Is giving a watch a bad sign?

Going to vis­it a birth­day, wed­ding or any oth­er cel­e­bra­tion, every per­son faces a very sig­nif­i­cant prob­lem regard­ing the search for a good gift. And, as a rule, in such a sit­u­a­tion there are nec­es­sar­i­ly “experts” who cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly for­bid buy­ing a watch for this pur­pose, refer­ring to ter­ri­ble omens and super­sti­tions. Why is it con­sid­ered 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 on this mat­ter, but two of them are con­sid­ered the most com­mon.

1. In West­ern coun­tries, clock hands are equat­ed with sharp objects, and there­fore chronome­ters are auto­mat­i­cal­ly clas­si­fied in the same cat­e­go­ry as knives and oth­er cut­ting house­hold and table­ware items. They say that such presents attract evil spir­its to the recip­i­ent.
2. Accord­ing to Chi­nese belief, watch­es are asso­ci­at­ed with invi­ta­tions to funer­als. If we talk about the mul­ti­ple inter­pre­ta­tions of this state­ment, the Chi­nese believe that the gift­ed chronome­ter will count down the time until the death of the recip­i­ent. The Japan­ese claim that with such a present, the giv­er wish­es death to the per­son.

In our coun­try, you can hear many sad sto­ries about how a gift­ed watch becomes the cause of quar­rels, quar­rels and sep­a­ra­tions in lovers. They also say that under no cir­cum­stances should you present a chronome­ter as a gift to your girl­friend, because in this way she is remind­ed of her age. It is not rec­om­mend­ed to buy a watch for adults and the elder­ly, as well as for the seri­ous­ly ill.

In a word, if we delve into this prob­lem to the max­i­mum, we can con­clude that it is bet­ter not to show the watch to any­one, oth­er­wise then peo­ple will live in dishar­mo­ny with the whole world. And on the oth­er hand — if a per­son real­ly want­ed to do some­thing nice for you, spent a lot of time look­ing for a good gift, and at the same time invest­ed a lot in it finan­cial­ly — then why think only about the bad? After all, all super­sti­tions and super­sti­tions are just “hor­ror sto­ries”, often not sub­stan­ti­at­ed by any­thing from a sci­en­tif­ic point of view. And if such an ances­tral lega­cy does not give you peace, then you can sym­bol­i­cal­ly “buy back” your gift from the giv­er. Just give him a few coins for the watch and wear it with plea­sure and with­out any wor­ries.

• a friend, rel­a­tive, acquain­tance — this is the most win-win option for a present that is rel­e­vant at all times;
• employ­ee and boss — in this way you can empha­size your atti­tude to the per­son, express­ing grat­i­tude for mutu­al coop­er­a­tion;
