Is Your Watch Accident Proof?

When you’re riding a motorcycle, very few things (depending on the type of accident you may be subjected to) are accident proof. Not your watch—not your body. That’s why you never get on a motorcycle without stellar motorcycle insurance and the name of a great motorcycle accident lawyer.

Watches Built Specifically For Motorcycle Riders

Time flies when you’re riding a motorcycle so you better keep an eye on your watch; wouldn’t want to be late to pick up your date after all. So in addition to motorcycle wear, gear and jewelry—there are motorcycle watches. These watches are built for style but are also rugged enough to withstand the vibration of riding a motorcycle. In an accident however, if that watch isn’t covered by long gloves or the cuff of your leather jacket, it doesn’t stand much of a chance. That watch is under the same kind of risk as are your limbs, face, head and spine. They don’t make watch helmets… At least not yet. Triumph, makers of the infamous motorcycle, also just happen to make Triumph watches. Go figure!

Of Course Those Aren’t The Only Watches In Town

Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, and of course Harley Davidson all make motorcycle watches. They run the gamut from truly stylish, to truly rugged, to both. You can find these watches highly discounted online, as you can see, or you can spend more for them at a department store or at a fine jewelers.

Then again you can always have one custom made at a fine jeweler.

Does Your Home Need a Clock?

There are some folks out there who seem to be very dialed in to time. It may be something innate, since humanity has been focused on the passage of time since the first time they noticed that the sun was setting and rising, or it could be a byproduct of one’s occupation in which marking the time is a requirement – couriers, for instance. Today’s non-stop business world relies on squeezing every last gram of productivity and efficiency out of every minute.

Our Inner Clock

Work-related time management skills, however, do not explain the manner in which some people can wake up every morning without an alarm clock (the secret to that is actually to drink a large glass of water right before you go to bed). Most of us rely on our alarm clocks to get us out of bed early in the morning. Alarm clocks have gone through an interesting evolution, going from fire-station style bells to baseball-clocks that you shut off by throwing them against the wall.

Fashion or Function?

The numbers on the alarm clock itself, though, are almost a formality. The purpose of the device that sits next to your head while you sleep isn’t really to keep you informed of the time – it’s just there to wake you up. Full-size neon clocks which stand freely or hang on the wall are similarly becoming a matter of taste more than necessity. The time can be found on most people’s cell phones or computers, or is on display on their car stereo.

So, you may ask, does your home need a clock? Clocks as fashion statements add a touch of beauty, whether one considers it to be “Old World” or not, to anyone’s home. Modern decorative wall clocks are more beautiful than ever, with ornate hands and framing. Improvements in digital printing technology have afforded manufacturers inexpensive ways to produce creative clocks that are as appealing as they are useful – whichever you please.
