Exclusive Imported Watch For Men

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been replaced by use of quartz vibrations or electronic pulses.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 wristwatchThis changed in World War I, 

when soldiers on the battlefield found pocket watches to be 

impractical and attached their watches to their wrist by a cupped 

leather strap. It is also believed that Girard-Perregaux equipped 

the German Imperial Navy with wristwatches in a similar fashion as 

early as the 1880s, to be used while synchronizing naval attacks and 

firing artillery.
