Sometimes, I aske myself a question that why we need a watch, for we could know the time by a cellphone. I believe you may give me some answers. For example, we can know the time as you want, when the watch is on your wrist. or we need it just to show what kind of preson you are.
Let me show you a real story. Then you will know why we need a wath.There is a romantic story about this watch on my wrist. This watch was sent by GF, my first loved one. I wear it all day. Not only to know the time, but also want her to know that I love her. The watch is not expensive, but I think it priceless. I tell my self I will wear it for all my life. When I wear the watch, I know she is nearside. This is a good feeling.
There is another story about a watch I read online--Lieutenant Woehrle came across a Patek Philippe advertisement. He had given his old watch to a camp chaplain, who he decided needed it more than he did.
“I knew that they were expensive because Patek Philippe was a name I had seen in Harper’s Bazaar or Esquire,†he said. He knew it was a long shot, but he tore out an order form anyway, and mailed it with a note promising to pay the watchmaker once he was freed.
Months passed; he forgot about the watch. To his surprise, one day it arrived. Camp administrators were reluctant to give it to him. They feared he might use it to bribe a guard. They relented when a ranking American colonel promised that the lieutenant would do no such thing.
“It was an electrifying experience for the whole camp,†Mr. Woehrle said. (Patek Philippe said its Geneva archives reveal no other instance of a watch sold to a prisoner of war.) “I had lines of fellows out in the hall knocking on my door, waiting to see the watch.â€
So, you can see that why we need a watch. It has another function that express a feeling. Now, I think a watch also has life, just like ours.It walks one circle, one circle, until one day it doesn't work. You see it just like our life. We live one day, one day, until one day we can't work, or die. Then life is over.
Some rich people buy an expensive, diamond, gold watch, but they just put it in stock or show their weath. Don't forget a cheap watch also has a great meaning to some esle. Even someone gave me I don't care. Friendship is forever.
So what's your priceless watch? Do you have a watch that you won't forget. Just a general watch can have a great story.
