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been replaced by use of quartz vibrations or electronic pulses.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"
