Lifestyles and new technologies have changed the world completely when it comes to phones and watches, nowadays a pocket watch would be a fashion choice rather than a essential to tell the time. Phones and laptops have meant the desire for a pocket watch is no longer, and more so a laptop or tablet bag has replaced it. (This can expand to my designs, I could use the fact that most men needing to carry laptops or tablet, to inspire my bag design&shape).
Usually a pocket watch would be worn by a gentleman in a well tailored suite, nowadays the man would most probably be attending a business meeting, evening out etc. and have hold of a mobile phone or laptop, although this is now a everyday normal thing to see. Because of this one designer (Rolex) has invented something to bring the pocket watch and mobile together, the 'pocket watch flip phone'
as you can see the article [here] the vintage take on a mobile phone does look pretty similar.
The phone has all the regular needs such as a camera, bluetooth and a MP3 player but I'm not sure if people would actually use this, the days of sending letter have been replaced with e-mails, polaroids with camera phone and boxy computer to a lightweight laptop. This modern technology is forever changing and growing and it's just a case of fashion keeping up with it.
