Horological Meandering

Well, not rap or hip-hop, and no brand names, but since you went that way...

 

… As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah
And I said
… Does anybody really know what time it is (I don't)
Does anybody really care (care about time)
If so I can't imagine why (no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry
… And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead
And I said
… Does anybody really know what time it is (I don't)
Does anybody really care (care about time)
If so I can't imagine why (no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry
… And I was walking down the street one day (people runnin' everywhere)
Being pushed and shoved by people (don't know where to go)
Trying to beat the clock, oh, no I just don't know…

I've recently been listening to a few watch songs from the rap community, and some of these are great! The catchiest has probably got to be "Rolex" by Ayo & Teo: I also really like "Protect ya Patek": This is a great message to get out there, especially...  

Thanks for the list!

There is definitely some contrast between the way most prestige brands market themselves and how they are treated in the rap world. Though there’s plenty of overlap too as the watches are held in high esteem. Wish I had some musical talent...as I’d love t... 

watches and music

This subject i never thought of. Songs about time i know a few. 1. Pink Floyd - Time. 2. Cindy Lauper - Time after time. 3. Coldplay - Clocks.

let's do some calendar songs

Friday i am in love - The Cure. In between days - The Cure. Sunday bloody Sunday - U2. The year of the cat - Al Steward. New years day - U2. But.. searching rock songs with the subject watches is difficult. Or is this good? 2 minutes to midnight - Iron Ma...

. . . what time is it?'" "The clock on the wall says three o'clock."

To be a real watch song, I think a brand name has to be mentioned

As far as I know, this only happens in rap. Rolex, AP, Patek, and Richard Mille always seem to be brands of choice. I wonder if rappers will ever get into independents

Excuse my ignorance but I was not aware of the fact that you could even call this stuff music. [nt]

Whenever you thought Rap music has hit a new low, there are always new guys who surprise you that they can further reduce the level. It's not because I am old that I don't like this so-called music... I have never liked it even back when I was 15 years ol... 

I can talk with you

I have the same. But there are a few i like. Not all rap is bad. I like 80 ties and 70 ties pop music. When the quartz crisis was hurting the real watches, music was superior. When the real watches were normal, music was good in the 50 ties and 60 ties. T...

I do apologize for my generation's poor taste in music

I saw a great interview with Boris Blank from Yello. No watch songs, but he had a big watch on his wrist. O YEAH
