someone who has learned how to make the most out of every minute, an antique pocket watch would make the best gift.  It is something that he is sure not to forget, and it is something that he is sure to savor for as long as he lives.  The watch, after all, has been a witness of many lifetimes, and it will be around to tell your loved one's tale.
