Is giving a watch a bad omen?

When going to vis­it for a birth­day, wed­ding or any oth­er cel­e­bra­tion, each per­son faces a very sig­nif­i­cant prob­lem in find­ing a good gift. And, as a rule, in such a sit­u­a­tion there are always “experts” who cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly for­bid pur­chas­ing watch­es for this pur­pose, refer­ring to ter­ri­ble signs and super­sti­tions. Why is it gen­er­al­ly accept­ed that such acces­sories can­not be pre­sent­ed as a gift, and where does such a state­ment come from?

A bit of history

In fact, there are quite a few ver­sions about this, but two of them are con­sid­ered the most com­mon.

1. In West­ern coun­tries, watch hands are equat­ed with sharp objects, and there­fore chronome­ters are auto­mat­i­cal­ly assigned to the same cat­e­go­ry as knives and oth­er cut­ting house­hold and serv­ing items. It is said that such gifts attract evil spir­its to the recip­i­ent.
2. Accord­ing to Chi­nese beliefs, the clock is asso­ci­at­ed with an invi­ta­tion to a funer­al. If we talk about mul­ti­ple inter­pre­ta­tions of this state­ment, then the Chi­nese believe that the donat­ed chronome­ter will count down the time until the death of the recip­i­ent. The Japan­ese, on the oth­er hand, argue that with such a present, the donor wish­es the death of a per­son.

In our coun­try, you can hear many sad sto­ries about how donat­ed watch­es cause quar­rels, quar­rels and part­ings among lovers. They also say that in no case should you give a chronome­ter as a gift to your girl­friend, as in this way she is remind­ed of her age. It is not rec­om­mend­ed to buy watch­es for adults and the elder­ly, as well as for seri­ous­ly ill patients.

In a word, if you delve into this prob­lem to the max­i­mum, then we can con­clude that it is bet­ter not to present the clock to any­one, oth­er­wise then peo­ple will live in dishar­mo­ny with the whole world. On the oth­er hand, if a per­son real­ly want­ed to please you, spent a lot of time look­ing for a good gift, and at the same time invest­ed heav­i­ly in it finan­cial­ly, then why think only about the bad? After all, all super­sti­tions and prej­u­dices are just “hor­ror sto­ries”, often unfound­ed from a sci­en­tif­ic point of view. And if you are still haunt­ed by such a lega­cy of your ances­tors, then you can sym­bol­i­cal­ly “redeem” your gift from the donor. Just give him a few coins for a watch and wear it with plea­sure and with­out any fear.

For whom would a watch be the best gift?

And for those who do not believe in bad omens, we advise you to pay atten­tion to the assort­ment of the chasik online store. We assure you that the prob­lem of a styl­ish and mem­o­rable gift will no longer exist if you con­tact us. The range of the best chronome­ters from mod­ern man­u­fac­tur­ers will allow every­one to choose prod­ucts for:

• watch col­lec­tors — these are the peo­ple who know a lot about good things and will def­i­nite­ly be hap­py to replen­ish their col­lec­tion;
• friend, rel­a­tive, acquain­tances — this is the most win-win option for a gift that is rel­e­vant at all times;
• an employ­ee and a boss — in this way you can empha­size your atti­tude towards a per­son, express­ing grat­i­tude for mutu­al coop­er­a­tion;
• their child — it is the par­ents who become the givers of the first watch in the life of a lit­tle man;
• beloved — with the help of a watch you will demon­strate that every minute spent with­out your soul­mate will seem like an eter­ni­ty to you.

When choos­ing a watch as a gift, you must first of all remem­ber that you are pro­vid­ing the recip­i­ent with a prac­ti­cal thing that brings unde­ni­able ben­e­fits. Being well versed in all the pref­er­ences of a per­son, you con­firm your affec­tion and atten­tion to him, and this is equal­ly pleas­ant for absolute­ly all peo­ple, regard­less of sta­tus, gen­der and age.
