‘Correntes de Relógio’

Watch Chains

It may seem inappropriate to include these pieces in the group of popular gold, but that isn’t true. It was almost common to all men from the old days the desire to purchase a gold or silver watch, depending on what is financial situation was. Exactly like nowadays a man takes out is beautiful lighter from his pocket and lights his cigarette with slow and paced movements, putting his forearm in such a way that everyone can see his watch, the same way did the man from old times act when he went with one or both hands in his pockets in order to show the watch chain. When he took out his watch, everything had specific gestures that sometimes men rehearsed in front of the mirror. That was useful to show his ‘candidate’ his status.
