Bradlley Mckoy asked:


Are you a man looking for a fashion statement without going for the overdrive? You can be discreet but upbeat with pocket watches. The women will find you intriguing and very macho each time you fish out your small gold timepiece from your vest pocket.

Macho Fashion Sense

Pocket watches were invented back in the 1500s; these were cumbersome pieces and had to be worn like a necklace. Somebody came up with a better idea and invented gold chains or fobs to be attached to the watch. At that time, wristwatches were deemed feminine so these pocket timepieces were the rage in men’s accessories.

These pocket watches were crafted in gold, silver, and platinum and adorned with sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. During this era, gentlemen from wealthy families owned these traditional time pieces that reflected their clout and power. These were valued family heirlooms, passed from the fathers to their eldest sons.

Fortunately, in this generation, the average Joe can buy himself a pocket watch to show he’s got the fashion flair and the savvy. It’s also no longer necessary to flex his muscles or show off that he’s got what it takes to be a hunk. Decked in his finery, there would be no opportunity to do that. His option is to try those pocket watches to match the ambience.

Just imagine Brad Pitt in a smashing suit flicking a gold pocket watch open. That will send the girls drooling. You don’t have to be a Brad Pitt to catch the girls’ interest. Women, who know the value of these watches, will eye you with interest, whether you have one of those open-faced or hunter case time pieces. Be a Wyatt Earp with your new dashing pocket timepiece.

The Different Types of Pocket Watches

If you’re shopping for dressy or simple pocket watches, you can find several styles online. There are different designs for different occasions. If you’re into sports, try the CX Gear Digital and Analog pocket watches with built-in compass, thermometer, and flashlight.

For a party animal, the CX gear stainless steel, fold-out stand with a bottle opener and screwdriver is just perfect and classy too; for the man who loves the outdoors, the rugged good looks of the CX Gear Luminiscent Hand and Numbers pocket watch should be his companion.

For dressy events, there are the silver and gold pocket watches in various designs to choose from. These may or may not come with a 12″ chain. The casual look for everyday use are also crafted in gold and platinum. Even Harry Potter fans can have their own pocket watches.

Collector’s Treasures

For collectors, there are more choices with the emergence of non-traditional designs. Or if they want the traditional style, they should watch out for blogs announcing auctions of antique watches of all makes. Flea markets also produce a gem or two of old watches.

If you’re thinking of showing up in the next party, dare to be a class apart with a gold or silver pocket watch. You’ll have the crowd buzzing and asking you how you got a stunning showpiece. Or re-establish a tradition in your family. Get one of those pocket watches you can proudly pass on to your eldest son. He’ll be proud to wear it like a true hunk.

Your mission can be adjusted along the way until you find out who you really are. But it will be your guideline in designing you life. Make affirmation on your mission every time you have a chance. Write it in your heart and soul. Carry it around with you wherever you go. If you are serious enough, it will become part of you. And you will become part of your mission.

2. Set up your life plan. You should have a plan for your life. There should be both short term and long term plan. Your master plan does not have to be in details. We will use our master plan to be the guideline of our action plans. Action plans should have all details that they need to have. Failing to plan is planning to fail. “If you don’t have a plan for pleasure, you will have pain.” Said Tony Robbins in his book “Awaken the Giant Within. The good plan will have target, actions and time bound. Make sure that your plan has all attributes needed.

3. Be excited. This is similar to the state that many gurus said “Peak State”. We need the right emotion to drive our actions. Excitement can effectively drive you thorough the life designing process. If you are excited on what you are doing, you will perform your best. This is the key to success. Every morning we will wake up with energy and enthusiasm. We will treat the day as it is the best day of our life. We are ready for everything that is going to happen no matter favorable or miserable.

4. Focus on what you want. There will be the time that things mess up. A lot of time things are not in the way we want. Actually, most of the time it will be. If you understand the process of success, you will know that this is part of the process. Failure is part of success. Many failures mean you do something to approach your target. Do not focus on your failures. Focus on your desired life instead. Emphasize in your mind on your target. Be fulfilled no matter what results come out.

5. Keep momentum. Do not stop what you have to do until you succeed. Do not let somebody say that your target is impossible. They can say it and you can just simply ignore it. Once you start the ball rolling, keep it that way. Make sure that you do the necessity until it becomes your habit. Habit will form your character and character will master your life. It is important that you keep your momentum until you get the life you want to have.

6. Visualization. Visualize that you already possess your desired life. See everything fits into the places you want them to be. Take some time every morning to visualize. Daily visualization will attract the situation and attributes favorable to your achievement according to the law of attraction. You can accelerate the process by using attraction accelerator background sound available in the market. It will help you achieve the life you want faster from visualization.
