The watches of today not only tell the time with an incredible degree of accuracy, but they can take barometric readings, depth readings, make complex calculations, and are capable of including small television monitors.
Watches had their humble beginnings in Europe in the very early sixteenth century. It is believed that locksmiths first developed the means of creating primitive timepieces using iron wheels and mechanisms. Prior to this, small sundials were in use. As technology advanced and manufacturing systems improved, so too did the quality and reliability of watches.
Until the early twentieth century, watches were most commonly worn at the end of small chains, or fobs, and kept in a vest pocket. After that, the wristwatch came into being and soon became the most common way of wearing a watch. As fashion marches forward, then retreats to where it once had tread, pocket watches are making a comeback, less out of convenience and more out of a sense of style.
