In first place, it says that a watch is a small portable clock that displays the time and sometimes the

day,
date, month and year. Nowadays is very common to use them on the wrist. Something very interesting
is that before the 20th century, most watches were pocket watches.

We are gonna start with the types of watches.

Pocket watch
It says that sailors and explorers in the 15th century required a method of timekeeping in order to
accurately navigate and map their routes. And when John Harrison’s chronometer was introduced
everything got easier for them.

Wrist Watch
It was invented by Patek Philippe at the end of the 19th century. It says that it was considered a woman’s
accessory only. But later in the war time, it was easier for the officers to glance at a watch in their wrist
than fumbling in their pockets for a pocket watch.

Complicated Watches.
It says that a complicated watch has one or more functions beyond basic timekeeping capabilities; and
such functionality is called a complication.

Digital Watches.
In the second half of the 20th century cheaper watches appeared. And with that, digital Watches, they
were hugely popular at the time seen as revolutionary. The first one had a red light-emitting diode
display and a four-digit display.

Advanced watches.
As miniaturized electronics become cheaper, more functionalities have been inserted into watches. For
example calculators, video games, digital cameras, key drivers and even cellular phones. So as we can
see, Technology has no limits.

Watchmakers
It says that Patek Philippe & Co. Is one of the most and exclusive brands of wristwatches in the world.

The first wrist watch in history was made in 1868 by Patek Phillippe. This company has produced quartz
watches, bit it has never produced watches with digital displays.

Patek Philippe & Co. Produces many collectibles watches, and is still a coveted luxury brand.

The next thing is about two famous brands of wristwatches but we are only going to mention them and
to say that they are very luxurious and of course very expensive.
