Designer watches still popular despite global recession

Even as stock markets have fallen, financial institutions have collapsed and bought out, people are still buying designer watches.

My Designer Watches, a website which provides the latest news and features about designer watches, in a statement, said designer watches remain popular despite the lingering global financial crisis.

The global financial crisis which started to show its effects in the middle of 2007 did not affect the popularity of designer watches, My Designer Watches said.

My Designer Watches added that amidst this economic crisis, people are still shopping for designer watches.

"Watches have always been about more than simply telling the time," My Designer Watches, which recently relaunched its website, said.

Mankind has come a long way when it comes to telling time. Celestial bodies, the stars, moon, sun and planets, once provided mankind a reference for telling time. Then came the pendulum clock, the modern wristwatch and the electronic devices that also tell time. One hundred years ago, majority of Briton lived and worked near a church. In those times, church bells would toll the quarter hours regularly as the Greenwich residents still do today.

The premiere watch website My Designer Watches added that electronic devices that also tell time such as cellphones, PDAs or iPods still cannot match the complex functions and aesthetics of watches.
