If so, keep Matheu’s Fine Watches and Jewelry in mind for our vast selection of luxury watches and we can also engrave the corporate gift watches for you.
Have you ever wondered what the significance was behind why a company offers their retirees a watch as a parting gift for their years of service to the company? If you are like me, you have and in order to answer this question, let’s go back in time to when it first happened, or rather as the story goes who and when it originated.
The tradition with corporate gifts being a watch for employees that retired from a company began back in the 1940s, or as the story goes, and it started with none other than The Pepsi Co. The concept behind it was, “You gave us your time for all of these years, and throughout all of these years we controlled your time and your livelihood.” The symbolic meaning behind the watch being gifted to the retiring employee was a return of control to the employee, or rather a return of control of their own time to them.
The Pepsi Co., used to give out Gold watches to employees who spend three or even four decades into the company. Of course, back then, gold was around $34 an ounce and today it is a whopping $1,600 on ounce. Top that with the fact that the average time spent in a company nowadays is 5 years, and well, you sure won’t see very many companies offering their employees gold watches these days that is for sure.
However, there are still companies out there that still stand behind this tradition and usually of course that means employees who do put in serious time within a company in order to receive a gift such as this. Is yours one of them?
