The Evolution of Timepieces
In our digital age, it seems like virtually every process has been reduced to a series of code contained in a miniscule computer chip. It may be old-fashioned, but I miss the days when artisanship and intricate movements came together to create precision equipment. One of the places where this integration to the digital age is most apparent is in timekeeping.
Our most accurate timepieces now set themselves through a series of satellites. And while this innovation in the industry is the result of years of hard work and research, I miss the personal touch that was inherent in the watches of yore. There is something astounding about opening up a timepiece and seeing all of the watch parts moving in harmony and knowing that someone went through the painstaking task of putting them all in place.
Mr. Peanut’s Missing Accessory
When constructing a classy, old-fashioned, turn-of-the-century suit ensemble, there are many stereotypical items that come to mind. Most of the essentials can be found by simply looking at a picture of Mr. Peanut. From his cane to top hat and monocle, Mr. Peanut adorns almost all of the requisite old style wear.
One staple piece that is missing, however, is a pocket watch. When you look at Mr. Peanut you almost expect to see a gold pocket watch chain at his side. Perhaps it is because he lacks pockets, but I think that this accessory would put the finishing touch on his ensemble.
