Oxidised Watch For Women

 Oxidised Watch For Women




A watch is a timepiece, typically worn either on the wrist or 
attached on a chain and carried in a pocket. Wristwatches are the 
most common type of watch used today. Watches evolved in the 17th 
century from spring powered clocks, which appeared in the 15th 
century. The first watches were strictly mechanical. As technology 
progressed, the mechanisms used to measure time have, in some cases, 
been replaced by use of quartz vibrations or electronic pulses.
The first digital electronic watch was developed in 1970.
Before wristwatches became popular in the 1920s, most watches were 
pocket watches, which often had covers and were carried in a pocket 
and attached to a watch chain or watch fob. In the early 1900s, 
the wristwatch, originally called a Wristlet, was reserved for women 
and considered more of a passing fad than a serious timepiece. Men, 
who carried pocket watches, were quoted as saying they would "sooner 
wear a skirt as wear a wristwatch"
