12. WATCH
A watch is a timepiece, typically worn either on the
wrist or attached on a chain and carried in a pocket.
Watches evolved in the 17th century from spring
powered clocks, which appeared in the 15th century.
Wristlets, as they
were called, were
reserved
for
women,
and
considered more of
a passing fad than
a
serious
timepiece.
13. In the nineteenth century, when soldiers discovered their
usefulness during wartime situations. Pocket watches
were clumsy to carry and thus difficult to operate while in
combat. Therefore, soldiers fitted them into primitive
“cupped” leather straps so they could be worn on the
wrist.
Lowly wristwatch, first adopted by military officers
in the 1880s to replace awkward pocket watches.
14. In 1906, the evolution
of wristlets took an
even bigger step with
the invention of the
expandable
flexible
bracelet, as well as the
introduction of wire
loops.
After the Great
War, many soldiers
returned home with
watches so commen
men accepted and
started wearing it.
15. In the 1920s, better sealed cases were
developed, including ones that were considered
as water and dust proof.
Shock resistant
balance mechanisms were developed.
