The partner’s birthday is somewhere towards the end of this month. Therefore I need to get another gift for him. He got a new slim keyboard and a pedometer – which I’m glad he likes. So what gift should I get him?
The last time I got him a watch was 5 years ago. He has been wearing the same watch ever since. I suppose it is about time I get him another one – one of Torgoen watches collection.
Some people would like to give a watch as gift because of it’s practicality or usefulness and some would like to give it because of the meaning.
I’ve heard two versions of the meaning of giving a watch as gift depending what culture the person on the receiving end comes from. According to the Chinese I was told that giving a clock or watch on a birthday is like cursing the person of short life.
But another version I’ve heard is you meant to wish the person a long life. Giving a gift of time.
I am not so much a superstitious person. I’d like to think I give him a watch for the good reasons. My true intention, however, is because I’d like him to have a different watch to wear on occasions.
