Brides and Grooms love the HourPower Watch
We just heard from a young bride who bought an
HourPower® watch for her groom and gave it to him at the rehearsal dinner.
She tells us that she stood up in front of all their friends and family and declared her love for her man. Everyone was cheering and shouting out fun comments as she produced a large carefully wrapped package. They started guessing what was inside and she kept throwing back the word, “No”. As the groom unwrapped layer upon layer of packaging, the calls got louder and even more ridiculous.
Finally, he got to the watch box itself and everyone was silent. He opened the box, took out the watch, and then opened it up to the engraving “Our love will be forever and forever” and a favorite picture of the two of them. There were oohs and aahs. Looking over at his bride, he beamed with joy and fun and finally said, “I leave it up to my girl to find the coolest gift there ever was. Let’s toast this wonderful woman” He slipped the watch on his wrist, gave her a big kiss, and lifted his champagne in salute.
Now, that’s a good ending to a good beginning!
We just got an order from a family who had lost someone they loved very much. We didn’t know who it was, but we knew that these people were looking for a way to go on with their lives and to stay linked to their special person.
Engravable picture discs for HourPower watches
They ordered 4 watches — all the same style, all the same engraving, “Always loved, never forgotten” (name and date) and they ordered the same permanent silver picture disk. We thought about what it would feel like to share these watches with the people who were most affected with loss. And, we concluded that this was a very supportive way to solidify the feelings within the group. It was a wonderful way to share their memory and yet be part of the world.
We had occasion to call the person placing the order with a question. The man who answered was very excited to have found www.hourpowerwatches.com. He liked the idea of wearing a wristwatch because time was such a symbol of the life he shared with his wife. But, also because it was so convenient and easy to create a special place on the wrist to always remember what had been.
It is amazing. We are always learning from our customers. They teach us how to use our timepieces in new and creative ways. And each new idea solidifies HourPower’s ability to convey love and joy and memory and inspiration and motivation….
