Crazy Italians

[Benny Holiday]

Um . . . No. Definitely not for me.

I saw a 60 Minutes piece on Agnelli years ago. He wears his watch on the outside of his shirt cuff, and wears button down collars with the corners unbuttoned. Just plain odd.

I like it. I dislike the feel of a watchband around my wrist.

 

[dhermann1]

Me too. That's why I carry a pocket watch. Can't stand the sensation of anything attached to by body like that. That's why I also don't wear rings.

 

[Jerekson]

The title got me. I'm very Italian and I simply came in here to acknowledge the fact that I am crazy. :rage: :rage:



As far as the cuff-thing goes, I hate it. It's kind of cool, but...I dunno.

It just bugs me.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Wear a pocket watch
The idea of wearing a wrist watch over the cuff seems a bit tacky to me. Just not my cup of tea.

 

[BegintheBeguine]

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Well, I'm a chick so I don't think I'll wear that particular cuff but I've also been a tailor and I like seeing weird innovations. And I was an Italophile so the title of the thread drew me in with unexpected results. I'd like to see a gent wearing this in person.

Tain't my cup of tea either. I really like to pull back my sleeve, shake my arm to put the watch in its proper place and hold it to check the time. It gives a rather ceremonious touch to the act.
