#Watch

A wristwatch is a small despot strapped to the wrist, pretending to tell time but actually policing every second of its owner’s life. Incessantly, its hands mark schedules rather than moments, reducing freedom to a series of ticking sentences. It commands attention as a fashion accessory, yet demands the sacrificial ritual of battery replacement to maintain its indifference. Admired for accuracy, it punishes delay with the silent judgment of a stopped hand. Ultimately, people wear it not to know time but to signal that they are controlled by it.
