Before 1900 men wore a pocket watch, for the ladies there were smaller variations that could be worn around the wrist. These so-called ‘wristlets’ were still thick and clumsy and therefore were worn primarily as jewelry. Yet, it was these ladies watches that have formed the fundaments for the modern wristwatch.
The great war meant that pocket watches were taken out of the pocket and put onto the wrist of soldiers. A gentleman’s tool for timekeeping had become part of a soldiers equipment and this meant the beginning of what we know today as wrist watches. However, we still have an original and beautiful Omega pocket watch from before the war.
