When the wrist watch was supposedly created in 1870 for a Hungarian baroness, women didn’t really need to know the time of day–it was just another excuse to wear a fancy bracelet. But times have changed. Today we women have places to go, things to do, people to meet–and we need to know what time it is.

Of course, today we frequently rely on cell phones, PDAs and computers to tell us the time more than we rely on the gears and springs of older timepieces. And just as some of us have abandoned our land lines, some of us have also abandoned the practice of wearing a watch.

If you’re one of those gals who now now braves the world with a naked wrist, perhaps today’s VPOD will inspire you to reconsider. This vintage Gucci bracelet watch is sleek and modern and comes with a total of twelve interchangeable colored bezels. It’s pretty enough to wear even if you never plan to glance at it for the time of day and it’s surely a long way from your first Minnie Mouse wristwatch.

Yes, this one’s one to watch for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Maggie’s Time Zone.
