Silver Pocket Watch: Gift For All Occasions

Sometimes, it's not so much the message that counts, but how this message was expressed. The same is true of the presents you give to the men in your life - be they boyfriend, husband, brother, father, uncle, or a second cousin. These men are as much a part of yourself as anniversaries or family occasions. It is, thus, only fitting that the presents you give to them hold special meaning or, failing that, at least speak volumes about the relationship that you share.

Nothing says "I care about you" more than a silver pocket watch. A silver pocket watch is both useful and beautiful. It is reminiscent of a bygone era where gentlemen in topcoats kept track of time with the help of a gold or silver pocket watch dangling from their canes or necks.

The good thing about a silver pocket watch is that it looks distinguished. Thus, it can also double as a striking piece of accessory. You may purchase a fob to accompany the watch. A fob will provide your recipient with more choices on how to wear the watch. He could wear it as a necklace, for one, or a bracelet, for another.

To add a special touch to your gift-giving, have the silver pocket watch engraved. You could have the date and the name of the recipient etched on the back, for instance. Or, you could include a line or two that only you and your recipient would understand. The message should be one that aptly encapsulates your relationship with the person you are giving the silver pocket watch to.

For example, if the silver pocket watch is for your husband, have it inscribed: Because time stands still when I'm with you.

If the silver pocket watch is for your father, write: This will help you count the moments you spent loving me, and the moments I spent loving you back.

If the silver pocket watch is for your extravagant sister, put: If you can't buy it in half an hour, it's not worth having.

Finally, if the silver pocket watch is for your twin who is younger than you are by five minutes, engrave: Because you were five minutes late during the one time in your life when punctuality counted the most.

Do not fret over the message to put on the back of your silver pocket watch. The only rule when it comes to dedications is that there is no rule. Thus, you have free rein over what to write and how to have it written. You could, for instance, choose brevity over the funny or the witty and simply inscribe: I love you.

Note that the font you use to engrave messages should be relative to what you want engraved. For example, if you want initials inscribed, stick with block or old English style font. If you want a name or a one-liner written, script font would be the perfect choice because script letters are made to connect. This is mainly why experts advise against using script letters for initials.

No matter what the occasion or the relationship, a silver pocket watch is a perfect way to show your affection. It will do the talking for you during moments when you find it difficult to express yourself.
