History of the Wrist Watch

June 2nd, 2009

From pocket watch to a fashion accessory. What was once, in the earliest years of portable watches, considered to be unsuitable for gentlemen and only for ladies, has grown today into a fashion utensil that everybody has. Meanwhile, the wrist watch is no longer only a instrument to tell the time. It is a designer piece and can indicate much more than the time.

A great deal of mechanics in a small housing

The first verifiable portable timepiece was built in 1500. This was not a wristwatch, but more of a pocket watch. Through technical advance, which made it possible for people to house mechanics in an progressively smaller space, the needed parts of the clockworks were able to be brought into a manageable form. In this way, the first pocket watch was born, which at the time was still the size of an egg.

The computerized wrist watch from Japan

A totally different watch came onto the market in the 1970’s from Japan, which had built its own watch industry. The new wristwatch from Japan was no more set on a mechanical basis, but on a computerized control. This wrist watch extended its range of capacity quickly. The wrist watch no more just showed the time. The little timepiece on the wrist now also knew the date, the day of the week and even knew whether a leap year was involved.

The wristwatch as jewelry

Now, the wrist watch is much more than a watch. The wrist watch has become a fashion accessory. Wrist watches come in all colors and shapes imaginable. One can also get compatible watches from all fashion collection. The current watches are dominated by the correct fashion trends. Despite these different trends, there is something for every taste. The tiny watches, which require glasses to tell the time, and the extravagant big watches, which make it hard to walk upright. In any case, one thing is certain: science is still likely to make so much advance – that the wrist watch will be found on the wrists of people for a long time, to answer the question as to what time it is.
