A Long History

People have been using watches in some form for about 700 years. This is actually about the time when clocks really came into existence in general. Gear and spring driven watches were invented in the 1400s in Europe. Did you know that watches actually were once worn around the neck? Like all things though, people found ways to change them and make them more convenient and that is when the wristwatch came into full view. Watches also were much larger, but kept shrinking even down to the great pocket watches we have seen.

Why the Wrist?

Well, we just talked about how these pieces use to hang around the necks of those who had them. Well, that was quite a chore to look at the time from your neck and there were situations when you could not pull it from your shirt. In 1904, French pilot Alberto Dumont-Santos realized that in order to successfully fly a plane he needed to tell time much easier. The best place to sneak a peek at the time yet still be able to watch the skies was the wrist. It was soon after that this trend really begin to take off and see some success.

Diamonds are a great complement that many people can take advantage of. The style and amount is up to you, just choose wisely.
