Gold-detailed, lighted-up, pizza-faced — there are many kinds of wristwatches for sale.
Big watches are hot this year. Some measure up to 5.5cm in diameter. They look like large pizzas!
Watches with gold are also very popular this season. Some have diamonds or other jewels. Shopkeepers are happy that people are buying luxury watches. Some cost as much as a new car.
But many people just want a simple-looking watch. One example is an all-black watch with lighted hands. It catches the eye even though it has few details.
People pay attention to the kind of watch a person wears. For example, a year ago it was big news that James Bond wore an Omega watch in Casino Royale. In the books, he was a Rolex man.
Times change, but the popularity of watches keeps on ticking.

飾以黃金的、會發亮的、大錶面的—市面上有各種琳瑯滿目的手錶。
大錶面是今年的熱門款，有些錶面的直徑達五公分半，看起來就像大比薩。
飾以黃金的手錶在本季也很受歡迎，有些則鑲綴鑽石或其他珠寶，消費者買奢華手錶讓業者相當開心，有些錶的價格還可以買一輛新車。
然而，許多人只想要一支樣式簡單的手錶，例如，只有指針是亮的全黑錶款，即使沒什麼精緻的綴飾仍相當引人注目。
人們會注意一個人戴什麼樣的錶，例如，一年前在《ＯＯ７首部曲：皇家夜總會》中，情報員詹姆斯•龐德配戴歐米茄錶，便引起軒然大波，因為在小說中他是一個勞力士愛好者。
儘管物換星移，但人們對手錶的熱愛絲毫不減。（德通社�翻譯：袁星塵）
