Over the past 20 years there has been a revolution in the watch world! The rich have always had watches for business, watches for sport, driving watches, sailing watches, and watches for formal wear.
A farm boy from the Arkansas delta started with a $1.00 pocket watch and got a good wrist watch in high school. The only time he got a new one was when the old one broke or was lost.
The idea of owning several different watches (that all work) has been as foreign to most American males older than Baby Boomers, as is a tuxedo that fits, hanging in the closet.
There came a time when our wives had two, maybe even three watches; then with the quartz watch came watches to match every outfit and some men began to collect. A good watch doesn't cost a month's wages. In fact, in real money, today's $100 watch costs about the same as my $1 pocket watch did in 1938, when many a man worked for a dollar a day, some even for a dollar or two a week.
Today many own several. One of the most popular and fastest growing brands is the Swiss Army Brand shown on these two pages. The brand and the fact that we offer them says everything you need to know about quality, dependability and value!
