<p class="caption"><strong>ANALOG LOVE</strong> Andy Greenblatt of Watchismo, an online retailer that has seen more interest from a generation of men who rely on their  cellphones for the time. </p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="articleBody">
<p>
Tyler Thoreson, the head of men&rsquo;s editorial for Gilt Man, the flash sale Web site, often kept his forgettable watches stashed in a drawer. </p><p>
And Eddy Chai, an owner of Odin New York, a downtown men&rsquo;s boutique, gave up wearing watches regularly in his mid-20s, when he outgrew his Casio. </p><p>
But after going watch-free for much of the last decade, the three men &mdash; all in their 30s and considered style influencers &mdash; are turning back time. Mr. Thoreson, 38, is shopping for a vintage gold IWC with a white dial or a Rolex GMT-Master. Mr. Chai, 38, has been wearing a vintage Rolex, loosely dangling around his wrist, &ldquo;not as a timepiece, but as a piece of jewelry,&rdquo; he said. </p><p>
And Mr. Williams, 32, splurged on three watches: an IWC Portuguese, a Rolex GMT-Master II and an Omega Speedmaster, also known as the &ldquo;moon watch,&rdquo; since that is what Apollo astronauts wore. </p><p>
&ldquo;The men&rsquo;s-wear set has recently rediscovered the joy of proper mechanical timepieces,&rdquo; Mr. Williams said. &ldquo;Right now there is no clearer indication of cool than wearing a watch. If it was your grandfather&rsquo;s bubbleback Rolex, even better.&rdquo; </p><p>
As recently as a half-decade ago, time seemed to be running out for the wristwatch. With cellphones, iPods and other clock-equipped devices becoming ubiquitous, armchair sociologists were writing off the wristwatch as an antique, joining VHS tapes, Walkman players and pocket calculators on the slag heap of outmoded gadgets. </p><p>
The wristwatch &ldquo;may be going the way of the abacus,&rdquo; declared a news article in The Sacramento Bee in 2006. The Times of London had it &ldquo;going the same way as the sundial.&rdquo; The Boston Globe, in a 2005 lifestyle feature, was more definitive: &ldquo;Anyone who needs to know the time these days would be wise to ask someone over the age of 30. To most young people, the wristwatch is an obsolete artifact.&rdquo; </p><p>
Or, not. </p><p>
The &ldquo;sundial&rdquo; of the wrist is experiencing an uptick among members of the supposed lost generation, particularly by heritage-macho types in their 20s and 30s who are drawn to the wristwatch&rsquo;s retro appeal, just as they have seized on straight razors, selvedge denim and vintage vinyl. </p><p>
"It&rsquo;s an understated statement about your station in life, your taste level,&rdquo; Mr. Thoreson said. </p><p>
He got a taste of the pent-up demand last fall, when Gilt organized a high-end vintage watch sale with Benjamin Clymer, 28, who runs an online magazine for watch enthusiasts called<a href="http://www.hodinkee.com/"> Hodinkee.com</a>. (Mr. Clymer, a former UBS manager, said his site attracts 250,000 unique visitors a month, more than half of them under 40.) </p><p>
Fourteen of the 17 watches, with an average price of $4,800, sold in the first six hours. Gilt now holds a watch sale every month. &ldquo;In certain circles,&rdquo; Mr. Thoreson said, &ldquo;if you don&rsquo;t have a substantial timepiece with some pedigree, you feel like you&rsquo;re missing out on something.&rdquo; </p><p>
To be fair, the doomsayers were not entirely wrong. Few people actually need a watch to tell time anymore. Melanie Shreffler, editor in chief of<a href="http://www.ypulse.com/"> Ypulse</a>, a Web site and market research company that tracks youth trends, observed, &ldquo;even the high school and college students who wear watches usually pull out their cellphones to check the time.&rdquo; </p><p>
But that&rsquo;s the point. A watch these days may strike some people as an impractical, frivolous and often costly way to express individual style. But that is just another way of saying that it&rsquo;s fashion. </p><p>
&ldquo;Considering how casual most people dress on a day-to-day basis, a glamorous watch is one of the few accessories that can be at once sporty, luxurious and utilitarian,&rdquo; the designer Michael Kors wrote in an e-mail. Mr. Kors has a line of oversize chronographs, manufactured by Fossil, that is popular among women (they are a current must-have accessory among under-30 fashion assistant types in Manhattan). </p><p>
For a generation raised on Game Boys, however, the appeal seems to go a little deeper than just a desire for another fashion accessory. In a world surrounded by ever-glowing LCD screens, there&rsquo;s an analog chic to wearing a mechanical instrument. </p><p>
&ldquo;A cool machine that is all moving parts has got to be intrinsically interesting to someone born into this generation, because there&rsquo;s just nothing like that in their life,&rdquo; said Mitch Greenblatt, a founder, with his brother, Andy, of <a href="http://www.watchismo.com/">Watchismo</a>, a California online retailer of design-forward watches. </p><div id="pageLinks"><ul id="pageNumbers"><li> 1 </li><li> <a onClick="s_code_linktrack('Article-MultiPagePageNum2');" title="Page 2" href="/2011/07/07/fashion/watches-are-rediscovered-by-the-cellphone-generation.html?pagewanted=2&_r=2">2</a> </li></ul><a class="next" onClick="s_code_linktrack('Article-MultiPage-Next');"
