What hand should a man wear a watch on?

Nowadays, watches are an important part of a business image, but, unfortunately, not everyone knows the rules for wearing this accessory.

A wristwatch has long ceased to be a purely functional detail that plays the role of determining the time - the function of complementing the image comes to the fore. Sometimes, by the way a man wears this accessory, one can easily determine his status, upbringing standards, character and many other nuances.

Let's take a closer look at the features and rules of wearing this accessory.

Perhaps most men do not think about the correct location of such an accessory on their hand and are guided only by their own convenience. On the one hand, personal comfort should be above all, and if a person has one hand as the leader, then it may be difficult for him to perceive the clock on the other, because the habituation process may take a little longer. So, it is unusual for a right-hander to keep track of time, constantly referring to his left hand, and vice versa.

Looking at the historical data, we can see that with the advent of watches with a bracelet, wearing was primarily due to convenience: since the watch was mechanical and required regular winding, it was placed not on the wrist of the working hand, but on the opposite one, so that at any time it would be more convenient to adjust it without removing it.

But in some situations it is still worth referring to the rules of etiquette and find out on which hand a man needs to wear a watch, since in society the location of this accessory can give certain signals.

In order to feel as comfortable as possible in everyday life, you can put the watch on the hand on which it will be more convenient for you to wear it. There are even special straps for the right or left side.

An exception may be people of creative professions with an unconventional way of thinking. The location of the accessory, which is opposite to the recommendations of etiquette, as well as the use of a creative and unusual bracelet model, will allow others to understand that the owner of this watch is an extraordinary and outstanding person who is subject to any non-standard tasks.

Strict rules for wearing a men's watch on the left hand should be followed if you are going to a social event of a certain level. As a rule, such events imply a certain dress code in clothes, which is due to a subtle sense of the organizer's style and his status in society, which means that everyone present will be assessed visually: any little thing can affect the impression of your image.

Therefore, if there is a desire or goal to make a good impression and charm others not only with your personal qualities, but also with your appearance, it is not recommended to neglect the rules of etiquette.
