Prepping for the Big Presentation
When the company vice president chose me to make a presentation before the board of directors regarding our third-quarter earnings report, I was more than a little nervous. I knew right off the bat that I would need to rehearse enough to refresh my dormant public speaking skills. Beyond that, I would need to exchange my business casual look for a full-on high-powered professional wardrobe.
I tried on a number of power suits, eventually settling on a fetching pinstripe number. Then I picked out some wingtips and gold cufflinks to really convey the message that I’m a team player and an asset to the corporation. Still, it seemed like something was missing. It took me a moment to realize that I needed one of those impressive men’s watches with leather watch straps I had noticed online a few days before. A classy watch would truly complete the look.
Picking the Perfect Timepiece
When choosing a new watch, the most important aspect is obviously the design and craftsmanship of the time keeping mechanism. Be sure to opt for an aesthetically pleasing piece that will be appropriate for a wide range of occasions. It is also vital to choose a face that it the correct size for your wrist; too big of a face will dwarf your wrist and look bulky, while one too small will look like a children’s timepiece.
On your watch hunt ignore the manufacturers bands completely. There are a variety of watch straps made of nearly every material imaginable that can easily be attached to any face. Changing the band can have a big impact on the overall appearance of your timepiece, so it is best to mix and match to your taste.
