Wrist Watch ⌚

From 1812 by BREGUET

wristwatch

A wrist watch is one that is worn on the wrist attached to a strap made of leather, metal or various plastic materials. Initially, wristwatches were unpopular with men, who preferred pocket watches and disdained wristwatches because they thought they were similar to jewelery. Wrist watches are of two types that are differentiated by their caliber or movement, which measures the passage of time and shows it. They can be mechanical or electronic, or a mixture of both. The first wristwatch, not even considered a watch but a bracelet, was designed in 1812 for a queen, Caroline Murat, one of Napoleon Bonaparte's little sisters for Abraham-Louis Breguet.
