Women Watches
What was once, in the earliest years of take-away watches, considered to be unsuitable for gentlemen and only for ladies, has developed today into a fashion utensil that everyone wants. In the meantime, the wrist watch is more than a tool to tell which time it is.
The turn of the 20th century on the wrist
With the turn of the 20th century, a different level of technical advancement was given, which made it possible to put the mechanisms in an even smaller space. It was now possible to build the clockworks in such a manner that one were able to fasten them to a wristband without a problem. The practical application of this new breakthrough allowed the pocket watch to be quickly substituted by the wrist watch. It rapidly became the fashion to wear a wristwatch. It looked like the models sprouted from the ground and the diversity built with extended speed. In the early years, however, wrist watches were worn only by ladies. Gentlemen did not wear timepieces on their wrists.It just didn’t seem right. The war brought a change of mind concerning this. The soldiers quickly realized the advantage of a watch on the wrist, which didn’t have to be pulled out of the bag first. And in this way, the wristwatch prevailed with the male sex.
Away from the mechanical - on to electronics
While the first wrist watches were still being wound, several inventions developed in relation to the mechanics. The automatic wrist watch came out, which no longer had to be wound manually, but was wound automatically through the movement of the watch. Afterwards, at the end of the 20’s, the quartz wristwatch was invented. Time was indicated here by the so-called electronic oscillating circuit. watches for ladies
