Do you know how people named the watch when it was created？
The first watch in the world is made in 1868 by Patek Philippe to the countess of Hungary Koscowicz. It is a pocket watch, But it was unpopular at that time.
In 1904, the French jeweler Lewis·Feilangsuowa·Cartier got a complaint from a pilot friend that when he flied a plane, it was very difficult to watch his pocket watch, because he had to make a hand out of the plane's joystick and took out his watch. Hope he could help to solve this problem, so that his friend can see the time during the flight. As a result, Cartier came up with a strap and buckle to attach the pocket watch to his hand, the pockvet watch attached to the hand is the firt-shape of the modern wrist watch.
In 1911, Cartier officially commercialized this type of watch and launched the famous Santos watch. Since then, wrist watches have became popular.
