My mother’s watch 

 

I still remember the appearance of my mother’s watch, everyday, every time, every second. It’s been about 20 years ago that my father bought it and she still wears it. That fantastic and amazing popular watch describe my mother’s personality. As with many fashion trends as time goes by, the elegance of my mother’s watch is still the same. Whether she wears a casual outfit, or whether she wears an elegant outfit, you could see my mother always wearing the same comfortable, casual and stylish round wristwatch. It’s described as a dress watch; stylish and elegant, made out of stainless steel. As time went by, the wristwatch was useful all the time. For any event as for weddings, celebrations, Christmas, vacations, you could see her with her watch on her left wrist. Even in the mornings when she left the house, she would just never forget to use it.  Popularity increases as style changes and watches too, but hers is always in-style.  With the watchband pieces and that attached to the open-faced makes it easy to fasten it. Time tells, from very long time ago, the memory when my father bought it made my mother happier. Always keeping track of time, my mother punctual to every meeting. By day and by night, her wrist watch always by her side. Lightweight, accentuated with gold and silver makes a luxurious or a casual wristwatch that can be wear with any kind of clothing, at any event or day. Never been lost, crashed or spoiled, just loving and appreciating her beautiful wrist watch. Even when going on to vacations, she takes it with her at all times. It’s amazing how my mother’s love to the watch keep her away from buying any other. Good days or bad days, she would always see her watch as her most precious material thing. Apart from telling her what time it is as for hours, minutes, or seconds, it tells about her personality. It’s not a digital watch, nor a sporty watch or specialized watch; this is not such a complicated hand watch. It is just a wristwatch, simply to use and works in a simply manner, with a rotor moving in a circular rotation. She can’t leave without her watch, it makes her feel secure and make it on time to every place she goes. On the left of her wrist, we could always find her stylish, causal and elegant watch. My mother loves it, and she never looks up, nor buys new watches. It’s not just a simply watch for her. Her first instinct will always be to remember to put her watch, since she has never lost her interest on it.
