Today Is National Watch Day- Let’s Look At The Watches Of James Bond 007

2 Comments

Today is June 19th and in the United States, it is also National Watch Day- a celebration created by Nordstrom, an American luxury department store chain. Hey Canada, can we celebrate too?

We think making this observation world wide is a worthy endeavor, without watches society would not have been able to develop in the same way that it has. Imagine trying to coordinate an activity with someone else based solely on the height of the Sun. Good luck with that or what if the famous watch wearing James Bond was forced to use a wrist mounted sundial? Ick.

What Does Watch Type and Style Say?

You can tell a lot about a man by the watch he wears….take a look at this info graphic courtesy of our friends at watches2u that catalogs the changes in 007 James Bond’s watch design and styling throughout the film series. Which one is your favorite?

Life imitates art....space is beginning to be serviced by private companies just as Ian Fleming suggested it would in Moonraker. Who can forget Drax and his fleet of private spaceshuttles? CP

Drax :-: "First there was the dream, now there is reality. Here in the untainted cradle of the heavens will be created a new super race, a race of perfect physical specimens. You have been selected as its progenitors, like gods your offspring will return to Earth and shape it in their image. You have all served in public capacities in my terrestrial empire. Your seed like yourselves will pay deference to the ultimate dynasty which I alone have created. From their first day on Earth they will be able top look up and know that there is law and order in the heavens." Hugo Drax Villain Moonraker
