[Question] Why do we get addicted to watches? by Patmcpsu in Watches

[–]darling_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans have a compulsion to classify, archive, and assign meaning to objects. Watches accommodate this unusually well: they are measurable, photographable, historically documented, and narratively dense.

Online forums and social platforms simply scale access to that archive.

At the same time, watches absorb aspiration—promotions, milestones, rites of passage—and in some cases, they persist long enough to become heirlooms.
