Outdated, so what else is necessary to wear a watch?

For the ancients, time is mysterious and unpredictable. It is difficult to guess and cannot be touched. It was not until the advent of clocks that humans could intuitively "see" the existence of time.

In the 15th century, with the invention of the mainspring, it became possible to make portable timepieces. Although it was still very heavy at first, it can already be hung on the chest and held in the palm of the hand to carry "time" with you. In the 17th century, pocket watches in pockets became essential equipment for gentlemen.

Today, the wristwatch that is regarded as a "man's toy" was first worn by women. For example, at the beginning of the 19th century, Mr. Breguet made an oval minute repeater for Napoleon's sister, Queen Caroline of Naples, and it can be worn on the wrist.

Patek Philippe also produced watches combined with gold bracelets for the Hungarian Countess Koscowicz.

Men wearing watches are actually related to war. After all, it is extremely inconvenient to take out a pocket watch to check the time when fighting or riding a horse. So many officers began to tie pocket watches to their wrists, and even companies specially produced pocket watch leather cases. Wristband.

Special occupations such as pilots have even higher requirements for watches. For example, Cartier’s Santos was specially designed by Louis Cartier for the pilot Santos, so that when he controls the plane with both hands, he can easily check the time without having to take out his pocket watch.

Breitling later also developed an aviation chronograph with a ring-shaped sliding ruler, which can help pilots quickly calculate average speed, flight distance, fuel consumption, rate of climb, rate of descent, and other data, bringing the watch’s utility properties to a new level. Altitude so far is one of the favorite watches of pilots.

Diving watches were first developed for special occupations such as explorers and frogmen. For example, the Fifty Fathoms of Blancpain, which is so hot now, was made at the request of the French Navy’s Nageurs de Combat elite diving unit in the early years. It was worn during missions in the deep sea. Later it became the naval force of the United States, Germany, Israel, and other countries The standard equipment.
