Wristwatches: From Women to War

Wristwatches: From Women to War

Did you know wristwatches were originally made for women? That’s right—throughout the late 1800s, men proudly carried pocket watches while women wore delicate wristlets. It wasn’t until World War I, when soldiers needed quick, hands-free access to the time in the trenches, that men started strapping timepieces to their wrists. Functionality triumphed over formality, and the masculine wristwatch was born.

Today, we’ve come a long way from ornate mechanical gears to sophisticated smartwatches. Modern wearables do far more than tell time: they track our steps, monitor our health, send and receive messages—even control our home appliances. What started as simple jewelry has evolved into a powerful personal computer on your wrist, seamlessly blending style with cutting-edge technology.
