Why have watches grown in popularity despite increased cell phone use?

I've felt it creeping up like the sands of time for the past...oh, say, about four years now - watches gaining traction! Just when you thought they were dead in the water, they've floated to the top of luxury must have lists (gears in tact and everything! ;)
Has anyone else been a little perplexed by this? Back in the late 1990's when cellular telephones became widely affordable, watches started seem a little uneccessary. I personally watched the watch shelf space at high end department stores begin to lend itself more and more to clockless jewelry. Who needs two clocks in a 10 inch radius, right? Well, this fall's explosion in watch production (timepieces if you're fabulous) by major brands suggests that indeed, we do!
I suppose now that we all have time readily available just a few unlock keys away, the idea of a watch has become even more superfluous...and that by definition, I would contend, is precisely why they have become an even more sought after fashion statement.
Watches from famous brands likely to be best sellers:

 |
| Juicy Couture "J Couture Princess" Watch 95.00 - Bloomingdales |

and, let's not forget...
Casio Baby G (Yes, they're back.) Celebrity vocalist Ke$ha was just named brand ambassador.

Want to take the trend to the next level of superfluous? Here's a tip from my last post!

| Roman Numeral Clock Purse http://www.quirkyfinds.com/ ...sorry, sold! : ) My grandmother used to pick these up as free gifts at Harrah's down in Atlantic City and give them to me to stash teddy bears in. Boy am I sad I sold them all...especially the 2 X 3 foot piece in shiny red patent leather. Oh well, we live and learn. If you don't want to become a little melancholy, watch this with the sound off for some timepiece love: |
