A wedding is not only a solemn and joyful holiday, but the official start of the life together of newly-made spouses. The bride and groom hand in hand set off on a joint voyage along the river of life.
Wedding gifts should contribute to a happy and harmonious marriage. In this publication we will look at in what cases a watch is appropriate for a wedding as a gift and how it should be presented and received.
How did the belief appear?
There are 2 main opinions about the use of “walkers” as a gift. According to the first, the chronometer is the strongest “magnet”. It attracts bad energy and evil forces. Proponents of this theory are confident that the watch will harm its new owner. A person will often get sick, he will have financial troubles, and he may not dream of a happy marriage at all. It is very bad if the watch case is equipped with the smallest and sharpest parts. After all, they are capable of “cutting” the life of the owner.
Another sign appeared in China. Local residents equate giving a watch to giving an “invitation” to their own funeral.
There are other interpretations. For example, donated “walkers” promise a long separation from loved ones. And the Japanese, especially men, perceive the presentation of a watch as a gift as an announcement of hostility and a wish for a speedy death.
It is also not customary for the Slavs to give this accessory for a birthday or other holiday.
Signs of different countries of the world
Do people really give watches as wedding gifts? First of all, signs that one should not give watches to young people as a gift arose in the countries of East Asia. The ancient Chinese were wary of objects that measure invisible things. Moreover, in this country there is a special hieroglyph that symbolizes death. Oddly enough, but it is exactly similar to the appearance of the watch. When a watch is given as a gift in China, it means that you have been given an invitation to a funeral. But in the cities of Japan it is a sign of a negative mark. If a person is given such a gift, it is a sign that his end will soon come.
In principle, such signs can be disputed, because you can never know exactly when a person will die. Only the Lord and heaven can do this, but in Asian countries they sincerely believe in such symbols.
In Slavic countries, it is not recommended to give a watch as a gift, because it represents separation. There is an opinion that after the celebration, circumstances may separate you from the hero of this holiday. In addition, a watch is not given as a gift for a wedding celebration, because there is one more negative meaning. According to some statements, such gifts can contribute to outside relationships.
Signs and beliefs
Our ancestors associated watches with the flow of life. And today, many experts in the field of bioenergy do not recommend presenting them as a gift.
The most common signs:
- By presenting a clock that hangs on the wall to your parents, you can reduce years of their life.
- You should not give walkers to a couple before they get married or move to a new home. Otherwise, the “threads” tied between them will soon break.
- Old Believers believed that a gift in the form of a watch could only bring bad things – disappointment in one’s own person and stress.
- A more modern interpretation of the sign is this: by giving someone even an electronic chronometer, a citizen is giving away a piece of his time. After this, the course of his life may change, and the “pale woman with a scythe” will come for them earlier than fate intended.
- Wrist or wall models should not be given as gifts for anniversaries and other celebrations. The dial symbolizes the time that a person has left before leaving for another world. A breakdown can “attract” serious illnesses, accidents and other negative things.
Bottom line
According to existing superstitions, newlyweds should not be given wristwatches and especially wall clocks. They measure the time of marital happiness, and if they break down, they even contribute to the breakdown of the marriage.
A gift presented for a wedding will constantly focus the couple’s attention on negativity and anxiety, and thoughts, as you know, tend to materialize.
But the non-superstitious bride and groom, as well as guests, can make such a present. The main thing is to choose quality products, and then give and receive them correctly. We wish you a long and happy family life filled with love and mutual respect!

Sign for men
For men, an accessory can bring a lot of trouble. According to popular belief, you should not give it to your dad, brother, friend or son, even expensive models made in Switzerland.
Superstitions with a negative connotation:
- The appearance of a stain on your reputation, failure in your career. For example, if you present walkers to the head of the family, this will lead to a decrease in his authority. The superstition dates back to ancient times, when there was a ban on placing clocks in throne rooms. The courtiers believed that they were beginning to count down the time remaining until the overthrow of the ruler.
- Male impotence. Such a gift will take away vital energy. Because of this, problems in the intimate sphere may arise.
- Discord. Wrist watches can cause aggression. Something may not go well for a man at work, but he will “take it out” on his significant other. If you give this accessory to your father, his relationship with his wife, that is, with his mother, may worsen. As a result, the atmosphere of comfort in the home is destroyed, and scandals arise more and more often.
Sign for girls
Are you going to buy a watch to give to your daughter, best friend, sister or grandmother? This is not a very good idea. Dangers that experts in folk wisdom warn about:
- Is the recipient of the gift an elderly lady? Please note that this accessory will hasten her demise. Unfavorable energy will “hover” around the owner of the watch, taking away vitality. This means that the lady will live 2-3 years less.
- Deprivation of beauty and early old age. Walking shoes can “take away” the attractiveness of young ladies. Because of this, problems will arise with finding a soul mate.
- This is also a bad gift for a wedding anniversary. Especially if the spouses do not yet have children. Such an acquisition will energetically hinder the successful conception of a baby.
- Deterioration of the relationship between father, mother and their child. If you present a watch to a minor, then his relationship with both parents and teachers may deteriorate. And he will find himself morally isolated from representatives of the adult generation.
Wedding watch: time has come!
Clock for the wedding, time has passed
A clock is a time indicator. Namely, as a rule, lovers do not notice it. But this does not mean at all that it has stopped. It is believed that a mechanism given as a wedding gift counts down the hours, minutes and seconds of the newlyweds’ life together, “steals” time from them, and reminds them that the end is approaching. It sounds depressing, but these are the signs of weddings.
Every time, looking at the gifted “counter”, the newlyweds will realize that sooner or later the clock will stop, like their love, because nothing lasts forever.
Watch as a gift for a loved one
It is not recommended to give this accessory to the person who has captured your heart. Otherwise, separation cannot be avoided. As long as the clock mechanism is working, you don't have to worry. But as soon as the first breakdown occurs, mutual reproaches and scandals will begin. Soon the couple will decide to separate.
Although you can do the smart thing here: just give the bride/groom a gift certificate. And then the loved one will choose the appropriate watch himself.
New Year's signs
It was not customary for our ancestors to present a chronometer on the occasion of one of the main holidays. Many people today try not to include watches in the list of New Year's gifts. It is believed that if this requirement is not met, one of the following events may occur:
- The death of the one who accepted the clockwork. And he will pass away in the coming year. For example, a person was given walkers on December 31, 2019. This means that in 2020 he can leave this world. After all, his time was simply up.
- Death of the donor. There is also a belief. Allegedly, the one who presented the watch may die. And this will happen against the background of an accident or a serious illness. The explanation is simple: along with the “ticking” gift, he gave his time to a loved one (friend, colleague).
- The breakdown of a family who received such a gift for the New Year. It also happens that a clock, for example, a wall clock, is given not to just one person, but to a whole family. In this case, the sign promises the appearance of quarrels and misunderstandings between them. Children can protest and leave in an unknown direction. In general, difficult times will come.
- Loss of housing. A similar disastrous outcome can also await a family that received a watch as a New Year’s surprise. The apartment they own may be damaged by fire or burglars. It is especially dangerous to give wrist or wall models of walkers to couples who have not yet paid off their loans (mortgages). In the coming year, one of the spouses may suffer from a serious illness or be fired from work. There will be nothing to pay the bank with. The financial institution will be forced to take away the housing.
Is it possible to give wall and table clocks?
A clock on the wall is a familiar accessory for any home. Sometimes, in honor of some celebration, you want to present a beautiful wall clock. From a practical point of view, such a gift would be appropriate in the following situations:
- housewarming - at the same time you can attach a kind inscription: “May happiness live in this house all the time.” Such words will immediately dispel the evil intentions of those who are skeptical about such gifts;
- the boss has an electronic clock in his office - the main thing is that this is not a hint of constant lateness;
- a friend who dreams of a special kind of watch - most often these are antique things, their price is high, so it’s better not to think about mysticism. But we must not forget about the energy that all antiques store;
- grandchildren from their grandmothers - we are talking about family treasures and huge floor-standing clock mechanisms. It is important that the elderly person is aged, then the gift carries a good meaning - many years of a happy life.

Why you can’t give a watch on February 14th
On such a romantic holiday, you want to please your loved one with a truly worthwhile gift. And sometimes the choice falls on an elegant watch model. Don't rush to go to the store. There are almost no good omens with this accessory. That is, it makes sense to choose something else. Of course, when you want to break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend as quickly as possible, you can give him a watch. In some states there are no such signs at all. Local residents give a chronometer on February 14, and on any other holiday.
What else should you not give to newlyweds?
The site for newlyweds Svadbaholik.ru advises you to go through the list of gifts that, for one reason or another, should not be given to newlyweds for the holiday, so as not to spoil your warm relationship with them and prevent a bad mood at the holiday.
List of “bad” wedding gifts:
- pearl;
- handkerchiefs;
- empty vase;
- empty handbag, suitcase or wallet;
- fan, air conditioner;
- framed photo of the newlyweds;
- cufflinks, tie;
- mirrors;
- things for babies;
- trinkets.
When choosing a gift, try to refuse everything that cannot be given for a wedding, so as not to give rise to any superstitions or signs. The most worthy gift will be money that the newlyweds can spend on fulfilling their desires. If money seems like a boring gift to you, try coming up with a creative greeting for them that will stick with them more than any other gift.
Why you can’t give a watch on Defender of the Fatherland Day
A young guy or an adult man should not choose such a gift - it will help speed up the aging process.
On February 23, the “defender” received a round-shaped product? Because of such a watch, he may lose a good position, and his career path will begin, but not from the bottom up, but vice versa.
There is one more popular belief. The man received an accessory made of cheap metal and put it on his hand. One day the mechanism broke down. It is believed that in this case the item took away the male power from its owner.
Who can I give a watch to?
No one would want to harm loved ones, friends and colleagues. Here you should take into account exceptional cases when presenting an accessory is permissible:
- The citizen (recipient) is not superstitious. It is explainable. Lack of faith will protect him from bad thoughts and help cleanse his energy.
- Expensive things are designed to emphasize the status of business people. A gift given for this purpose will not harm its new owner in any way.
- A watch intended for a child will have a positive impact on him if he is given it before his daughter or son goes to school.
- Gifts presented in the form of rewards for achievements in a certain field or career advancement should not cause concern.
- Provided that the item has been previously “cleansed” of negativity, you can safely give the item to someone from your circle.
- Those who collect them will certainly be delighted with the original watches. Surely he doesn’t believe in omens, so nothing bad will happen to him.
- Many men, while still children, dreamed of becoming owners of military watches, which were awarded for services to the country. Why not now fulfill the long-standing wish of your father/husband/brother?
The watch was given to you
Not everyone is familiar with folk beliefs and signs. Some people prefer to live without looking back at the past and without listening to the advice of distant ancestors. What should a citizen do if he himself has become the recipient of a gift? It was not presented by a stranger. And he clearly doesn’t want anything bad. Then don't worry. The item was given from a pure heart, which means that trouble will not enter your home, but will bypass it. What matters is the emotional response of the new owner of the item, his belief in the omen itself, or complete ignorance of its meaning.
What if you accept a gift from someone who truly envies you or dislikes you? There is a high probability that he is giving the gift while bad thoughts are brewing in his head. Do you doubt this? It is better to politely refuse the gift.
It is worth learning to recognize with what message a thing is presented, what feelings the giver experiences.
To avoid a disagreement with the person delivering the item, you must pay a “ransom” for it. This should be a purely symbolic amount - change lying around in your wallet.
What to do if you were given a watch
Any folk sign cannot be taken as a sentence. Rules have exceptions, and superstitions have ways to make them harmless. It was said above that the safest way to avoid “terrible” consequences is to turn the act of donation into an exchange or purchase for a nominal fee. A few copper coins will be enough. And after that, use the watch without fear. There is a special sign about “ransom”. It instructs you to give the payment with your left hand, and to accept it with your right.
The second important point is a friendly attitude towards the donor. Don’t look for malice in his gesture, but rather think about how much effort he put into finding the right model and choosing the bracelet. Understand that he wanted to make you happy and express your gratitude. The light emanating from the depths of the heart will scare away dark forces and prevent trouble.
You can also use the element of fire to cleanse the gift. Light a wax candle and place the watch next to it. As soon as the candle burns out, the negative information will be erased from the item.
Decoding dreams about watches
Who said that this stylish accessory is only given/received in reality? Not necessary. What is the significance of the images that appeared during your stay in the “kingdom of Morpheus”?
A few stories:
- notice that the arrows are in a hurry - the efforts you make will not bring the desired result;
- looking at the dial means making a profit soon;
- breaking/breaking the mechanism - troubles may arise;
- the glass on the walkers is cracked - difficulties will arise due to a rash act;
- losing a watch means a major quarrel with someone in the household or a disagreement with one of the family members;
- theft of this item means a clash with envious people and enemies;
- giving or giving away a chronometer - receiving bad news;
- Hearing the chimes is an alarming and emotionally difficult event.
Should you believe omens or not?
Our ancestors noticed many phenomena and events happening around. And on the basis of this information, signs were “made up”. But should modern people believe in them? Many experts in the field of bioenergy are sure: when a person believes in something bad, it will happen.
Watches should not be perceived as something negative. According to popular belief, trouble should only be expected from a gift. You can buy this accessory for yourself. He will certainly bring good luck. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers believed in the ability of watches to warn their “owners” of danger. Stopping the arrows meant something bad was approaching.
At the moment, walkers, especially wrist models, are considered a necessary item in everyday life and in the workplace. In constant affairs and worries, citizens try to constantly keep track of time in order to get everything done during the day.
To blindly follow old signs or ignore them is everyone’s business. It is better to believe in the bright and good!
