BRIEF HISTORY OF WATCHES:

In the history of watches, wristwatches were primary worn by women. They were thought to be delicate for men who were working on fields. Men in those early days had high-quality pocket winding watches. This prompted more innovations to produce watches that would stand men activities. Men pressed the manufacturing companies to produce them.

The pocket watches were modified for men to be worn as wristwatches during the first world war. This made the soldiers hands free for other activities. The birth of today’s wristwatch was born as we know it.

In the years that followed, the stopwatch was invented and later mechanical watch was replaced by the electrical watch. The quartz watch was born as we know it today. The history of the watches changes from the mere telling of time to luxury and fashionable pieces.

Today there more different watches for different occasions. We have divers watches, sports watches, military watches, pilot watches and many more. A watch has also been used on the surface of the moon.
