The Breitling watch has a steel strap with a blue face bordered by two buttons and a dial. The dial winds the watch’s gears and changes both the date and time. The buttons start and reset a built-in timer. Scratches can be found around the bottom of the strap and around the watch’s face, but otherwise it is kept clean and polished. This watch was a graduation gift from my father. He gave it to me over dinner the night of graduating from high school and said that it was because he wanted to give me something to show his appreciation for the effort I put into studying for 4 years. It was also meant as congratulations for getting accepted to Chapel Hill. The watch was useful in managing my time during exams and other time sensitive events since …show more content…
As I put it on for the first time he asked me if I knew why he got a watch as a gift. He proceeded with a question, “What is the most precious thing in life?” The most precious thing in life is the one thing that you will always use and never get back, time. At that point the watch slowly changed my way of thinking about others reminding me that this life is mine. There are stories of people that would sacrifice themselves for the joy of others, but in the end that would make those that care for those people sad. I would rather be the one who lived making every second count not only by helping others but also helping myself in order to bring about a tomorrow where everyone can smile. Some may see this attitude as selfish, but I think it is more optimistic for a future that can benefit everyone including myself. This memory also served as an impetus for work habits. Engagement is an important factor in any life project whether that be forming a thesis for a college course, planning a large family meal, or preparing a presentation for coworkers. Planning ahead helped designate periods of time where I could engage in large projects efficiently as opposed to forcing myself to complete something in the length of three to four hours. I suppose this idea is the embodiment of another phrase that says, “Work smarter, not harder”. Additionally, I developed a sense of
The minute hand also has two bars; the second hand has a long single bar with a circle near the end of the bar. There is also a red hand with a triangle at the end of the bar. The logo of the watch has two parts: the above is a shape of a golden royal crown, and the bottom is the word “ROLEX” with white color and Times New Roman font. There is a Rolex logo with several words on the middle upper of the dial, two rows of words just below the center, and two words on the middle bottom. In the lower right of the watch, in front of the dark green background, there are words “OYSTER PERPERTUAL EXPLORERⅡ” with white color and Arial Unicode MS font. On the right corner, in front of the dark green background, there is a Rolex logo and its website below. On the middle bottom, there are two rows about the product official contact number and sponsoring brands.
"This is a story about a man named Harold Crick and his wristwatch. Harold Crick was a man of infinite numbers, endless calculations, and remarkably few words. And his wristwatch said even less” (Stranger than Fiction). Throughout the film Harold’s life is controlled by his wrist watch, ultimately always relying on the function of his watch to guide him in life with every decision he makes. This is symbolic because it represents the obsessive characteristics Harold possesses. For example, Harold’s wrist watch is designed with several alarms throughout his day dictating each and every one of his actions, eventually causing him to fall into a routine which he isn’t necessarily too
The clock has put a time restraint on most activities because we feel as though we only have a certain number of hours in the day and therefore we are constantly running around causing chaos because we are supposedly very busy. With the introduction of smartphones, the wristwatch has become an accessory because we are always on our phones checking what time it is. I have noticed that I am constantly checking my phone for the time in class because I lack the attention span to sit through a long lecture.
The ticking watch symbolizes how slow time is going, and he thinks the ticking in his head is the time going by
A parent can take advantage of this natural attraction by regularly checking their own watch in front of the toddler or preschooler, thus encouraging their child to stay enthused about the potty watch. The other side: the cons of using a potty training watch. -
Talia open and closed the pocket watch. Opened, close, reopened, closed. The metal had grown warm in her hands, and the clicking sound it made made had started to dull. The pastor continued to drone on about her father. What a good man he was, and what a great loss it was to their community. She smiled bitterly. Not many people had actually liked him. One could only describe her father as guarded. She pulled the sleeves on her sweater back over her wrists and tried to tune in for a bit. She eventually gave up and went back to opening and closing the pocket watch. It seemed that no one else could hear it snapping shut. She shook her head. It wasn’t like they were actually mourning, after meeting her father for the first time people in this

I’ve learned that I have a great work ethic and often take the initiative to get things done. Mrs. Peacock has shown me how to handle tough situations in the right way and that hard work eventually pays off; you just have to have a little patience. Mrs. Julian taught me how to not give up so easily and to fight for what I believe in and to enjoy every moment of everyday. My friends have also helped me by showing me that I can be caring and that I can count on someone other than myself to be there for me in times of
Of course the most influential, positive effect that I wrote about last week was the birth of my children. By having my children, it taught me to think about others first, to work hard to provide for someone other than myself and to make sure that someone else’s wellbeing always came before mine. When we are young, at least when I was young, my world revolved around me. I was the most important person. Of course once you have children that all changes you are now responsible for another human being and they should come first. Having children changes everything. No longer was I a carefree, no worries person; now my microsystem involved the most important people in my life. Every day I lived for them. I was the one who was
A treasured time piece in transition to family heirloom. The Schutz Marke Wall Clock is a unique blend of art and furniture and is characteristic of the German craftsmanship of the 19th century and stopped production after 1932. Ironically, Louise Pearson (my great-grandmother) purchased this clock in 1932. The picturesque style of this brand of clocks makes it a centerpiece in the home, as many have them hanging in their home to this day. “Regulator clocks, sometimes referred to as pendulum clocks, were invented in the late 18th century in a quest for greater timekeeping accuracy” (. This is a culturally symbolic timepiece and its character is more enhanced as it is no longer crafted by Schutz Marke. Many have the clocks hanging on their walls, even without that special meaning they hold for some. My grandmother perceives this as both functional and symbolic of her relationship with her mother and the meaning it held for her, and that is why she has one. The intricate details along the sides and in the hands themselves is amazing. There are many types of clocks made and manufactured but the Antique Schutz Marke German Vienna wall clock is a classic—a strikingly magnificent work of art. The importance of this artifact is that the details tell the craftmaker’s story from the time period it was created. Its craftsmanship is just one aspect of its significance, as this time piece brings that connection from past, present, and future for a family.

I have an object that keep giving me a passion and power my life. One of my friends gave me a watch about 4 years ago. He told me that I can't use it until I got my bachelor and back to Egypt.
