A Brief History:
Origination: National Watch Day was implemented as a day to honor the invention of the watch. What a great and useful way to be able to keep track of time! The wristwatch history began in the 18^th century, with key developments in the 19th and 20th centuries. Initially popular among women, wristwatches gained popularity among men after the military used them in World War I. In 1810, Abraham-Louis Breguet made the first wristwatch for the Queen of Naples. In 1868, Patek Philippe designed a bracelet watch for a countess. The Garstin Company patented a “Watch Wristlet” in the 1880s, as women favored wristlets while men preferred pocket watches.

Are Watches a Jewelry Item? Watches inherently provide an element of decoration to what might otherwise be a plain outfit for men. In these instances, I regard them as jewelry. Nevertheless, the majority of men wear watches primarily for their practical functions, which leads to a merging of the distinction between a jewelry and fashion item, a women’s accessory, and even a tool.

The Military Use of the Watch: In the early 20^th century, men began wearing wristwatches, starting in the military for coordination. In 1904, Louis Cartier created a wristwatch for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. World War I increased their use, and by 1917, the UK War Office issued them to soldiers, enhancing their popularity. Watches for military use were made available with 24-hour “military” timing, including a watch that went around only one time per day, as opposed to twice for the a.m. and the p,m, Noon appeared the 6 o’clock, and it took time to get used to 6 a.m. appearing at the 3 o’clock and 6 p.m. appearing at the 9 o’clock.
